General Overview
ATOM-USB is a high definition digital video and audio USB recorder that can record up to five individual
3G/HD/SD-SDI video signals on to five individual USB drives. It has been designed in co-operation with
users to provide a simple and convenient way of capturing HD video and embedded audio to MPEG4 files
for such applications as television production, music, events, compliance, sports analysis, medical, and
security applications.

Flexibility and Capability
ATOM-USB is the most flexible USB recorder in the industry. It has multi-channel capability in a modular
1RU chassis that can accommodate up to five video recorders. When used for sports production, for
example, simply press the record buttons to record five different versions of a feed (such as a clean feed, a
dirty feed, a director’s feed, a coach’s feed and an official’s feed). Simply press the stop button when you’re
done and your recordings are ready within seconds.
The auto sensing inputs allow you to record 3G/HD/SD-SDI with embedded audio directly to a USB drive
while the looping 3G/HD/SD-SDI output allows users to make up to five copies of the recording by inter-
connecting a (looped) output digital video cable between each record channel. The H.264 codec ensures
high-quality recordings that are encoded as MP4 files incorporating both video and audio. You can also
connect to the native Web UI and adjust the bitrate to optimize the recording to suit the capacity of the
USB drive and quality of recording.
Connecting Power
Connect the 2.5mm 12V DC power adapter to the bulkhead power socket labeled PSU1 located on the
left rear of the unit (indicated in red in the figure below). If you have an additional power adapter, you can
connect it to the power socket labeled PSU2 for redundancy. Having the one power adapter connected is
a requirement while having a secondary power adapter connected for redundancy purposes is optional.
