HDV in IT Workflow by CompactFlash

Memory Recording Unit

The Memory Recording Unit is supplied with each 
camcorder to support HDV tape recording.
It captures the HDV1080i, DVCAM, or DV stream output
from the camcorder and records it as movie file while you
are simultaneously recording to tape.
You can use a standard CompactFlash (CF) card*, which
offers secure recording, high-speed access, large data
capacity, removable media convenience, and high 
durability against external vibration.

*Not supplied.

The CF card is used for HDV camcorders because the
media is easily obtainable for file recording in the same
way as miniDV tape is easily obtainable for HDV 
recording. This general versatility is very important for
those who frequently need to obtain media quickly, such
as someone shooting a documentary or news reports
while moving from city to city.

Integration Without Cabling

The Memory Recording Unit can be integrated to the 
HVR-Z7U or HVR-S270U without the need for cabling,
simply by attaching it onto the special shoe connector*

11

.

This smart combination never interferes with shooting 
operations. The Memory Recording Unit automatically
synchronizes with the recording action of the 
camcorder – i.e., when the camcorder starts or stops
recording, so does the unit.

*11 The intelligent shoe connector inputs and outputs an HDV/DV stream
and supplies power to the Memory Recording Unit. The i.LINK connector
is not available when the unit is attached on the camcorder.
