 Independent Use With 

the Supplied Cradle 

The HVR-MRC1 can be used as an external 
recording unit, just like the HVR-DR60, by attaching 
the supplied cradle that has an i.LINK connector, 
battery attachment, and DC power input. When 
the HVR-MRC1 is connected to a computer via 
an i.LINK (IEEE1394) cable, it is recognized as an 
external drive and can be used to access files. 
When connected to a video device (such as a VTR 
or NLE system) via an i.LINK, it can be used to 
input/output a HDV/DVCAM/DV stream.
