Datavideo DN-500 HDV, DV, ANALOG Hard Drive Recorder
The DN-500 video recorder allows for file-based tapeless solutions that save you hours of capturing time. The DN-500 comes with a 250GB removable hard drive installed in an enclosure (additional enclosures/hard drives are available). Once you have completed your recording, simply eject the hard drive enclosure, and use the USB 2.0 port to connect to a PC or MAC based NLE system, (no power supply required, as USB provides power, so it's perfect to use with laptops in the field). You can work directly from the removable drive, or copy video files to your NLE’s video drives.
