I missed the Cine Deck Editor's Lounge so I wasn't aware that they can now do seamless file insert edits. This is the device I've been waiting for. It's just like a tape machine but records to a file with up to 16 channels of audio. Did I mention it can insert edit? Gone are the days of 3 hours of rebaking a file just to change a title. On top of this it can simultaneously record to multiple drives and insert on them, depending on the file codec. It can also generate an H.264 proxy file with tc burn in all in real time. You can't edit into the H264 file but you could have the deck do a stand alone export to H.264 approx half of real time. This really seems like a no brainer. The base 2 channel unit that would replace a tape deck is around 22K and then you pay for which wrappers you want. If you get the QT wrapper you get all the QT codecs including ProRes, DNX and others. It will do virtually any codec although the don't as of now have an Sony SR codec. This is huge to me. All this for about half the price of a digibeta deck back in the day. I don't see how this can't take off big.
The one thing I wasn't able to confirm was if when doing a digital cut monitoring the Cinedeck output if there is some form of Confidence head like playback to assure that there is no glitch in the file. I'll endeavor to find out more about that. This is like having a deck and getting a file too. Can anyone tell me why this isn't the greatest thing since I discovered OKI Dogs?
P.S. I was told this isn't some AS-11 type of reference pointers etc... The file is just a single file like we are use to.
