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.

For what it can do, I was pleasantly suprised at how reasonably priced they are. It looks pretty cool too, but I have no need for one*.

* Since when was that a reason not to own one?
Records 6G-SDI 2160p30 digital video onto UHS-II SD cards...
Just to be fair - it is not recording 6gbps to SD cards - it is seriously compressing that data into a MUCH smaller payload with a ProRes codec. Still an excellent box at a great price - just not defying the laws of physics quite yet.

Yes, of course. It offers the user's choice of these codecs for compressing the video...

I want one. How much does those cost?
Perfect ! I bought 34401A listed as broken after 6 hours since listed.
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.

I remember BlackMagic from a few years ago when they introduced a m43 "film" camera for peanuts.. just went to their website, wow. It's amazing how much stuff they have now. In like 4-5 years it's amazing to see how far they've come. Their products are great for the price.

Wow.
You are very lucky I did not see it first.
Congratulations.
I noticed the "In Cal" light is off.
Is that a problem, may be?

I am very lucky! I had to buy it instantly, at that price. That's not much of a problem, I don't think. It might have been off of power for awhile, but that will just take some time to settle out. I can cal it at my lab, once I feel it is sufficiently stable!
Nostalgia struck again. I got one of the GW-Instek GOS-6112 100 MHz oscilloscopes from the ITT sell off. Looked almost unused and all functions work. I got mine for $89 USD shipped and a fellow Ham club member scored a manual with his that he graciously allowed me to scan. It gets added to my GPC-3020 power supply and GDM-8251A DMM.
Finally decided to buy and cry
I expect that this will wind up being used for many different things.

Tektronix FG502 11 MHz function generator. It's in rough shape - repair thread initiated ...
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.

LMAO!
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...

Yes, please do not submerge your head in the ultrasonic cleaner to clean your teeth.
Heh, i just won a P6046 and amplifier for 48$ + shipping
fucking sniper, i saw my original bid jump from 9,99 to 48 at zero seconds
which also added import duties, a whopping 120$ in the end
still, hoping everything works i'm satisfied
Yuck. Utrasonics do nasty things to the eyes. At least wear swim goggles.
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.
Why is the wire so expensive, pure quantity of copper? Hopefully can post pics when its done.
