Step I: High-Quality Acquisition
An effective HD workflow begins with the capture and recording of the HD image at optimal
quality — in other words, as close to the raw camera signal as possible. FFV’s award-winning
Elite HD™ is the first camera-mounted DVR and player to harness the J2K compression codec
for recording HD-SDI video signals. Designed to mount on the back of a camcorder, the Elite
HD accepts an incoming HD-SDI video signal with eight channels of embedded audio and
records at data rates up to 100 Mbit/s with 4:2:2 sampling and 10-bit quantization at nearlossless
compression.

Step II: Seamless File Transfer at the Lowest Cost per GB
The Elite HD™ records video on commercially available, hot-swappable 2.5-inch SATA drives,
which provide up to 10 times more storage at a much lower cost (47 cents/minute) than the
traditional onboard media of camera recorders. Once the camera input is captured and
recorded, the drive can be easily removed from the Elite HD and brought directly into any
editing system via the USB connection on the drive enclosure. This eliminates the step of
having to play the video out or transfer it to another device. The result is a smooth and unbroken
workflow from the point of capture to edit.

Step III: Versatile In-Studio Editing

FFV’s JPEG 2000 codec enables direct importing of a JPEG2000.mov file into popular NLE systems such as Adobe® Premier, EdiusTM, and Final Cut Pro®. Importing files is as simple as dragging and dropping them into a timeline, once the removable drive from the Elite HD has been connected to the computer via USB.
