The future of digital video is storage on solid state devices like Compact Flash cards. Nowadays, even 1GB cards are very low prices compared to a couple of years ago. They offer high speed instant access to video. Panasonic announced that they would be releasing a DVCPRO25 type camera to be operated on Compact Flash by means of four 1GB cards in a PCMCIA package. This will enable 18 minutes of broadcast type video to be recorded.

You can update your Chameleon programmes with a built in content management system over TCP/IP networks or simply upload new files to the compact flash card.
