HYBRID Recording
The HVR-MRC1K and HVR-DR60 provide a HYBRID recording capability by
which images are recorded to tape and non-linear media simultaneously.
HYBRID Format
It is possible to record video in HD and SD formats
simultaneously. When the built-in down-converter of the
connected HDV camcorder is active, SD images can be
recorded on non-linear media while HD images are
recorded to tape.
Alternatively, you can use high-quality uncompressed
Linear-PCM audio format data in a DV fi le instead of
compressed audio in HDV material. It is possible to integrate
HDV video with Linear-PCM audio on a timeline of
HDV-compatible NLE (non-linear editing) software.

HYBRID Media
HYBRID recording allows you to use two different types of
recording media at one time. The tape and non-linear media
provide backup for each other.
HYBRID Workflow
Tape is still one of the most reliable storage media. HYBRID
recording with the HVR-MRC1K or HVR-DR60 allows you to
keep the master source tape in a safe place, while having
a movie fi le for streamlined NLE work. You can have both at
one time in a single workfl ow.
