HVRA-CR1 cradle, cold-shoe adaptors and an i.LINK cable. Extremely compact and lightweight, the

HVR-MRC1 can be mounted on a HDV™/DVCAM™ camcorder, thereby converting it to a ‘HYBRID’ recording system with CompactFlash

®

solid-state memory and tape. It allows the user to record video on a tape and

CompactFlash (CF) card simultaneously.

The widely available CF card can be used to offer secure recording, removable media convenience, high durability against external vibration, and high-speed fi le transfer to a computer. It is possible to record for about 72 minutes on a 16-GB CF card.

The Sony HVR-DR60 Hard Disk Recording Unit offers the same HYBRID concept for improving the production process. The HVR-DR60 has a 60-GB HDD which offers a longer recording time of approximately 4.5 hours (270 minutes) in HDV, DVCAM, or DV recording formats.

There are several very important benefi ts of HYBRID recording.

HYBRID Format: Simultaneous HD and SD recording

- HD on tape and SD on non-tape media -

HYBRID Media: Use of a tape and non-linear recording media

- For reliable backup recording -

HYBRID Workfl ow: Files for quick editing and tape for archiving

– For today’s production and HD value in the future -

The HVR-MRC1K and HVR-DR60 open up a world of possibilities for digital video production. Whether it’s for documentaries, mainstream news, low-budget movies, music videos, Internet, education, or a wide range of industrial applications, Sony’s HYBRID solutions are ideal.

HYBRID Recording

The HVR-MRC1K and HVR-DR60 provide a HYBRID recording capability by which images are recorded to tape and non-linear media simultaneously.

HYBRID Format

It is possible to record video in HD and SD formats simultaneously. When the built-in down-converter of the connected HDV camcorder is active, SD images can be recorded on non-linear media while HD images are recorded to tape.

Alternatively, you can use high-quality uncompressed

Linear-PCM audio format data in a DV fi le instead of compressed audio in HDV material. It is possible to integrate

HDV video with Linear-PCM audio on a timeline of

HDV-compatible NLE (non-linear editing) software.

HYBRID Media

HYBRID recording allows you to use two different types of recording media at one time. The tape and non-linear media provide backup for each other.

HYBRID Workflow

A tape is still one of the most reliable storage media. HYBRID recording with the HVR-MRC1K or HVR-DR60 allows you to keep the master source tape in a safe place, while having a movie fi le for streamlined NLE work. You can have both at one time in a single workfl ow.

File Type

For HDV1080i recording

M2T file

This is a file created by the HVR-MRC1 or

HVR-DR60. It has the file extension “.M2T”. The video, audio and auxiliary data are contained in an MPEG2-TS file format. The file conforms to the

HDV1080i specification in which MPEG-2 MP@

H-14 is used for its video codec and either MPEG-1

Audio Layer2 (for 2 ch) or MPEG-2 Audio Layer2

(for 4 ch) is used for the audio codec.

For DVCAM and DV recording

There are two options for DVCAM/DV file recording:

AVI file (DV type1)

This file has the extension “.AVI”, and can be played by the standard movie player software of both Windows

®

and Macintosh

®

operating systems.

Using this file type for DVCAM/DV recording is useful because it is compatible with many types of application software.

Raw DV file

You can also choose this file type for DVCAM/DV recording, if needed. It has the file extension “.DV”, and contains raw DVCAM or DV data This file type can be played back via the QuickTime Player on the Macintosh

®

operating system.

A compatible player may be needed for playback on the Windows

®

operating system.

HVR-DR60

Hard Disk Recording Unit

The HVR-DR60 is an optional hard disk recording unit for Sony’s professional HDV™ and DVCAM™ camcorders. Via a simple i.LINK cable connection, the HVR-DR60 can record HDV, DVCAM, or DV streams from the camcorder and store them as video files. The internal hard disk drive (HDD) offers a large capacity of

60 GB, which translates into a long recording time of approximately

4.5 hours (270 minutes) for HDV, DVCAM, and

DV formats. Images can even be recorded to HDD and tape simultaneously.

HVR-DR60

FAT32 File System

The HVR-MRC1 and HVR-DR60 use FAT32 for their file system. Thanks to FAT32, your Windows

®

or

Macintosh

®

computer can recognize the recording media as an external drive without having to install any driver software. The maximum recording file size allowed with FAT32 is approximately 4 GB, which provides a recording time of around 20 minutes. Should your recording exceed this, the subsequent footage will be recorded as a separate new file. However, the Sony Recording

Unit Utility software and compatible NLE software can connect the divided M2T files so they can be edited precisely in your NLE as a single file without any pauses.

Camcorder Batteries

The HVR-DR60 uses the same infoLITHIUM

TM

L Series batteries as the HVR-Z7N/P, HVR-Z5N/P and

HVR-V1N/P camcorders. With the smallest capacity NP-F570 battery, the HVR-DR60 can run continuously up to 5.5 hours (330 min), and with the largest capacity NP-F970, this increases up to 18 hours (1080 min). Long operating hours are offered using the same camcorder batteries HDV operators already have at hand.

HDD Smart Protection

– Robust Recording and Shock Resistance

Three advanced technologies are used in the HVR-DR60 to provide reliable recording performance:

3G

Sensor

Shock

Absorber

HDD Smart

Protection

Buffer

Memory

✜

1) Rubber shock absorbers hold the

HDD unit in place, helping to prevent external shock from being transmitted when the HVR-DR60 chassis is subject to impact.

Shock Absorbers

2) A 3G sensor detects gravitational acceleration in three dimensions, so the HVR-DR60 may be oriented, the sensor can detect if it has been dropped. Should this occur, power to the HDD is shut off and the recording heads are retracted from the disk platter, pausing read/write operations.

This helps protect the HDD from being damaged when the unit is accidentally dropped and subject to strong impact.

3G sensor

3) A buffer memory can store approximately 14 seconds of video and audio footage. Recordings are made by first writing the data to the buffer, and then writing the buffer data to the disk platter.

Consequently, if the 3G sensor temporarily interrupts disk writes, video footage is not lost.

Thanks to such advanced technologies, the

HVR-DR60 should continue to record stably even when dropped from as high as 100 cm

(39 3/8 inches) (based on Sony's testing).

User-free Area

The HVR-DR60 has a user-free area of approximately 1 GB in the hard disk, where common data files such as still images and project files of nonlinear editing systems can be stored.

✜

File Name and Folder Structure

The HVR-DR60 creates a folder (e.g., “100HDVF”) when recording begins, and stores recorded video within it as a movie file (e.g., “HDV10001.M2T”).

Any subsequent files divided FAT32, are stored in the same folder (e.g., “HDV10002.M2T”).

When a new recording is made, a new folder

(e.g., “101HDVF”) is created and a new file

(e.g., “10101.M2T”) is stored within it.

Sony Recording Unit Utility

This software can be downloaded from Sony’s website free of charge. It allows you to transfer the files on your HVR-DR60 and CF card to your Windows-based PC with ease. It can connect M2T files, that were divided by FAT32, back together, and it will rename HVR-DR60 files to the same style as those from a CF card during transfer.

Overview of the functions

File transfer

The HVR-DR60 creates a folder (e.g., “100HDVF”) when recording begins, and the recorded video is stored in that folder as a movie file (e.g., “HDV10001.

M2T”). When a new recording is made, a new folder (e.g., “101HDVF”) is created and a new file

(e.g., “10101.M2T”) is stored within it.

You can then transfer all of these decentralized files to one specified folder on the HDD of your PC, quickly and easily with this utility software. You don’ t need to open each folder to import the movie files to your NLE project; simply select the folders where your files are stored and the software will automatically find the files and transfer them.

M2T File connection

The HVR-MRC1 and HVR-DR60 uses FAT32 for its file system. Thanks to FAT32, your PC can recognize the

HVR-DR60 as an external drive without needing to install any driver software.

The maximum recording file size allowed with FAT32 is approximately 4GB, which provides a recording time of around 20 minutes. Should your HDV recording exceed this, the subsequent footage will be recorded as a new file stored within the same folder.

The software connects these divided .M2T files together during transfer so they can be edited precisely in your NLE as a single file without any pauses.

*DV files are not connected because the divided DV files can be edited precisely in your NLE.

File name change

For the HVR-DR60, the software automatically changes the name of the transferred file, in line with the following format:

“xx_nnnn_YYYY-MM-DD_HHMMSS”.

xx:

This is a two-digit number (00 – 99) that you can set, which is useful for avoiding the duplication of file names when using multiple HVR-DR60 units.

nnnn:

These numbers corresponded to the original folder name.

YYYY-MM-DD_HHMMSS:

These numbers refer to the date and time of the recording (setup value of the camcorder).
