Overview

 

 

The HVR-DR60 records HDV, DVCAM, and DV formats directly to its internal 60GB drive, offering up to 4.5 hours of continuous HDV recording or 6 hours in DV.

Footage transfers instantly to your computer via USB or FireWire, eliminating tape capture time and reducing wear on your camera’s tape mechanism.

 

The recorder mounts to the side of Sony HDV camcorders or can be used standalone via FireWire.

 

A bright LCD shows recording mode, remaining time, battery info, and status indicators for absolute reliability in the field.
