Datavideo’s DN-60A is a portable, camera-mounted, card-based recorder that captures video in a range of formats including HDV, DV and DVCPro50. The Datavideo DN-60A connects directly to your existing DV or HDV camcorder via a single FireWire cable.
The Datavideo DN-60A utilizes the latest solid state technology of removable and high-capacity CF memory cards, providing hours of continuous high definition recordings, enabling you to take advantage of tapeless acquisition in even the toughest environments. Using Datavideo’s Direct to Timeline technology, you will speed up the process from acquisition to editing, thanks to file transfer, rather than traditional capturing.
The DN-60A is powered using four AA batteries. Also included is an external power supply.
