FlashBox for film makers
Thursday, 17. September 2009, 08:03:03
Film professionals can now store hours of digital films without compression using a new on-camera recorder.
FlashBox, developed by researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits (IIS) in Germany, docks directly onto a movie camera and records images for digital cinema and high definition (HD) in a resolution of up to 2,048 x 1,080 pixels.
The images are stored on solid-state disks that operate in two slots so that the disks can be exchanged. The Fraunhofer researchers claim that, together, these disks can store 500Gb of film takes.
The production of digital motion pictures requires shooting individual scenes of 20-50Gb and this data needs to be stored on set.
FlashBox is claimed to simplify the entire film production process by allowing digital movie cameras such as the ARRI D21 or the Sony F35 to send uncompressed data for storage.
