S.two Corporation has announced another addition to their industry-leading family of products.

The FlashDock is a portable editorial ingest and archival station for FlashMag solid-state magazines from OB-1 , S.two s revolutionary on-board digital film recorder.

The smallest self-contained uncompressed recorder for HD, HD4:4:4 and raw production, OB-1 weighs under 7 lbs. (3Kg) and draws under 20W of power, is powered directly from the camera, fully solid state and completely silent in operation.

Supporting uncompressed 4:4:4 RGB and raw data, including ARRIRAW, the FlashDock provides multiple transfer target interfaces, including dual-link HD-SDI, eSATA, USB 2.0, Gbit Ethernet, RS422, and SAS. FCP-style XML and Avid-style ALE metadata files are generated and made available over Ethernet or to a USB device for automated editorial ingest.

An optional Expansion Chassis provides two half-height LTO3/4 drive bays and is powered from the FlashDock for true on-location archival or backup capability. The FlashDock is capable of operating on 100-240VAC or 24VDC power and is designed to be used on remote shoot locations, in the studio, or in a post production facility.

This is the workflow component that our OB-1 customers have been looking for, said Chris Romine, President of S.two. It is economical, field portable and facility friendly, and satisfies both dailies generation and backup requirements with a user-friendly touch-screen LCD interface.

First production units have been shipped to sales and marketing partner Band Pro Film & Digital Inc. and are available for immediate delivery.
