HVR-DR60 Hard Disk Recording Unit
Mountable on Sony HDV and DVCAM camcorders,
the HVR-DR60 Hard Disk Recording Unit can streamline
the entire production process.
Long Recording Time of 4.5 Hours
Via its i.LINK connection, the HVR-DR60 Hard Disk Recording
Unit developed by Sony allows recording of HDV 1080i signals
from a compatible HDV camcorder, or DV signals from a
compatible DVCAM camcorder. The internal 1.8-inch hard
disk drive (HDD) offers a large capacity of 60 GB, which
translates into a long recording time of 4.5 hours (270 minutes)
for both formats.
HDV 1080i signals are recorded as native HDV files (.m2t)*
while DVCAM or DV signals are recorded as DV-AVI (type1)*
or RAW-DV* 14 files.
HDV Files Stored on the HVR-DR60 Displayed
on a PC Monitor
* 14 During playback, interruptions in video may appear between
recordings. These interruptions do not occur after the recordings are
copied to an i.LINK compatible nonlinear editor system via the i.LINK connection,
and the recordings can be correctly edited. For information
on compatible nonlinear editors, please contact your nearest Sony office
or authorized dealer.

Hybrid Operation for
Reliable Recording and Archiving
The HVR-DR60 offers a hybrid recording function, in which video
and audio material is recorded simultaneously to the hard disk
and tape, limiting the possibility that important shots could get
lost or accidentally deleted. This hybrid function also facilitates
instant archiving of source footage – which in many cases does
not allow for retakes. After a shoot, operators can immediately
archive the source tape and use the HVR-DR60 material as work
14 ,
footage. This saves the time and effort required to copy the
14
original data to a separate high-capacity medium.
