New 1 Beyond Wrangler offers industry's fastest and only parallel multi-P2 unloading with simultaneous writing to multiple devices

1 Beyond™, Inc., a leading provider of digital video editing and compositing systems, today announced the immediate availability of the 1Beyond Wrangler™, the industry’s first portable field ingest, editing and playback system for P2 file-based workflows.
Ideally suited to meet the unique needs of video professionals working with HD content ‘in the field’, the 1Beyond Wrangler allows users to rapidly and reliably unload multiple P2 tapeless memory cards on set or while they’re out shooting on location. The new portable system also lets users instantly review their footage in high resolution HD or full screen mode, add metadata to video clips, and should they opt to, quickly edit their footage for instant playback.

“The new Wrangler offered by 1Beyond is further evidence of the momentum of Panasonic’s P2HD technology in the broadcast and HD content production marketplace. 1Beyond’s product is a P2 compatible, workflow tool that will help more users enjoy the benefits of a flexible and faster file-based workflow,” comments Michael Bergeron, Panasonic Broadcast’s Strategic Technical Liaison.

1Beyond Wrangler is available in two configurations:

– Wrangler – 17″ LCD screen, solid-state system/applications disk for ultimate reliability, with 2 raided video 1 Beyond GoHDCart drive cartridges, available for $6,995.

– Wrangler Pro – 20″ LCD screen, solid-state system/applications disk for ultimate reliability, with 6 raided video 1 Beyond GoHDCart drive cartridges, available for $12,995.

The 1 Beyond Wrangler Pro also offers an option for collaborative work on the road, allowing up to five PCs or Macs to be connected, giving each user the ability to edit HD footage in real time.

Both systems feature the new 1 Beyond Wrangler ingest management software with an intuitive interface to allow users to quickly and automatically download their P2 cards while writing to multiple 1 Beyond high performance GoHDCarts (redundant hot-swappable HD Cartridges in cast aluminum rugged cases). Both systems also include four simultaneous P2 card readers, a DVD burner (Blu-Ray available as an option), and a second DVI output to connect an additional monitor or HD projector.

Designed to provide extremely reliable in-the-field performance, the 1 Beyond Wrangler systems are completely self-contained, ruggedized, portable systems featuring a heavy-duty metal, shock-resistant body, with a roll-about case for easy travel. They include fold down full sized keyboard with numeric keypad and touchpad.

The 1 Beyond Wrangler is a new ingest option complementing the company’s entire product line of end-to-end compatible tapeless workflow products. It is available immediately from 1 Beyond and has been certified to work with Avid Media Composer, MoJo DX, Adobe CS4 suite, Matrox Axio, RTX-2, AJA Xena HD, Blackmagic (all), Grass Valley Edius, SP,
