Clouzen showcases its portable media backup and offloading devices at NAB 2026. The company presents a compact, battery-powered unit designed for in-the-field backup. This device includes a 2TB internal SSD, a built-in battery, and slots for CFexpress and SD memory cards. It can offload footage from cards to its internal SSD at speeds of approximately 400 MB/s. The unit also supports copying to an external USB drive, though this requires an external USB power bank (20-30W) to power the external storage.

HDMI® Technology is the foundation for the worldwide ecosystem of HDMI-connected devices; integrated with displays, set-top boxes, laptops, audio video receivers and other product types. Because of this global usage, manufacturers, resellers, integrators and consumers must be assured that their HDMI® products work seamlessly together and deliver the best possible performance by sourcing products from licensed HDMI Adopters or authorized resellers. For HDMI Cables, consumers can look for the official HDMI® Cable Certification Labels on packaging. Innovation continues with the latest HDMI 2.2 Specification that supports higher 96Gbps bandwidth and next-gen HDMI Fixed Rate Link technology to provide optimal audio and video for a wide range of device applications. Higher resolutions and refresh rates are supported, including up to 12K@120 and 16K@60. Additionally, more high-quality options are supported, including uncompressed full chroma formats such as 8K@60/4:4:4 and 4K@240/4:4:4 at 10-bit and 12-bit color.

For connectivity, the portable device is equipped with Wi-Fi 5 and a Gigabit LAN port, enabling direct uploads to cloud storage services. It supports major platforms including Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive, which are configured via a mobile app using a Wi-Fi Direct connection. While Wi-Fi upload speeds are around 3-5 MB/s, the Gigabit LAN port offers a faster alternative. Users can also connect a 5G modem to the LAN port for high-speed cellular uploads from the field.
The internal battery is designed for extensive use, capable of copying up to 1.5 TB of data from SD cards on a single charge. For more power-intensive CFexpress cards, it can handle approximately 500-600 GB. The typical battery runtime for continuous SD card copying is about two hours. The device supports microSD cards via an adapter and CFexpress Type A cards using a Type A-to-B adapter, providing flexibility for various camera media.
Clouzen also demonstrates a larger, high-volume offloading station for multi-camera productions. This unit is built to ingest media from up to 16 memory cards simultaneously and back them up to three connected USB drives at once. It leverages a custom-designed architecture with a specialized CPU to manage parallel data transfers, achieving speeds of up to 400 MB/s per card for a combined throughput of over 1.2 GB/s.
Beyond high-speed offloading, the larger station incorporates a critical media integrity feature: a card health check. Before a shoot, users can insert their cards to run a diagnostic test that analyzes the card’s capacity and response time, identifying potentially risky media to prevent data loss. The device’s user interface provides a clear graphical representation of the health status of each card, ensuring media reliability before it is used in a camera.
