High-speed
imaging is memory-hungry
Shooting 1000 frames-per-second at HD resolution, for example, will
record 4 seconds to 16 GB of RAM. And saving that same shot via standard
Gigabit Ethernet will take 15 minutes (much quicker with 10GB ethernet
option) which are are better spent shooting.
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 the CineMag, a reliable hot-swappable, non-volatile
memory solution for Phantom digital high-speed video cameras that
improves shooting-and-recording workflow. The CineMag is a storage
device incorporating secure, non-volatile flash memory for high speed
Phantom raw footage. Cines can be recorded into camera RAM and then
the recording uploaded to the CineMag in seconds. This eliminates
camera down time between shots. If the application demands longer
record times, then the CineMag can be used in Run/Stop (R/S) mode,
allowing for several minutes of record time at lower frame rates.
Available in two models (see below) the Cinemag is compatible a variety
of Phantom cameras. Cines can be recorded at full speed to RAM and
shifted the to the Cinemag, or recorded directly into the CineMag
with speeds of up to 700 megapixels-per-second with the Phantom HD
Gold for example.
 Recordings
stored in the CineMag can be accessed with the Phantom software in
the same manner as recordings in the 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 hot un-plugged 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).

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
 camera
time. (Left: CineStation with CineMag attached on top)
How do the CineMag and CineStation
work together?
The Phantom CineStation is the download station for the CineMag
and is used as an off-camera solution for viewing, editing and
saving cines previously stored on a CineMag. This frees up the
camera so that it can 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
ability to play the cine files stored on the CineMag over dual
HD-SDI video outputs or component video. The optional 10Gb Ethernet
version of the CineStation accelerates workflow even more.
A CineStation works by connecting to a PC running the supplied
PCC software via Gb or 10Gb Ethernet, where the user can view
each Cine stored on the CineMag, set in- and out-points to trim
the Cines, and save the files to a connected hard disk drive.
This process can also be fully automated.
