HDD recorder (composite/SD-PAL and NTSC)

[Vladimir Peeters SOA]

STOPPING ACTIVITIES ON SET, I AM SELLING THOSE UNITS (4 AVAILABLE)

This is a (very difficult to locate) HARD DRIVE digital recorder, made in CANADA, "state of the art" equipment back when SD video was used on FILM camera to record/playback video assist. 

I bought 6 of those which were used extensively on many film sets across the EEC.

In Canada and the USA, those machines were also very popular.

I am selling ALL 4 of those, which are still in perfect working conditions, just because I am not using them anymore...

IF YOU ARE BUYING THE ALL LOT, I'LL GIVE YOU MANY EXTRA PARTS AND HDD'S  AS SPARES AND EVEN SPARES FROM BROKEN UNITS FOR EVENTUAL REPAIRS

But I am sure there might be rental houses or freelancers looking for a way to record SD (video assist) pictures on hard drives, without compromise, without using an SD to HD up-converter to record on "modern" devices such as Pix, Atomos, or any others...
