The PIX 270i Recorder is a cost-effective, file-based video deck with an audio-only mode, designed for fast-paced studio, live event, and mobile productions. Its feature-rich expandability makes it an ideal AV solution for large-scale, multi-cam workflows or double-system sound applications. Whether used for capturing multiple camera ISO feeds at a sports stadium or recording numerous audio tracks at a live concert, its half-rack, 2U size makes it the perfect alternative to bulkier, complex video servers.
