Convergent Design’s nanoFlash recorder/player

There are times when I love watching the competitive aspects

of the marketplace of our industry at work, and there are

times when I find its machinations absolutely appalling.

Examples of the latter are the VHS/Betamax and

Blu-ray/HD-DVD smack downs, and a great example of the

former is Convergent Design’s nanoFlash, along with the

entire emerging line of high quality digital video and audio

field recorders.

The proliferation of HD shooting and post-production at all

budget and quality levels has brought with it a demand for

field recorders to provide longer shooting times, higher quality

recording capabilities than those available in camcorders, and

greater flexibility and efficiency in post workflows. These

range widely in price and feature sets, and feature a wide

variety of recording media and methods, I/O options, size,

portability and configuration.

Competition and innovation from the creators of these

devices have made them all more dependable, more affordable and better functioning.

Building in part on its experience in making digital video conversion hardware, Convergent Design created

the Flash XDR. This is a cigar-box sized digital recorder with SD and HD-SDI inputs and outputs (and analog

and digital audio I/O) that records MPEG-2 video to a block of four CompactFlash cards. Based on the

success of that product, the company has launched a new sibling, the nanoFlash, which is a smaller and less

expensive recording device that shares much of the design philosophy and practicalities of its bigger brother.

FEATURES

The nanoFlash is a heavy-duty aluminum box measuring 4.2x3.7x1.4-inches. It weighs in at less than one

pound, not counting the power source. Media I/O connectors are BNC for SD and HD SDI, mini-HDMI, and

3.5 mm, for stereo analog audio in and out. A 4-pin Hirose connector carries power and also functions as the

power switch, while a 10-pin Hirose connector carries LTC and remote signals; both plugs lock positively.

Two CompactFlash cards slots are on the side, with an eject button and a status LED for each. The top panel

has an LCD control and status screen along with eight membrane buttons for operation and menu navigation.

The capabilities of the nanoFlash are determined by its firmware. They are user upgradeable and in a state of

constant improvement and development. This by no means implies any instability or less than professional
