Hybrid Video Footage Recording Capability

Optional 128-GB Flash Memory Unit, HXR-FMU128
Sony proudly introduces the HXR-FMU128, an optional 128-GB flash
memory unit exclusively designed for the HXR-NX5U camcorder.
This enables hybrid recording of video footage – another world
first for an AVCHD professional camcorder. Other capabilities
include simultaneous recording of HD and HD video footage, and
even the combination of HD and SD, realizing an instant backup
in the desired format. The 128-GB storage capacity provides
continuous recording for almost half a day at the highest bit-rate –
incredible in a unit of such compact size. This is an ideal option for
recording music festivals, seminars, and weddings, and for making
documentaries, all of which require extended recording times.
Simple Direct Attachment
The HXR-FMU128 is designed exclusively for this camcorder, so it
attaches directly to the back of the HXR-NX5U.
Long, High-quality Recording
The memory unit enables approximately 11 hours of continuous
recording in the highest FX 24-Mbps* mode.
* FX 24-Mbps mode comprises 21-Mbps of video data and 3-Mbps of audio and
other data.

Simple Data Transfer and Input
Simple connection to a computer via a USB slot means there's no
need for an external power supply. Once the HXR-NX5U is linked
to a PC via a USB2.0 cable, files can be
uploaded directly. This allows fast file
transfer to popular NLE systems, and
saves valuable time.
*Notes on HXR-FMU128
- HXR-FMU128 formatted by a 60i (50i) camcorder cannot be used by a 50i (60i) camcorder.
- Rebooting of the camcorder is needed when HXR-FMU128 is attached while the
