190. Can the Flash XDR/nanoFlash record ASI to a card and then play off the card to an
ASI stream at a later time?
Not at this time.
191. Can the Flash XDR/nanoFlash still be used as a recorder once ASI is activated?
Yes, there is a menu option to put the unit in ASI mode. Take the unit out of ASI mode
and it acts like a solid state recorder.
192. How much power does the Flash XDR/nanoFlash use?
• The Flash XDR uses 12-14 watts (depending on if analog audio is activated).
• The nanoFlash uses 6 watts.
193. Can the Flash XDR/nanoFlash be configured to power up automatically and start
encoding/decoding?
Yes, this was done to support remote units so if the power was removed, when it came
back, the unit would power up and start encoding/decoding as soon as it sees a valid
video/ASI signal.
194. Does the Flash XDR/nanoFlash store settings through a power cycle?
Yes, all settings are stored.
195. How do I start the Flash XDR/nanoFlash encoding or decoding?
The Flash XDR/nanoFlash automatically starts encoding when it sees a valid video
signal and decoding when it sees a valid ASI signal.
196. How do I know the quality of the video is any good?
We use the Sony 6
th
generation MPEG-2 CODEC. This is the same CODEC used in
the PDW-800 professional XDCAM-HD camera.
197. How can I get more information?
