The Sony HVR-DR60 frees you from such dilemmas by allowing instant editing of your video footage. This 60GB drive offers a unique hybrid concept, in which video material can be recorded to the hard disk and the camcorder tape simultaneously with time code synchronized. Simply connect the HVR-DR60 to a PC running compatible nonlinear editing software. The computer will immediately recognize the recorded data files for a dramatic improvement in editing efficiency. With the HVR-DR60, the time-consuming digitizing process is a thing of the past. Another huge appeal of this Hybrid configuration is its improved efficiency in archiving operations. With your source footage available on tape and hard drive, you can immediately store the source tape in your video library without making copies to other media. Your work footage is already there on the HVR-DR60 hard disk. Further more, the HVR-DR60 has been developed by Sony as a perfect companion for the HVR-FX1, HVR-FX7, HVR-V1, HVR-Z1, HVR-Z7, HVR-HD1000, DSR-PD170 and DSR-250/1 cameras. The unit can be mounted on the cold shoe of the camcorder. Alternatively, using the supplied VCT-1BP bracket, it can be mounted on the rear of the camcorder. This has less negative effect on the balance of the camera and frees up the cold shoe for other uses. e.g. a radio mic. The point of attachment can move, so the HDD can be locked in whatever position is most convenient. You can mount the VCT-1BP to the tripod by a screw. The HVR-DR60 mounted on an HVR-V1P BatteryThe last thing you want to worry about on location is using different types of batteries. With the HVR-DR60 you can use the same infoLITHIUM L Series batteries that are used for the HVR-FX1, HVR-FX7, HVR-V1, HVR-Z1, HVR-Z7, HVR-HD1000, DSR-PD170 and DSR-250/1 camcorders. Using the smallest capacity NP-F570 battery, the HVR-DR60 operating time is approx. 270 minutes (4.5 hours), and with a high-capacity NP-F970 unit, this increases to approx. 810 minutes (13.5 hours). Long operating hours are possible with the batteries that Sony HDV users already have at hand. HDD Smart ProtectionThree advanced technologies are used to ensure the reliable recording performance of the HVR-DR60. Rubber shock absorbers hold the HDD unit in place, preventing external shock being transmitted when the HVR-DR60 chassis is subject to impact. A 3G sensor detects gravitational acceleration in three dimensions, so however the HVR-DR60 may be oriented, the sensor can detect if it has been dropped - in which case power to the HDD is shut off and the recording heads are retracted from the disk platters, pausing read/write operations. This protects the HDD from being damaged when the unit is accidentally dropped and subject to strong impact. The third feature is a buffer memory, capable of storing approximately 14 seconds of video and audio footage. Recordings are made by first writing the data to the buffer, and then writing the buffer data to the disk platters. Consequently, if the 3G sensor temporarily interrupts disk writes, video footage is not lost.
