Laird's capdiv Direct DV Recorder Now Shipping
March 06, 2003
ount Marion, NY - Laird Telemedia is now shipping its miniature capdiv Direct DV Recorder, designed for videography, ENG, EFP, and field acquisition applications.
Based on Laird's own hard-drive record and playback technology, the portable digital IEEE-1394 (FireWire) tapeless recorder/player provides instant access to recorded material for editing and post-production, the company describes.
The capdiv measures 1.75" high x 4.125" wide by 5.562" deep, and features a direct DV recorder pre-formatted internal hard-disk drive. The system functions as an HDD or as a VTR, complete with front-panel controls for record, play, and pause. When used as a VTR, the capdiv can accept "start" and "stop" record commands automatically from the trigger/record button of any DV camcorder. During shooting, capdiv records video as raw DV content into a proprietary file scheme that allows a virtually unlimited number of clips to be appended.
Operating in HDD mode, the capdiv Direct DV Recorder performs an almost instant conversion of raw DV content into an extended AVI format that can be imported into most NLE systems. NLEs configured with Final Cut Pro or Avid Xpress DV will recognize the capdiv Direct DV Recorder as an external hard drive. As a result, the video content is available instantly and ready for editing right away. Operators also may use the system for archiving purposes, recording to both tape and HDD simultaneously.
