Additionally, the simultaneous recording feature allows four separate HD ProRes files, each with its own compression profile, to be written to AJA Pak SSDs or other eSATA-connected media. The channels coming into the unit can be displayed on the included 720p LCD screen in a quad-split layout that can also be output via HDMI, SDI and fiber.
The device supports up to 16 channels of audio over each input, for a total of 64 channels of audio recording.
