Connecting to a Computer

Files that have been recorded onto the HDR-45 can be transferred directly to a PC or MAC via the IEEE-1394 (iLink,
FireWire) port.
The files appear in the root directory of the HDR-45 hard disk, and are numbered with the track number that appears
in the LCD display when you are recording or playing back the track.
The HDR-45 uses a FAT32 file structure, so large tracks are broken down into 2 GB files which are sequentially
named:
For example if Track 02 is 1 hour in duration it will appear as follows:
hdv02.m2t (2 GB)
hdv02_01.m2t (2 GB)
hdv02_02.m2t (2 GB)
hdv02_03.m2t (2 GB)
hdv02_04.m2t (2 GB)
hdv02_05.m2t (2 GB)
hdv02_06.m2t (77 MB) -
Once transferred to a PC / MAC files can be dropped onto a timeline, in a suitable NLE application, and they will
playback seamlessly.
