That is a recorder that records an HD video (+16 channels of audio) from an SDI* video bitstream.I use it with my video switchers and 6-8 cameras for live event recording and live-streaming.These things are very popular for "iso recorders" on big TV productions. They run a recorder like this on each camera to capture everything in case the "live-switch" mix missed something or there was a better shot that the director didn't call. They are also popular for "video-walls" where you have a big array of TV screens and a video recording created for each position in the array. They are easily synced together with an ordinary 75 BNC cable daisy-chained from one recorder to the next. Then you can start-stop all the machines and play back the videos in perfect sync (with time-code embedded in the recordings). They can be controlled over Ethernet, and can even be powered by PoE.* Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_digital_interface
Records 6G-SDI 2160p30 digital video onto UHS-II SD cards...

Still an excellent box at a great price - just not defying the laws of physics quite yet.
This was up for about a whole 25 minutes before I got my hands on it

Very cool. Black Magic has been upsetting the video editing world for a while now. Awesome products, and usually 1/5th the price of other solutions.I remember seeing their first ad about how they were about to make a SDI capture card for (at the time) next to nothing. It blew people's mind.

That's a snazzy cleaner, Pat. Don't get too carried away or you may have to wear sunglasses in the lab when everything starts shining.

I seriously doubt that will ever become a problem, but it will be nice for bathing boards, cleaning knobs & whatnot, and will also likely find itself buzzing small engine and machine parts as well. I've had my eye on one for a year or more (since starting to watch Louis' videos, and getting stuff with 20 years of crud on it from Apex). Wound up getting some O/T a few weeks ago, so I had some $$ burning a hole in my pocket. Needless to say, it burned its way through...-PatCrest brand... can it be used on teeth?

Yes, please do not submerge your head in the ultrasonic cleaner to clean your teeth.
Having to assemble a 1.7mH, 200A inductor assembly made of totally $4750 of toroidal magnetic cores and $1000 of litz wires.I tried to do 1/16 of the job today, and it is really exhausting, especially the tinning part of litz wires. So I ordered a tin pot, a solder bar and a bottle of liquid flux.
