Video Devices Makes IBC Debut

Sound Devices' new visual branch-out Video Devices made its IBC debut at this year's show. Since Sound Devices introduced its first video products, the camera-mounted PIX 240i and PIX 220i, the company has introduced a range of rack-mounted, network-connected video recorders.

"While production sound equipment is our foundation, and we continue to develop new audio gear, video production has become increasingly important for us," says Matt Anderson, President of Sound Devices. "We are excited to highlight this new brand to the international broadcast community, in addition to our range of audio gear, at IBC2014."
The network-connected PIX 270i and PIX 250i video decks offer tapeless, file-based recording and playback with the ability to remotely control, set up and transfer high-quality files over Ethernet. The units record edit-ready Apple ProRes or Avid DNxHD files and allow simultaneous multiple-drive recording (four drives for PIX 270i and two drives for 250i). Audio capabilities include 64 channels of both MADI audio and Dante audio-over-Ethernet for PIX 270i (a world’s first for a video deck) and the PIX 250i’s 16 tracks of audio.
Over the next several months, the company will brand all video-related products as Video Devices, including the PIX 240i, PIX 250i, and PIX 270i recorders. All future video products will also be branded Video Devices.
