Great America Country cable network adopts Canon DSLR workflow for Gary Allan: Live at the House of Blues, capturing concert live in HD with 5D Mark II and EOS 7D cameras and Canon EF 24mm and 28mm prime enses

Anthony Burokas | Maxell’s iVDR on-camera, modular hard drive-based storage system gives you the long record time of hard drives but with removable media packs, so you can swap them out and keep the camera crews shooting. The media packs are ruggedized with internal isolation. Maxell touts operating shock tolerance of 350 Gs—something generally only possible with flash media. Plus, with the iVDR-X adapter, you get faster access to your footage than the FW 400-based FireStore or a USB 2.0 connection to anything.
