DATAVIDEO DN-60 FIELD RECORDER


DN-60 Field Recorder

Compact Flash Recorder for DV/HDV Video

 
Datavideo’s DN-60 field recorder utilizes the latest solid state technology of removable and high capacity CF memory cards. Recording times are far longer than traditional tape, there are no drop-outs and using Datavideo’s Direct to Timeline technology, you will speed up the process from acquisition to editing, thanks to file transfer, rather than traditional capturing. The new technology provides hours of continuous high definition recordings; enables the advantage of a tapeless acquisition in even the toughest environments.

The DN-60 is powered by using 4 traditional or rechargeable AA batteries. Depending on the type of batteries utilized; a standard AA battery should offer approximately 2 hours of continuous recording. DN-60 offers connections directly to DV or HDV camcorders via a single Firewire cable. The DN-60 is lightweight and easy to mount to camcorders. It is perfect for news gathering, location shoots, security systems, scientific and medical recording.
