Sound Devices PIX 240 ProRes/DNxHD Video Recorder with EPIC

[stu aull]

I believe the PIX devices have _great_ potential for us Scarlet (soon-to-be) users, especially with the cost of RED SSD vs price-point of the Scarlet. I mean, we are in a completely different category than our $40k+ Epic bruthas where dropping $6-8k on media is not as much of an issue. Of course I would have at least ONE SSD for recording HDR or 150FPS situations (with hoped for playback into the PIX?), but day-to-day for many Scarlet users an attachable HD recorder will be a god-send... at least until Moore's Law kicks in with the SSD market...

Here is a Q for the Red Team: Scarlet is spec'd to ONLY have a HMDI-out (no SDI), making the (non-SDI) PIX 220 recorder the more practical (and $1k cheaper!) option.
The Q: will Scarlet offer HDMI-triggering for the RECORD function? Please!

And - for those who want the complete skinny on PIX, their site features the Ops Manual as a PDF. Interesting read.
Look forward to User results here!

Reading into this post, Looks like it will be some time before we see playback.

[Omar Al-Masab]

Can at least some one from Red reassure that playback is working internally ?

We're working on playback. It's still #1 on the priority list.

On-camera playback, oh how I dream of thee, and not a $3,000 fee.

This thing also provides realtime 1080p to 720p conversion for the videotap purpose. It is the coolest.
