Just because Maxell left the disc manufacturing to other rivals doesn’t mean that it’s bowing out of the external HDD market. Announced this week, the firm has introduced its all new iVDR, which “connects directly through a bi-directional USB or eSATA adapter to a shoulder-mounted camcorder capable of delivering 10-bit, 4:2:2 master-quality video and native full HD video.” In layman’s terms, this here drive caters to those logging clips in the rough, and its innate ability to resist drops of up to 4-feet makes it the ideal candidate for even the clumsiest shooter. Unfortunately, mum’s the word on price, but we are told that a 160GB version (with a 540Mbps transfer rate) is set to land in Q2, while a slightly more capacious 250GB edition is hitting shelves in Q3.

Now that you’re already penning a purchase requisition for one of those fancy new P2 HD camcorders, you might as well toss a couple of Panny’s new 64GB P2 cards (model AJ-P2C064) and its AJ-PCD35 ExpressCard adapter on there, too. Yep, Panasonic has chosen NAB Show 2008 to double up on its current 32GB P2 card and to introduce a five-slot P2 memory drive with an ExpressCard interface. Put simply, the latter can hold all five cards from a fully-loaded VariCam 2700 / 3700 camcorder (or any other P2 rig) and give users the ability to upload content on the go with their ExpressCard-equipped laptop. Regrettably, the company didn’t bother doling out dollar figures just yet, but we’d go ahead and file ‘em both under “expensive.”

RED’s trifecta of hot new gear announcements at NAB wrapped up with the RED RAY optical disk drive, which promises to play back 4K video from the RED ONE, 3K video from the new Scarlet and the usual assortment of HD formats from RED Disc and RED Express media, as well as native R3D RAW files from CompactFlash. 5K video from the new EPIC isn’t supported, though. As with all of RED’s announcements today, specs are promised to change, but the clever name of the drive has us thinking that it’s based on Blu-ray — we’ll keep digging for details.
