The Video Devices PIX-E monitors/recorders get firmware version 3.0, which opens ProRes recording to the SpeedDrive while simultaneously recording H.264 to an SD card. The H.264 codec is familiar to video content creators offering a good balance between compression and quality to reach low data rates and small file sizes, making it perfect for web streaming, email, and faster file uploads.
