Sony HVR-MRC1K Fascicule

The Memory Recording Unit can be used as an extern-

al recording unit, just like the HVR-DR60, by attach-

ing the supplied cradle that has an i.LINK connector,

battery attachment and DC power input. When the

Memory Recording Unit is connected to a PC via

i.LINK, it is recognised 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 i.LINK, it can be used to input/output

a HDV/DVCAM/DV stream.

The Memory Recording Unit can be integrated to the

HVR-Z5E, HVR-Z7E or HVR-S270E without the need

for cabling, simply by attaching it onto the special

shoe connector*. This smart combination never inter-

feres with shooting operations. The Memory Record-

ing Unit automatically synchronises with the recording

action of the camcorder - i.e., when the camcorder

starts or stops recording, so does the unit.

*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.

Simultaneous HD and SD recording allows the record-

ing of HD material to tape and SD to CompactFlash

media. Giving the flexibility to shoot for today’s SD

production and HD value in the future

The HVR-MRC1K allows the use of tape and/or non-

linear recording media, giving you the ability to pro-

duce a reliable backup recording. HDV or DVCAM

tape-based users can therefore move gradually to IT

workflow with this hybrid-operation.

Files for quick editing and tape for archiving - this

means you can immediately access a movie file for

streamlined NLE work, while keeping the master

source tape in a safe place.
