MR-HD100 with Other Devices

When clips exceed 9 minutes in length, the MR-HD100 automatically creates a new, file without dropping any frames. The two files have the same root filename but have different two digit suffixes that indicate the order of their creation, -01, -02, and so on. This process can produce as many sequential 2GB files as the drive can hold.

With most NLE systems it is possible to use clips within the timeline. Select the clips on the source volume, i.e. the connected MR-HD100, and import them directly into the NLE bin.

This makes clips immediately available in the NLE timeline.

The high transfer speed of the MR-HD100 drive permits direct streaming of the clips to the NLE, thus eliminating the need to copy or transfer the clips before their use.

UDF

UDF does not have the 2GB limitation on file size which permits the MR-HD100 to record clips of up to 1.5 hours in length.

UDF Perm Default Set to Read-Only.

When using Mac OS10.5 and UDF Perm is set to Read-Write, it may take several minutes for the disk drive to mount on the computer. Setting to Read-Only permits faster mounting times.

UDF and 720p 50/60 Quicktime Recording
