the home for FCP and friends in Berlin

from final BUG excerpt from Paul Murray and Clemens Seiz

And last but by no means least, if any one still doesn´t get it that size doesn´t mean every thing then check out the Bonsai from Rosendahl. This is a family business, They immediately made us feel at home on there stand. Thanks for the excellent coffee.

So what does this thing do. It is basically a standalone synchronisable portable hard disk recorder. The unit records uncompressed 4:2:2 Pal or NTSC on a standard IDE drive!

Playback and recording capabilities comparable to a large studio recorder. Think about it. You´ve finished editing you´re 10 minute TV program on a budget system. Rather than going with a hard drive to a big fat editing system to play out to a DigiBeta recorder, go direct to the recorder and plug you´re beautiful little Bonsai directly into it! No adaptors breakout boxes required. i.e. you´re renting the Digi Beta recorder and not the complete online edit suite and recorder!

They are working on their prototype with ethernet capabilities for connectivity of more than one Bonsai device. Ideal for Multi-camera editing. Edit files whilst still transferring from the Bonsai to another drive with an FTP program. Even set markers in the future.

They also have a great slogan, “More Play, Less Work”

We got a demonstration. Which blew us away. Bravo.
