IO Industries recently announced Rodeo, an ultra-compact, rugged, video recorder, designed for RAW recording from high-performance video cameras. Rodeo is ideal for demanding applications such as volumetric capture, 4D face/body scanning, motion analysis and industrial trouble-shooting; and is an excellent choice for multi-camera setups.
Rodeo’s performance specs are impressive. Its video interface is CoaXPress 2.0, the standard popularly used in newer generation scientific and industrial cameras utilising large format image sensors with high data rates. Rodeo’s FPGA-based lossless compression engine delivers an effective recording rate of 2GByte/sec (camera output) to an internal SSD (up to 2TB).
Features include a precise multi-camera shutter and timecode synchronisation with accurate timestamping. Rodeo’s 10GbE copper/fibre interface connects to a network switch for PC control and monitoring, providing the scalability required for setups with 100+ cameras. Rodeo’s SDI video output provides a secondary path for low-latency live monitoring over SDI infrastructure.
IO Industries’ StudioCap-VC application software is optionally available to Rodeo users. This software provides live video monitoring, video download, recording control and access to camera settings. An optional SDK is available for developers.
Rodeo is compatible with a broad range of cameras made by IO Industries and other camera manufacturers. Contact IO Industries for questions about camera compatibility.
