Datavideo HD/SD SDI HDD Recorder HDR-40

The Datavideo HDR-40 DV/HDV Recorder/Player is a rack mountable digital video recorder and player designed to record in NTSC DV and HDV over SDI and HDMI, all to a 250GB hard drive that's housed in a special enclosure that removes easily from the recorder/player. The unit can record up to 18 hours of continuous footage without a hitch, saving both time and money.

The HDR-40 itself has a FireWire connection for direct offloading of files to a computer, or you can remove the drive enclosure and connect it to a computer via its USB or eSATA connections. The HDR-40 comes with one enclosure that has a 250 GB 2.5" drive and one empty drive enclosure that can accept the installation of any 2.5" hard drive (not included).

Gone are the days of a costly tape-based workflow, which usually wastes hours of valuable time logging and capturing. Simply hook the HDR-40 to your computer, drag and drop into your non-linear editing workstation and voila, ready-to-edit footage at your fingertips. The unit comes equipped with RS-422 remote capability and is compatible with both the Mac and PC.
