Rack-Mount Production Video Recorder

Welcome
Thank you for purchasing the Video Devices PIX 270i or PIX 250i video recorder.
This rack-mountable production video recorder and playback deck is extremely
scalable with extensive audio and video processing capabilities, such as 10-bit
video up/down/cross conversion, and hardware-based encoding to Apple ProRes
and Avid DNxHD codecs.
These features allow for fast, reliable acquisition of video (at any standard HD or SD
resolution and frame rate) and audio to ready-for-edit, industry standard QuickTime
.mov les. Audio acquisition on a PIX 250i is up to 16 tracks from analog, AES,
HDMI, or SDI sources, while a PIX 270i can record up to 64 tracks from analog,
AES, HDMI, SDI, Dante or MADI sources.

1. Attach Power
The PIX 250i has a single DC input, and the PIX 270i
(shown) has two redundant DC inputs—both XLR-4M
connections—on the back panel. Both video decks feature
PowerSafe™ technology.
While two power sources may be attached simultaneously on
the PIX 270i, it will use only one source at a time. By default,
the video deck operates from the primary power source rst.
The primary power source is the one attached to DC Input 1.
If the primary power source is removed or drops below
9 volts, then the PIX 270i switches, without operational
interruption, to the secondary power source (DC input 2)
if available. Should the primary power source return, or its
voltage rise above 10.5 V, then the PIX 270i would revert
back to the primary source—again without interruption.
In the event that all power is lost, or voltage drops below
the threshold, PowerSafe circuitry will activate. The internal
PowerSafe battery will power the deck while the PIX 250i
or PIX 270i displays a warning, stops any active recordings,
nishes writing les, and safely shuts down. This feature
ensures that les are protected from unexpected power loss.
To connect external power:
1. Plug the XLR 4-pin connector at one end of the XL-WP4 power
supply (shown) into one of the recorder’s DC inputs, located
on its back panel.
2. Plug the other end of the power supply into a standard AC wall
outlet.
When on, the video deck displays the voltage levels of all
available power sources as part of the on-screen display
(OSD), beside the label DC In.

When the device is fully booted, the active video input signal, if present, will be
displayed full screen.
To connect video signal:
1. Attach one end of a video cable to the appropriate output connector on your camera.
2. Connect the other end of the video cable to the appropriate input of the PIX recorder.

adjust headphone volume to OFF — full counter-clockwise —
before plugging in your headphones; then, with headphones
on, carefully raise the gain until you reach your preferred
level. Push in the VOL knob to recess it and avoid accidental
adjustments.

memory cards in PIX-CADDY CF accessories.
To attach an SSD:
1. Install an approved 2.5-inch SSD into a PIX-CADDY 2, ensuring
the drive is rmly screwed in with the supplied screws.
Some thinner drives may require the use of the PIX-SHIM accessory
to ensure a solid fit.
2. Insert the caddy, drive first, into slot 1 or 2 of the front-panel
drive bays.

To install a CF card:
▶Slide the CF card into the PIX-CADDY CF and insert the caddy
into an available drive bay.
Some approved mechanical drives may be used to record
QuickTime video files or Broadcast Wave polyphonic audio
files. Use only approved SSDs if recording to Broadcast Wave
monophonic file format is necessary. Visit www.videodevices.com/
support/approved-media for a list of approved storage options.

7. Format Storage
Drives and memory cards must be formatted by the PIX video recorder before used

8. Recording and Playback
PIX video recorders support recording both Apple ProRes and Avid DNxHD codecs,
with ve levels of data compression for ProRes and four levels for DNxHD. Both
codecs are “edit-ready” and eliminate the need to transcode video before importing
into non-linear editing suites, such as Final Cut Pro (ProRes) or Avid (DNxHD or
ProRes).
Play Button Stop Button
Record Button
To select a video codec:
1. Press the MENU button.
2. Select Video > Codec.
ProRes is a variable data rate codec; DNxHD is a xed rate
codec. The PIX recorders support all compression levels
and bit rates of both codecs, and automatically records
the correct bit rate dependent upon the video input
resolutions and frame rate.
During recording, the PIX 270i or PIX 250i writes to a
temporary le format with the extension .SDV and audio
les are written with the extension .SDA. When recording
is stopped, the le is “nalized” to a standard QuickTime
(.mov) le for video or a standard Broadcast (.wav) format
for audio takes.
To begin recording:
▶Press the Record (REC) button.
The Main Menu screen is not available during recording and playback.
While recording, the REC button illuminates red as does the timecode, le name,
and absolute time—all three of which are visible as part of the OSD. Also, the drives
(D1, D2, etc.) will appear red on the OSD and LEDs inside the drive bay (and on PIX
caddies) will illuminate amber while les are being written to the drive.
▶ Do not remove the drives while the LEDs remain illuminated.

9. Using the Monitoring Tools
The PIX 250i and PIX 270i also feature various monitoring tools to assist with
exposure and focus. These functions only affect signal on the LCD and never affect
the recorded video or the video output.
To activate a monitoring tool:
▶Press any of the following combinations:

two types of Zebras (Zebra 1 level and Zebra 2 threshold). Enabling which tool is
determined by the LCD Monitor setting called Exposure Assist.
LCD + MENU Press LCD + MENU simultaneously to enable Focus Assist. When enabled, Peaking
or Edge Enhance appears to mark sharp edges of the video image to help with
focusing. Also FOCUS appears in yellow on the OSD.
LCD + AUDIO Press LCD+ AUDIO simultaneously to toggle Zoom on and off. When on, the image
zooms to a 1:1 pixel ratio, and ZOOM appears in yellow on the OSD.
To view or adjust a monitoring tool’s settings:
1. Press the MENU button.
2. Use the Control knob to select LCD Monitor and modify settings accordingly.
