Product Description

Manufacturer Description

Manufacturer Description Introducing the DR-HD100, the disk recorder designed for the JVC' ProHD camcorders. Now you can take advantage of tapeless acquisition with true Direct To Edit (DTE) Technology and confidence recording using this compact, removable module. The DR-HD100 interfaces with your JVC ProHD camcorder using a single IEEE-1394 cable that passes audio, video, timecode and control information. When a tape is present, each press of start and stop on your camera's record button will create an individual clip on the disk. The DR-HD100 features a comprehensive backlit display, menu system and buttons allowing easy control and management. Additionally, with the JVC's ProHD cameras you can monitor the DR-HD100 time code and disk space remaining in the viewfinder. You can preview clips in the camera's viewfinder or LCD monitor using the DR-HD100's playback mode.

DTE technology means that DR-HD100 files are recorded in the HDV/DV editing system's native file format. This means no capturing, no file transfer and no rendering. Files can be used instantly with the most popular applications from Adobe, Apple, Avid, Canopus, Pinnacle and many more.

Robust Storage and Management The DR-HD100 comes with a 60GB hard drive for 4.5 hours (about 6 hours of 720p) of recording time and or 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.

Product Update DR-HD100 QuickTime HDV Support Upgrade is Available Now. With the DR-HD100 v2.2.1 firmware upgrade, JVC GY-HD110, HD200 and HD250 series camcorder owners can record 720p/30,25 and 24 clips in the native QuickTime HDV file format. QuickTime HDV clips can be imported directly into Apple Final Cut Pro without the need for capture or conversion first.

This review is from: JVC DR-HD100GB100 HD 100GB Portable DTE Recorder for ProHD Camcorders (Electronics)

Perfect for back up copies, redundancy and multi hour constant shooting. Works with both Mac and PC, allows for timelapse shooting, but overall gives the peace of mind to know that you have a back up in case of tape dropouts ect.

A perfect solution in a world that is increasingly tapeless. Even upconverts to 1080i. Solid, well built and well supported. lightweight and easily mountable. Can be powered by Anton bauer batteries on pro configurations. Really is a great little box.
