Introduction
The PIX 220i and PIX 240i are highly advanced video recorders which can record digital video sig-
nals from SDI or HDMI sources to an internal 2.5” drive or CompactFlash (CF) card. These recorders
can also record very high quality audio simultaneously with the video to industry-standard Quick-
Time (.mov) files. QuickTime files can be edited with all major video editing programs.
The PIX recorders compress the incoming video signals using the popular Apple ProRes or Avid
DNxHD codecs at up to 12 bit, 4:4:4 sampling. Both codecs offer excellent video quality in a “ready
to edit” file, not requiring transcoding while importing video.
The PIX 240i features both SDI and HDMI inputs and outputs. The PIX 220i has HDMI input and
output only. The PIX 240i offers a full built-in Ambient® Lockit Timecode Generator/Reader, AES/
EBU audio inputs, and provisions to connect to an external, stand-alone eSATA hard drive.
