By means of the
Video Dragon
, input data can be recorded, and output
data can be buffered on an externally connected hard disk.
Thereby, the
Video Dragon
can be operated without a control PC.
Hard disks of SATA I/II/III types can be connected. But best
performance results when connecting a SATA II type hard disk, as the
interface is designed for that.
The connector is an 11 pole eSATAp plug, providing also the supply of
the connected hard disks additionally to the SATA interface. But only
hard disks with 5V DC voltage and a maximal current consumption of
350mA can be supplied (usually 2.5” devices.
The eSATAp connector combines a USB plug, whereby the hard disk is
supplied, with an eSATA connector for data transmission.
