Can the SI-2K MINI and the Wafian HR-1 work together?
Yes, the Wafian HR-1 can run SiliconDVR, essentially using the Wafian like any other controlling PC platform. This the workflow that Atomic VFX used for their feature film “Spoon”. Additionally, the Wafian can ingest from a variety of other YUV-based analog and digital camera sources, and should be strongly considered if one is doing a multi-camera shoot. The Wafian can also serve as a centralized NAS hub for CineForm RAW™ recording, with files from the SI-2K MINI and SiliconDVR-based recording PC being streamed over gigabit ethernet to the Wafian in the background while recording of other devices takes place in the foreground. Using the Wafian as a centralized NAS, CineForm RAW™ and YUV HD files can then be seamlessly edited together on a single Premiere Pro timeline without any cross-rendering needed for real-time performance.
