Intros Apollo
C

onvergent Design's Apollo is billed
as the industry's first portable HD
multicamera recorder/switcher.
It can simultaneously record up to
four HD video signals, along with a fifth
channel of either a live-switch between
the four or a quad-split reference view.
It can also function as a four-channel
live switcher while simultaneously
recording the four iso HD video signals.
There are two media slots, allowing
twice the record time or for mirror
recording on industry-standard 2.5"
SSD media.
Using the new Apollo Media Manager
App, recordings can be exported as
separate Apple ProRes files or as a
single multicamera QuickTime file

that drops directly
into the timeline of
supporting NLEs such
as FCP-X.
"Apollo is designed
to
answer
many
modern
production
needs," said Convergent
Design President Mike
Schell. "Field producers
can take it on location, record
from any four HD cameras, view a
quad-split playback on the way home
and drop all four cameras in perfect
sync into a single timeline to dive
immediately into an edit."
Additional functions planned as a
free firmware update in Q1, 2016,

The Apollo HD
multicamera recorder/switcher

include two-channel 4K/UHD video
recording, DNxHD recording, and
cascade interconnect between up to
three units.
