All the actions below can affect the state and performance of drives as well as negatively impact recording: Most issues that arise during recording are media related. Even if it’s just to the in-camera recording card. We also advise you to always make a backup recording. Especially, when you have to record an extremely costly production.

But, they could no longer reliably record video.ĭon’t skimp on drives to save a few cents. This does not mean they all completely stopped working. They had a 100% failure rate within 6 months.

Also, some drives have extremely high failure rates.įor instance, once Cinedeck had drives provided from a manufacturer for testing. In general, most SSD drives are not optimized for best performance in this specific case. Real-time video recording, especially multistream, is unlike any other use-case for SSDs. SSD specifications advertised by manufacturers can be very misleading. The Cinedeck development team can absolutely confirm that not all SSDs are created equal. However, we may not be able to provide technical support should you have any issues due to non-approved SSDs. You may use other SSDs with your Cinedeck recorders.

O Cinedeck ZX and RX have an available PCIe slot for 8Gb, 10Gb or 16Gb network cards as well as direct attached storage.Ĭinedeck currently supports all models of Samsung Drives, specifically:

Cinedecks are Windows 10 Embedded based so fully support SMB shares and client software is often available for SAN installations.

Additionally, the Cinedeck operating system can be setup to support iSCSI file systems.

For recording and playback, all Cinedecks can also utilize network storage including NAS (network attached storage) and SAN (storage area network) systems requiring client software.

Currently, Cinedeck only recommend and support Samsung Pro and EVO series SSD drives.

Additional sleds as well as portable and installable receiving chassis are available to enable easy ‘sneaker-net’ workflows.

Cinedeck SSD drives are mounted in removable, hot-swappable, dual drive cartridges or ‘sleds’.

All Cinedeck files, including pre-striped black files, can support up to 32 channels of audio.Īll Cinedecks write video and audio recordings as files to low cost and commonly available non-proprietary 2.5” SSD SATA drives.

These black files can be recorded into while providing full random play access on another Cinedeck channel or they can be played with a third-party viewers such as QuickTime or VLC Media Player. All of these processes will often be more efficient than recreating the entire original destination file.Īdditionally, pre-striped or blacked files (Cinedeck VMM – Virtual Mastering Media), can be created in advance and used as an insert edit destination for recording or editing in a non-linear fashion.

Directly on the Cinedeck, users can insert a live source into a file or perform frame accurate inserts of one file into another. Inserts can be performed directly from non-linear editors such as Avid Media Composer and Final Cut Pro, using the same procedures as if editing to tape. Simple, replacement of video and or audio in an existing file, similar to a traditional tape-to-tape insert edit, can be done with ProRes, DNxHD, AVC-Intra, JPEG 2000 and XDCAM HD content wrapped as MXF OpAtom, Op1a or MOV files.
