Chapter 2 Connections and Controls

Power Bank IN

2.1 Rear Panel

DC IN
DC in socket connects the supplied 12V / 6W PSU. The connection can be secured by screwing the outer fastening ring of the DC In plug to the socket.
Connect an external portable USB power supply to POWER BANK IN port. The connected external portable USB power supply will start to provide power to the HDR-1 when the DC power supply fails.
The HDR-1 with the USB thumb drive plugged in requires approximately 1000mA of current. Ideally, if the power bank capacity is 1000mAh, it should be able to last for 1 hour when the DC power is disconnected from the HDR-
1. However, some of the charge is lost in the transfer of power so the real capacity is less than the listed capacity and the power bank should last less than an hour.
When connecting the DC power and the power bank at the same time, the Power Bank IN port will drain the power bank at a rate of 100mAh. Ideally, if the power bank capacity is 1000mAh, the power bank should be able to sustain the device operation for 10 hours. However, some of the charge is lost in the transfer of power so the real capacity is less than the listed capacity and the power bank should last less than 10 hours.
9
Warning: The power bank is mainly used for emergency
power supply and sustains the device operation in the event of unexpected DC power loss. The power bank, however, is not used for powering the HDR-1 recording. Hence, when the DC power is disconnected, the power button LED will then start flashing red and as the flashing gets faster, it means the Power Bank IN port starts to drain your power bank at a faster rate. You should either try to reconnect the DC power or stop recording to avoid file corruption before the power is cut unexpectedly.
Note: Files will be corrupted if recording is interrupted due to unexpected power outage.
GPI Input
GPI input accepts external control signal to trigger Start/Stop recording.
Note: Please use Pulse Trigger only.
RS-232 Communication Port
RS-232 communication port accepts external control signal.
HDMI Input and Output Port
HDMI digital video input and output port.
Note: While the recording is in progress, if the HDMI input is disconnected, the recording will stop. After the input is reconnected and restored, the HDR-1 will start to record again, but the audio and video of the content recorded will become out of sync.

2.2 Front Panel

USB Port
and devices with more than 2TB capacity.
Connects external USB storage device. Note: it is recommended to use SD card or USB thumb drive. If recording to a thumb drive,
please use a USB 3.0 thumb drive and make sure the thumb drive’s write speed is at least 45 MB/s.
Note: The performance of “thumb drives” varies. Many of these devices are optimized for “read” operations, while the HDR-1 requires sustained “write” capabilities. For best results, especially at higher recording data rates, powered USB drives are recommended.
If portable hard disk is used, we recommend hard drives with at least 500G capacity.
Note: The max. output load of USB port is 5V/0.2A, which is only sufficient to power the “USB thumb drive (0.2A),” so an external power supply or adapter will be required to power the portable hard disk (HDD/SSD) in order to work with the HDR-1.
The HDR-1 only supports MBR disk (GPT disk is not supported). Please format your disk to NTFS file system on your PC first and then connect the formatted disk to the HDR-1. We recommend “HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool” which can be downloaded from the link
http://download.cnet.com/HP-USB-Disk-Storage­Format-Tool/3000-2094_4-10974082.html.
Recommended hard drives are listed as follows: Toshiba V63700-B 750G USB 3.0 I-O DATA HDPC-CUT500S 500G USB3.0 WD WDBBEP0010BBK-01 1T USB3.0 WD WDBY8L0020BBK-01 2T USB3.0
Note: The HDR-1 does NOT support USB Hubs, FAT format, NAS,

Power Button Press to power ON the device.
Note: When the DC power is disconnected while the power bank is connected to the Power Bank IN port, the power button LED will start flashing red.
