Is there a solution to recording direct to portable hard drives off the HD/SDI?
Not to a Nanoflash or Ki Pro, but to a regular HD? With or without a Macbook pro in the equasion.

Well, this search (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=sdi+hard+drive&N=0&InitialSearch=yes) seems to indicate it is possible.

What I was hoping for is the ability to feed a user supplied HD, not something that is part of the third party package.

This would do it, but I don't think you can get just yet. Has internal 2.5" for SSD, and eSata for external. Records 10bit Cineform through to uncompressed.

Cinedeck looks nice but I bet it will be a cool million :)

yea, the cinedeck would do it but it is expensive. I don't need another monitor. wonder if they will make a stripped down version that only does what I'm looking for. It has to be on someones desk, perhaps at nab?
