On screen

 

A new device can, claim the designers, allow filmmakers to store hours of uncompressed footage in an on-camera recorder.

Called FlashBox, the device can store high volumes of raw footage in digital cinema and high definition (HD) formats.
 
Developed by the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits (IIS) in Germany, the FlashBox slots directly onto a camera with a resolution of up to 2,048 x 1,080 pixels.
 
Stored on two solid-state disks, together they can have an accumulated storage capacity of 500Gb.
 
Speaking to The Engineer, Angela Raguse of the IIS said: “The motion picture business tries to keep the highest-quality data from the camera as long as possible.  By storing it uncompressed there is no data loss.”
