Hi,
Saw this at a trade show yesterday:

Thought it would make a good compliment to the JVC HD series camera, for recording that uncompressed 1080i/720p output in the field? Or am I missing something? (p.s. the rep said it should retail at around 12000 euros)

It would work with the HD250 (seems to require HD-SDI). The only caveat is that it doesn't seem to record uncompressed. The choices are JPEG2000 or MPEG.

We are testing this Motion JPEG2000 in our HD-media servers. It gives amazing quality. To compare... You get the same quality compressing MPEG2 factor 6, while you get the same quality at factor 30 with MPEG2000 at high resolutions.
It's also choosen to be the Digital Cinema format DCI (http://www.dcimovies.com/). Although the name states MPEG it uses a total different algorithm to compress the files then the MPEG1-2-4, VC-1 or H.264 family.
The main difference is that MPEG2000 uses a new compression technique and does compress it frame by frame, no I or P frames are used.
