The latest update on the much anticipated and long-awaited Cineporter camcorder storage solution is that it will tentatively be available in late 2007. The project was announced over a year ago, most recently Specialized Communications has completely reworked the chassis and electronics. On one forum, a SpecComm rep stated “…the shipping unit will be like buying V.2, even though V.1 never shipped.”

We understand that the Cineporter will feature:
*160GB / 320GB options (one or two drives)
*Internal 2.5″ SATA hard drive(s), fan-cooled, options for RAID
*PCMCIA-like interface that plugs directly into the HVX P2 slots
*6 ft cable extensions will also be available
*Under 2.5lbs
