The highly anticipated Flash XDR HD recorder/player from Colorado Springs, CO-based Convergent Design has begun hitting the street (at least in the hands of select “alpha” customers).

Can anyone explain what "DIT Video Village" is? I Googled and cannot find a reference. (see paragraph from article below)
“This workflow will save me a lot of money and the hassle of working with tape,” said Michael Palmer, an independent shooter and one of the first users. “It also allows me to own the camera at a very affordable price, sync time code of multiple cameras, shade the image on set (via a DIT using a video village setup) and capture a 1920x1080 signal straight back to a low-compression, low-price recording device.

DIT stands for Digital Imaging Technician and
'video village' (generally speaking) is a location of 1 or more monitors that show the camera image. Often set up for the director to examine framing or when a small set is being used and a minimum of personnel can be near the shooting.
When shooting with an HD or Red camera video DIT Video Village includes other tools like separate waveform monitor, which is a very helpful tool in setting up the camera right.
The term was very probably created due to the crowd that develops around video assist monitors on film sets.

I am looking for a system that can take footage in the field from an EX camera in a remote location and transfer it fast to media that can be sent in to our facility in the US. How can I demo a flash XDR drive?
