This is a 12-bit codec designed to preserve the detail in wide dynamic range imagery captured by today's high performance digital image sensors. PIX-E can record 4K up to 30 fps, UHD up to 30 fps and 1080p or 720p up to 60 fps. * Available only on the PIX-E5 and PIX-E7 models. SpeedDrive™ Recording and File Delivery The PIX-E records to the affordable, super fast SpeedDrive, an industry standard mSATA drive contained within a custom-designed enclosure. The SpeedDrive, which plugs directly into the PIX-E, doubles as a USB 3.0 thumb drive for very high speed offload to any computer without the need for a special cable or drive docking station. Two SpeedDrive options are available, a 240 GB SpeedDrive and an Enclosure-Only version that allows the user to choose and easily fit any size of mSATA drive. mSATA drives are available in sizes ranging from 128 GB to 1 TB. Best-of-Both-Worlds User Interface Some functions are better controlled via touchscreen and others by real buttons. PIX-E incorporates both types of control. The touchscreen is best used when interacting directly with a specific area of the displayed image such as zooming in to a point of interest with TapZoom. Buttons allow the operator to locate a control without looking and instant tactile response leaves no doubt a function has been activated. Button control is well suited to commands such as 'Record' where failure to activate can be catastrophic. Mechanical Construction and Powering With their compact, die-cast metal chassis, nutted connectors, and an LCD protected by scratch-resistant and optically-bonded Gorilla Glass 2, the PIX-E field recording monitors are designed to withstand the most extreme and demanding production environments. The PIX-E monitors are powered by external DC (10-34V) or dual L-mount Sony batteries with powering seamlessly switching from one source to another should one become depleted or removed. PIX-E Accessories PIX-LR The PIX-LR audio interface is a screw-on accessory that provides PIX-E monitors with two XLR inputs and outputs, featuring Sound Devices-caliber mic preamps, hyper-accurate LED metering, and dedicated transport and gain controls. SpeedDrive The SpeedDrive, which uses standard mSATA SSD drives, plugs directly into the PIX-E and doubles as a USB 3.0 thumb drive for very high speed offload to any computer. PIX-E KIT The PIX-E Kit includes a hard case, sun hood, articulating arm, two SpeedDrives, two Sony-compatible L-mount batteries, USB3 Y-cable, and video I/O cables.
