Introduction

Venom FlashPak is a solid-state recorder designed to be used in conjunction with Grass
Valley's Viper FilmStream Camera. The use of Venom gives an on-board recording capability
matched to the outputs of the Viper, with full quality uncompressed recording of all formats
supported by Viper.

Venom FlashPak mounts on to Viper using a docking adaptor, which gives direct connection
such that a FlashPak can be quickly removed and replaced. Each recording is given a "Take"
number and metadata can be attached to identify and describe each Take.

After recording, data is downloaded directly from Venom into a long-term storage device and
backup recordings can also be made. After data has been transferred, the Venom can be
erased and re-used immediately.
