External Recording Material on an External Hard Disk

You can record (.avi) video material (video and audio) being input to the unit to an external hard disk connected to the i.LINK connector. By connecting the external hard disk containing the recorded material to a nonlinear editing system, you can go straight into editing operations, without the need to transfer data from video tape to the nonlinear editing system.

You can also play files recorded on the external hard disk as input source material.

This system can use two external hard disks as standard, or three with the addition of an option module, recording four channels (maximum six channels) simultaneously.

Streaming Broadcast

You can encode in Real Media streaming file format (.rm) in real time, for a live broadcast.
