Big feat, small feet: The HighPoint RocketStor 6328 is said to reduce footprint without
Up to speed for 4K recording Codex/Panasonic By David Fox
Codex is developing a recorder for Panasonic’s new VariCam 35 4K camera. It has also added support in its Vault workflow system for the Red Epic Dragon and Phantom Flex4k cameras. It is working with Panasonic to deliver the only compact, high- speed 4K or Ultra HD 12-bit uncompressed Raw recorder for the VariCam 35. The dedicated recorder (shown on Panasonic’s stand) will capture uncompressed 4K VariCam Raw at up to 120 frames per second, and will work with Arri LDS or Cooke /i technology for lens data capture. Rapid transfer of digital camera originals for post production and archiving is then possible using Codex Vault. The V-Raw recorder connects to the back of the VariCam 35, eliminating cabling completely, for improved efficiency and greater mobility while shooting. It should ship later in the year, alongside the camera.

Codex is also is working with
Vision Research to provide a robust workflow for the Phantom Flex4k camera, which will use its Vault modular mobile workflow to rapidly transfer the digital camera originals from the Flex4k for review, post production and archiving, with playback of 4K material to a 4K monitor for review, quality control and basic colour grading. GPU-based processing facilitates fast, high- quality transcoding to H.264, Apple ProRes 4444, Avid DNxHD 444 and uncompressed RGB formats.
Codex also has a new workflow for Red Epic Dragon
cameras, including support for Red Rocket-X hardware processing, for efficient 4K workflows – clone, playback, QC, deliverables and archive. It has worked with Red to provide native Codex debayering for Dragon Raw footage. Codex and FilmLight are showing the results of their technology collaboration that links Codex Vault to the Baselight grading system, allowing grading decisions, made on-set with the Baselight FLIP realtime image processor, to be viewed and rendered into dailies deliverables on Vault. 11.C71/9.D40 and 9.C45
HighPoint Technologies
By Ian McMurray
Visitors to IBC old enough to remember when a dual floppy drive PC — rather than a single drive —was the height of computing sophistication are doubtless amazed by how computing storage has been transformed in terms of size, transfer speed and reliability. Showing its latest innovations is HighPoint Technologies. Combining the features of HighPoint hardware RAID solutions and Thunderbolt 2 PCIe expansion into a single, palm-sized adapter, the HighPoint RocketStor 6328 Thunderbolt 2 to 6Gb/s SAS RAID Adapter is said to be ideal for compact workstations or portable computing platforms,
substantially reducing hardware footprint without sacrificing performance. Hardware RAID, SAS expansion, SATA port multiplier, and LTO tape drive devices can now be hosted, simultaneously, from a single RocketStor 6328 adapter, for Mac Thunderbolt platforms and OS X 10.9.x and later. The built-in hardware RAID
controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and JBOD
configurations, while the dual external mini-SAS ports directly support up to 8 SAS/SATA hard drives and SSDs, up to 20 when paired with SATA port multiplier capable drive enclosures, and as many as 128 via an SAS Expander. The RocketStor 6328 natively support arrays created with any HighPoint RocketRAID controller and Mac OS X RAID configurations. 5.C11
