The Datavideo HDR-40 is a hard drive based video recorder, with removable hard drive enclosure, designed for studio desktop applications. The HDR-40 records from both Standard and High Definition video equipment via SDI, with HDMI output, and convenient SDI loop through. The recorders provide a choice of 1080i, 720p, 576i and 480i recording formats. In HD with a choice of IBP or Intra-frame (i frame), and in SD IBP.
The recorded .M2T files are compatible with a wide range of NLE and play out solutions on the market, and once the recording have completed, the hard drive carrier simply ejects and via USB-2 connects to a PC or MAC based NLE system, (USB 2.0 power provided). Work directly from the removable drive, or copy video files across to the NLE's video drives. The remote control interface includes RS-422, RS-232 and GPI for easy integration with other equipment.

Q: How many hard drive enclosures does HDR-40/50 come with? Can I purchase hard drive enclosures separately?
A: HDR-40/50 comes with two hard drive enclosures, but with only one hard drive installed in an enclosure. You can purchase hard drive enclosures separately and the part number is HDD25.
Q: Do you recommend any certain brands or specifications on which hard drive to use with this recorder?
A: Yes, we recommend the following predications for the drive: 7200rpm 8MB buffer 2.5" SATA HDD. Datavideo has tested Hitachi, Western Digital, Fujitsu for use with our DN series recorders. We do not recommend Seagate hard drives with our recorders.
Q: Can I replace my 250GB HDD with a larger HDD?
A: Yes, you can replace it with a larger HDD (up to 750GB and must be 2.5” high). Hard drives that are larger than 750GB have a larger height, which will not fit inside the enclosure for the DN-400/500 and HDR-40/50.
Q: If the input signal is a HD-SDI source, can we still record SD video files on this recorder?
A: No, the recorder does NOT down convert or up convert the single source between HD or SD.
Q: What is the maximum height of the hard drive that will fit inside the enclosure?
A: 11.6 mm is the maximum height of the hard drive that will fit inside the enclosure.
Q: The Final Cut Pro does not natively support the .m2t files. How can I convert .m2t files to use with Final Cut Pro?
A: You can use a program like, Streamclip to convert the .m2t files.
Q: Which NLE software applications can read .m2t files natively?
A: Here is a list of Non Linear Editors which support .m2t files:
Adobe Premiere CS3 or higher, Sony Vegas 8 or higher, Vegas Movie Studio 9 Platinum, Grass Valley Edius, Avid Media Composer and Pinnacle Studio 12 or higher
