"The most advanced low-cost tapeless HD ENG solution available, the GFTM Series product line was developed in cooperation with Toshiba (a world leader in Flash memory) and includes the GFCAMTM HDS-V10 tapeless camcorder, the GFSTATIONTM GFS-V10 multi-format studio recorder, and GFPAKTM high-capacity Flash media to record more than two hours of HD video. The GFTM Series tapeless HD ENG system?which features an open-codec HD/SD architecture, proxy video, and advanced metadata convenience?leverages the increasing integration of IT networking in the broadcast industry and delivers unprecedented file-based HD workflow efficiencies extending from digital video capture, to non-linear editing, to final content delivery."

IMO....

multi-format === means they can work between varying formats.....utilizing directive structure(typical) and non-directive structure(e.Digital)

advanced metadata convenience....means they utilize directive structure...ie FAT.... and break it up into files of, IMO, non directive structure simple, (meaning a file is serialized(linklist), however without the utility efficiencies of 445, meaning they cannot edit the linklist directly as e.Digital can.)

Newer versions of MSFT, format allocation utilizing what they call mediadata tables...ie taking a FAT and breaking it up into multiple tables of directive structures. Can you see the difference between this and the above noted?

non-linear editing....means they can not edit as noted above....they need to utilize RAM resource to edit and re-save a file.

The issues of 774....microcontroller and cache, are utilized to stream the non directive structured linklist. For the issues of a card being removed, the stream is interrupted. Typically a file is shadowed, or paged from a removable module to static RAM resource and managed from there...if you remove the card the file keeps playing.
