Compact Playback System Delivers Highest-Quality Images for Movie Productions via FFV's Board-Level Digital Video Recorder
IRVINE, Calif. — May 6, 2008 — HPVIDEO, a provider of leading-edge video assist equipment for the motion picture industry, has incorporated Fast Forward Video's Recon DVR™ board-level digital video recorder (DVR) into its new Briefcase portable video playback system. Fast Forward Video (FFV) is a recognized innovator of DVR technology for broadcast, professional video, presentation, and military applications.
FFV's Recon DVR is an ultra-compact system that delivers extraordinary image quality and scalable compression for a wide range of real-world OEM applications. The Recon DVR provides integrated recording capabilities in HPVIDEO's new Briefcase, a portable, dual-camera HDD video assist system that enables movie producers and directors to play out and view a scene before committing it to film. The Briefcase provides built-in intercom capabilities, dual tuners, and dual 7" touch-screen monitors, and enables playback on up to four external monitors.
"The Briefcase is designed to provide all of the built-in video assist capabilities that even the most complex, large-scale production might require, in a single compact package — and the Recon DVR makes it possible," said Hamayak Pertshikyan, president of HPVIDEO. "With the Recon DVR, we knew we would be able to provide a highly flexible solution without sacrificing performance or image quality, and FFV's global industry reputation and excellent customer service were also large selling points."
"HPVIDEO's Briefcase is exactly the type of product that the Recon DVR was designed for," said Hal J. Reisiger, president and CEO of Fast Forward Video. "As the video recording engine for the Briefcase, the Recon DVR provides robust playback capabilities at a resolution that mimics the actual quality of the filmed content."
