Overview
Integrated architecture to the camcorder
•The body is small and light with a weight of about 130 g and connects directly to a camcorder without a cable to provide camcorder mobility. Power is supplied from the camcorder so no additional battery is required; weight and size have thus been minimized. The power-saving design also enables longer recording time.
•The operational status such as operating mode, remaining CompactFlash capacity or recording format, etc. can be checked on the LCD screen of the camcorder. Not having to check the unit itself means you can concentrate more on what you are shooting.
•The camcorder used with this unit can output a record command without a tape inserted. This synchronizes the unit to the REC/STOP operation of the camcorder and so audio and video can be recorded on the CompactFlash unit only. A loop recording mode is also available which enables you to record repeatedly.
Supported models
•This unit can be connected to a camcorder via a special interface.
•Refer to the supplied “Guide to supported models and their functions” for details on supported models when connecting via an i.LINK terminal.
Recording on small, light and highly versatile CompactFlash
•CompactFlash used as recording media
•CompactFlash is less subject to strong vibration or high altitude and are highly resistant to impact such as being dropped. This enables recording in a wide range of environments.
•A highly versatile CompactFlash media (16GB) enables about 1 hour and 12 minutes of recording of an HDV/ DVCAM/DV stream.
•Connecting the unit to a computer via a commercial CompactFlash reader allows faster data transfer to the computer than when using a tape. The data transfer time depends on the specifications of the CompactFlash media and CompactFlash reader.
Can also connect to the HVRA-CR1 i.LINK cradle
•The unit can be connected to a computer or camcorder via the HVRA-CR1 i.LINK cradle.
•The unit operates with a battery or AC adaptor via the HVRA-CR1 i.LINK cradle, which enables you to record in a wide range of environments.
•This unit has two operating modes, VIDEO mode and COMPUTER mode. The mode is automatically selected depending on which device is connected. The unit independently outputs playback video to the i.LINK interface.
•VIDEO mode is for recording and playback an HDV/ DVCAM/DV stream via the i.LINK terminal of the camcorder.
•COMPUTER mode enables the unit to be recognized as an external drive when connected to a computer via an i.LINK terminal. This mode enables high-speed data transfer.

Recording images
(POWER switch at the ON side)
The different methods of recording are as follows:
xRecording video simultaneously on this unit and a camcorder
xRecording on this unit during camcorder tape replacement
xRecording video from this unit
xOperating cache recording
xOperating interval recording
xOperating loop recording
Notes
•A 0 KB file may be created, but the file cannot be opened because it does not have video data. Do not delete the 0 KB file on your computer. If you do, this clip cannot be played back.
•When changing the tape, the audio may mute on some camcorder models. At the recorded part, only video is recorded.
•When HDV recording with this unit, if you start the tape recording with the camcorder, the i.LINK output stream is cut for about 0.5 seconds, so when that video is recorded onto this unit, it is the cut form. In this case, the file will be separated before and after changing the tape recording started.
•The file will be separated automatically every time the recording time of one clip over about 20 minutes but this clip is operated as a same clip.
•If the i.LINK cable is disconnected or the power of the connecting device turned off during recording, recording stops but the data recorded until that point is recorded.
•If the power of this unit is turned off by battery exhaustion or mistakenly sliding the POWER switch, the data recorded until the power off is detected is recorded on a CompactFlash in this unit.
•If the battery pack is removed or the jack of the AC adaptor disconnected during recording, the folder information at the moment the power goes off may not be written correctly.
•The interval recording operation of the camcorder is not timed, so operations are not guaranteed.
•Do not switch the audio mode of the camcorder while recording. Depending on the PC application, there may not be any audio.
xRecording video simultaneously on this unit and a camcorder
–Connecting to a camcorder with an “external REC control” function (SYNCHRO mode)
