This sounds like a great deal! This unit looks small as well. I was just wandering about power option- which none of the brochures stated, which is if it is possible to power it with some sort of battery supply, when you are off the electric grid.

Although it doesn't specify the voltage, the power connector is low-voltage, which means it is almost certainly able to accept battery power. That type of connector isn't used in line voltage applications, as it isn't safe for higher voltages.

This could save a ton of cash for those for those considering the Intensity Pro inside a Magma Expressbox option. But hopefully you can work with Cineform with this box, it'll be a shame if this doesn't support compressed or uncompressed 4:2:2 chroma.
