San Diego, CA -- DVEO, the broadcast division of CMI, announced the release of their new multi-function compact H.264/AVC digital disk recorder (DDR) with both removable 120 GB hard drive and CF card storage.

Designed as a rugged recorder/encoder for cameras that support the professional HD-SDI standard, the Millennia HD is a real time, hardware based, H.264/AVC recorder in an 8" x 6" x 3" system that records and encodes simultaneously. It supports simultaneous DVB-ASI output and storage to either a removable 120 GB hard drive or CF Card Storage.

The Millennia HD encodes HD-SDI to H.264 and records it onto the removable HDD or Flash disk, and at the same time it can send out the H.264 signal in DVB-ASI. Or, it can decode stored recordings and send them out as HD-SDI.

The Millennia HD provides compact and long term recording from new generation HD cameras that output HD-SDI (SMPTE 292M) in1920 1080i/59.94, 720p/59.94, and 480i/59.94 formats. The system comes with a 120 GB IVDR
storage card and a slot for a Compact Flash card. It records up to 11 hours of high quality HD video at 20 Mbps, and up to 30 hours at lower bit rates.

"Our customers are very pleased with this versatile H.264 encoder," said Laszlo Zoltan, Sales Manager for DVEO. "The Millennia HD is very cost-effective because it can do so many tasks. It's ideally suited for rugged applications such as military and law enforcement use, sports broadcasting, reality TV, and electronic news gathering."


The Millennia HD is now shipping. DVEO will also showcase the new system at the International Broadcasting Convention (IBC) in Amsterdam, September 11-15, 2009, at Stand 2.C33.
