Hello Andrew,

I am quite new to this recorder and was wondering if I can use it whit my BMCC to have much smaller files?? I want to ba able to edit on a less powerfull computer. Do you just plug the box between your BMCC and the ssd and you get H.264 files directly when you shoot whit the camera?

Thanks!

Felix

From the SDI Out on the BM Cinema Camera you should be able to take that video stream and simply connect it to the H.264 Pro Recorder. Note, you will be recording into a computer via the USB cable from the H.264 device.

Sounds like you have the device. If so confirm that you can successfully record from the Recorder to your computer. I would be extremely leary of doing this on a professional and/or paid shoot unless you are certain you will get a continuous uninterrupted signal. Test, test, test.

Good luck.
