Ikegami Tsushinki, Toshiba announce tapeless acquisition, production system

Ikegami Tsushinki and Toshiba said at NAB2007 that they would jointly develop and promote an advanced video production/editing system.

The collaboration combines each company's expertise to deliver a system that is composed of the GFCAM hybrid tapeless camera; GFSTATION, a new central video management and recording system based on flash memory; and GFSTATION PORTABLE, a portable version of GFSTATION.

All image and sound data are recorded to GFPAK, a removable medium that can be used with all system components. The network connectivity of all system elements creates a tapeless environment.

GFPAK is based on semiconductor flash memory. GFPAK also integrates proprietary technologies and enhanced error protection.
