Note: Please don't shoot the messenger.
I saw the Sony prototype Solid State SR recorder today. 1TB card Raid5 gives
4 hours of 440 Mbps. It can do 880Mbps for 3D albeit at half the record
time. Presently you can only archive to a SRW 5800 at 3X real-time. They are
working on a download station using a SAS interface for speeding up off
loading. Estimated price around 20K for the recorder and 2 512 Gig cards.
According to Sony rep next update of Avid MC 5.5 will read the MXF wrapper
natively. The Sony rep had a MC workstation playing back the SRW recorded
data from the 1Tb card. No you cannot use the XDCAM viewer software to see
it so you will need SRW updated viewer software.
Just thought my post friends would find this interesting.
