nano3D Now with Anaglyph
In a major enhancement, anaglyph will soon be added to nano3D in the
form of a firmware upgrade (available to existing customers at no
charge). Anaglyph allows users to evaluate the stereoscopic effect
using a 2D monitor. Anaglyph can eliminate the need to purchase and
transport large and/or expensive 3D monitors for field production.
In addition to anaglyph, a 50/50 combine function were added to help
judge vertical and horizontal disparities. Daniel Symmes (aka Mr.
3D) comments
here about the advantages of anaglyph.

Features |
Convergent Design nano3D
builds upon the success of the nanoFlash, adding 3D recording and playback
with pixel-synced
(pixel-locked) playback. Instantaneous playback on set can be to a
professional 3D monitor or, if desired, to a large screen
consumer 3D television. This is possible since the nano3D incorporates
built-in 3D combiner/processor functionality; a
feature available in separate boxes from other manufacturers for thousands
of dollars. Instantaneous playback in 3D via the
low-cost Convergent Design nano3D will greatly enhance 3D productions.

| Why Nano Flash Recorder? |
1.Enable a camera with Tape recording mechanism to record in a Tapeless format
2.Record in 4:2:2 from HDMI or HDSDI output of camcorder
Camera Codec
Reference: MPEG-2 Color Sampling
Color sampling refers to selectively extracting information by skipping the color difference signal of some pixels. Applying the principle that the human eye is more sensitive to brightness than hue or saturation, sampling compresses signals by eliminating some pixels from the color difference signals to be read.
The color sampling scheme indicates how many pixels out of a four-pixel area (two pixels vertically by two horizontally) are used as brightness and color difference signal information.
In 4:2:0 color sampling, B-Y (Pb) is read in odd rows of pixels and R-Y (Pr) in even rows. Only information of one pixel out of the four-pixel area is read for B-Y (Pb) and R-Y (Pr), but this scheme is identified as 4:2:0 to distinguish it from 4:1:1 sampling.
3.Allow external audio inputs
4.Reliable recorder in a high vibration application ( Race Cars, Airplanes, helicopters etc)
5.Cost saving in the long run...
6 x 32G CF cards is under USD1500 + 1 Convergent Design Nano Flash (USD2995) = USD4495
6 x 32G P2 cards is USD3600
6 x 32G SxS Cards is USD4800 (more expensive as compared to 1xNanoFlash + 6 x 32G CF cards)
