Full Remote
The HDi-250 has been proven for use with computer control as well as AMX® and Crestron® controllers. Full remote capabilities are available via TCP/IP LAN, RS-232 and USB ports. Multiple Inputs include High Definition HDMI and Component as well as SD Composite.

1U Rack Form Factor
The HDi-250 is housed in a rugged enclosure with rack-ears supplied for easy operation as a desktop or rack unit.

Multi-Machine Control — Built In
BCD’s experience in multiple-machine control makes it easy to operate many recorders individually or at once. Each unit has a separate IP address and also a separate DECK name for serial control. This is particularly useful for government and military applications when multiple sources must be recorded simultaneously.
