It has dual SDHC/SDXC card slots for simultaneous or relay recording of footage in a variety of bit rates, frame rates and resolutions. There is also an integrated streaming engine for live HD streaming. Additional features include genlock and time code terminals, HD/SD-SDI and HDMI out, and dual XLR mic/line inputs and stereo AUX inputs.
Eagle Media Productions offers its sports coverage through a live stream on the Golden Eagles Athletics website and locally through the campus TV service and Comcast.
