Weighing less than one pound and only 1.5 inches thick, the DR-HD100 Portable DTE Recorder brings Direct To Edit® recording technology to your HDV camcorder. Whether it's mounted directly to your JVC GY-HD110 or HD200/250 ProHD series camcorder or clipped to your belt, the DR-HD100 is designed to excel in the field. Overview The DR-HD100 interfaces with your JVC GY-HD110 or HD200/250 ProHD series camcorder using a single FireWire cable that passes audio, video, timecode, and control information, allowing you to simultaneously record to disk and tape in HDV or DV mode. It also provides a comprehensive backlit display, menu system, and buttons to give you easy control and management. Robust Storage and Management The DR-HD100 comes standard with a 60GB hard drive for 4.5 hours (about 6 hours of 720p) of recording time and is available with a 100GB hard drive for 7.5 hours (about 10 hours of 720p). You can also extend recording time by linking multiple DR-HD100 units together. A 10-second electronic shock cache ensures that you never lose footage, even in the roughest of conditions. And the DR-HD100 makes it easy to categorize clips by placing them in prenamed folders on the disk while you shoot. Nonlinear Editing System Compatibility No matter which nonlinear editing (NLE) system you have, the DR-HD100 has you covered. When in DV mode, files are recorded to disk as RawDV, AVI Type 1, AVI Type 2, AVI Type 2 24p, Matrox AVI, Canopus AVI, QuickTime, QuickTime 24p, Avid OMF, Pinnacle AVI or MXF. In HD mode, 720p clips are recorded as M2T (720p24, 25, 30, 50 or 60) files or QuickTime HDV (720p24, 25 or 30). When working with DV clips, simply connect the JVC DR-HD100 to your Mac or PC editing system in the same way you would connect a FireWire hard disk drive and you are instantly ready to edit. No capturing, no file transfer, no file conversion. Just shoot and edit. When working in HD mode, you?re able to work with a growing list of compatible NLE systems. Perfect for the Field With a removable, rechargeable battery and advanced features such as time lapse*, retro disk recording, and scene marking, the DR-HD100 Portable DTE Recorder is the perfect DTE companion for handheld shoots. When used with specific GY-HD110 or HD200/250 ProHD series camcorders, the DR-HD100 even offers multiple control modes from the camcorder, status in the camcorder?s viewfinder, and special control modes. When on location, the power, flexibility, and field upgradability of the DR-HD100 make it second to none.
