Playback of recorded tracks is from SDI and HDMI outputs. Device control is possible via the front panel transport keys or RS-232 or using a simple GPI trigger. Once the recording session is finished, simply eject the removable drive enclosure. The drive enclosure can then be connected via a USB 2.0 port to a PC or Mac based HD Non Linear Editing system. You then copy the required video as files across to your HD NLE media drive. As USB 2.0 provides power to the drive enclosure no extra power supply is required, so it is also perfect for laptop use in the field. The recorder can also run on 12V DC power so it is not limited studio use and can be used in an OB van set up too.
