HOT-SWAPPABLE MEMORY (CineMag) AND DOCKING STATION (CineStation)
Workflow solution for high-speed imaging

CineMag
High-speed imaging is memory-hungryPhantom CineMag non-volatile memory unit
Shooting 1000 frames-per-second with the Phantom HD at 1920 x 1080 and 14-bits-per-pixel will use 3.6 GB of memory for each second of recording and take 15 minutes for a 4-second recording to save via standard GB Ethernet. Those are 15 minutes are better spent shooting, maintaining the momentum and pace on set. Equipping a camera, such as the Phantom HD, with a CineMag does the same thing in about 10 seconds.

The Phantom CineMag also enables long record times for events that would normally exhaust built-in memory.

Improving workflow
Acknowledging the memory needs of high-speed imaging, Vision Research have developed a reliable hot-swappable, non-volatile memory solution for Phantom digital high-speed video cameras that improves shooting-and-recording workflow.

Available in three sizes (128 GB, 256 GB and 512GB) and suitable for the Phantom HD, 65, v210, v310, v12.1, v710 and v640 digital high-speed video cameras, cines can be recorded directly into the CineMag with speeds of up to 700 megapixels-per-second. If higher speeds are needed, the cines can be recorded directly into the camera's RAM and then uploaded to the CineMag in seconds.

CineMag unit attached to cameraData can be accessed in the CineMag from the Phantom software in the same manner as recordings in a camera would be accessed. Cines can be viewed, trimmed, enhanced and then saved to hard drive.

When the CineMag is full and cines are safely saved, the unit can be removed and another snapped into place and recording can continue without interrupting the workflow. The raw cine recordings can be viewed later using the same camera or a Phantom CineStation docking unit. (See below).

More CineMag features
*** Capture all important events. Multiple recordings of a recurring event can be safely saved using a CineMag-equipped camera set up for automatic saves

*** Provdes a safe, secure, and portable storage for cine files

*** Immediately save high-speed recordings to non-volatile memory and the camera is free for the next event

*** Efficient cine raw format packs a great deal of information into available memory

*** can be "played out" over HD-SDI link or component video if using the CineStation. (See below)

What happens when I finish recording to the CineMag?

CineStation

The ultimate companion to the CineMag
The CineMag/CineStation combination have been designed to work as a tandem team both to improve workflow and to save valuable CineStation with CineMag attachedcamera time. (Left: CineStation with CineMag attached on top)

How do the CineMag and CineStation work together?
With the CineMag mounted on a compatible Phantom camera, the CineMag can hold 128, 256 or 512 GB of raw cine files in safe, portable, non-volatile memory. What happens to all that data at the end of a recording session?

How does the CineStation improve workflow?
The Phantom CineStation is an off-camera solution for viewing, editing and saving cines previously stored on a CineMag eliminating the need to involve the camera and so leaving it free to continue recording.

The CineMag is moved from the camera and installed on to the CineStation from which each saved cine can be quickly reviewed.

The CineStation supports both raw digital and video workflows by providing a fast-file download capability, as well as the ablility to play the cine files stored on the CineMag over dual HD-SDI video outputs or compoent video. The optional 10Gb Ethernet version of the CineStatuion accelerates workflow evern more.

Attaching the CineStation to a monitor using the standard dual-link HD-SDI or component video outputs, saved cines can be played, rewound, fast-forwarded/reversed, and single-stepped. Simple corrections can also be made such as gamma, brightness, contrast and saturation.
