nNovia offering free 120GB Mediapac

[x002657]

with pre-orders and 50% deposit made before June 1st for their new DVCPro-and-better Quickcapture.

Set for release mid June, (either the 16th or 19th), nNovia will be offering a Quickcapture deck capable of recording DV, DVCPro, DVCPro50, and DVCProHD. (I think even HDV, once you throw a switch on the back of the unit).

List price is $ 1,599 for the Quickcapture with no Mediapac. List price of the 120GB Mediapac alone is $ 299.

Same day, they will also begin offering a 160GB Mediapac for $ 349. Per nNovia, that will allow up to 3 hrs continuous recording at DVCProHD.

Connection via 1394.

"Old" Mediapacs can be used in either old or new QC units, after reformatting. (They are only HDDs; while the QC deck contains the chips & firmware for the codecs).

Finally, long-form recording for the P2 line, with versatility to switch to HDV. Looking forward to this.

Hmmm, reads like a press release.?
Well,I bought a Nnovia A2D V-Mount brand new 18 months ago, it records DV only, I asked Novia if they would do a firmware update to be able to match their competitor, (Firestore 100) they Bluntly said WE NO LONGER SUPPORT YOUR MODEL.
So I suggest if anyone buys one of these newer units, expect precious little to no support from Nnovia.
Mine is now a $3200 AUD paper weight, I wanted to record MXF 50meg SD P2 files but my Nnovia is dead at DV resolution only.
I purchased more P2 cards instead of persisting with add-on HDD's.
I would recomend anyone buying an external HDD to get the firestore, they are years ahead of Nnovia in design / support and firmware upgrades.
