STORM 3G
3G - sdI edItInG w Ith hdMI MonI torInG output
3G hd/sd sdI-based, multi-format editing with hdMI monitoring.
STORM 3GTM is designed for video professionals who want one solution for both SDI-based editing and tapeless workflows, with the capability to preview their projects on affordable HDMI monitors. [. . . ] The STORM 3G board can handle any mix of high- and standard-definition (HD and SD) video content; unlimited video, audio, title, and graphics layers; and any combination of real-time effects. It also
offers real-time, full-resolution, full-quality HD and SD video outputs. An optional timecode in/reference out board takes a linear timecode source via the BNC connector and provides two reference outputs-blackburst or tri-level sync-providing a means to synchronize both the STORM 3G and an external device, such as a source deck, from a single timecode source.
