OVERVIEW The ICON is a portable, ruggedized field recorder for uncompressed acquisition (DPX) of data or video from digital cinema cameras. The recorder system consists of two units: the recorder body, and the media pack ("data magazine"). In the image above, you can see the recorder body occupies the lower 2/3 of the system, and the media pack docks on top of the recorder body. The concept behind all of Colorspace's products is one of modularity. The ICON is no exception, being extremely modular in design. Media packs can be based on solid state technologies. Even the recorder body itself is highly modular, with removable touchscreen allowing for solo operator or first assistant configurations, as well as assignable hard buttons, power button, and record button located on both sides. Mount it upside down, sideways, in a crash cage, however you please. Following the theme of modularity, the ICON is software driven, and designed to be updated via the Compact Flash slot on the input panel. As our development improves the featureset of the ICON, existing owners won't be left behind, because software updates will be available directly for download. INPUTS 4:4:4 ("DUAL LINK") 4:2:2 ("SINGLE LINK") Stereoscopic 4:2:2 1080p, 720p, 29.97, 23.98, the ICON can accept any SMTPE input-- it sees only data and doesn't discriminate. 2k + 4k support is handled on an individual basis, as there are no prevalent standards for 2k and 4k data. Colorspace is working with the various 2k/4k camera manufacturers to support data-mode acquisition. Dual AES3 2-channel XLR OUTPUTS 4:4:4 ("DUAL LINK") or 4:2:2 ("SINGLE LINK") over HD-SDI, zero delay "pass through" output 4:4:4 ("DUAL LINK") or 4:2:2 ("SINGLE LINK") over HD-SDI, "preview" output. To be used for monitoring with LUTs, timecode burn, aspect guide burn, etc. DATA OUTPUTS Gigabit Ethernet USB Fiber Channel (Further data outputs available upon individual request) INTERFACE 7" Touchscreen Module, completely removable via thumbscrews Metal hardcover for touchscreen module, latches at top and swings down, with latches at bottom for complete removal Tactile record button, power button, 3 assignable hard buttons, all on both sides RUGGEDIZATION Cast metal body -- not flimsy plastic Components are internally shock mounted for added protection Designed to operate in desert and arctic environments alike Passive bi-directional latching system allows for media pack to be docked one-handed without operating the latch Passive latch designed for "glove friendly" operation   © 2007 Colorspace, Inc.
