Tapeless, file based video acquisition has many advantages over traditional tape. Recording times are far longer, there are no drop-outs and using Datavideo's Direct to Timeline technology, you will speed up the process from acquisition to editing. This thanks to quicker file transfer, rather than slow traditional capturing from tape. The Datavideo DN-60 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.

The Datavideo DN-60 is powered by four traditional or rechargeable AA batteries, a set of batteries provide approximately two hours continuous recording, depending on the type of battery used. Datavideo have also included an external power supply for when you are near a power outlet.

The DN-60 can easily be set up for FAT32 or NTFS file systems; as well as DV PAL, DV NTSC, DVC Pro 25, DVC Pro 50 and HDV (1280x720p or 1440x1080i) also.  The DN 60 connects directly to your existing DV, HDV camcorder or digital IEEE-1394 devise via a single FireWire cable. Use the DN-60’s “sync to tape” feature which automatically powers the recorder on, and synchronises record start/stop with your camera. * The unit can also be set up to record standard definition PAL / NTSC Time Lapse sequences at a variety of intervals, or buffer live video - press record within 8 seconds of an event and you can be confident that you have recorded that must have shot.

Once recorded drag and drop your chosen video files directly to the time-line of your Non-Linear Editing program using popular DV file types such as Microsoft AVI type 2, Canopus AVI, QuickTime MOV and MXF (OP 1A) as well as M2T in HDV mode.  

With this many useful features the DN-60 is ideal for a variety applications within broadcast, education, animation, science, medical, construction and security.

Does the DN-60 work with Canon XH-A1 or XH-G1?

Yes using a Canon XH-A1, with firmware V1.0.0.1 and a Canon XH-G1, firmware V1.0.1.0, does not give any problem in combination with the Datavideo DN-60 ( R1.11). When the DN-60 is set to "Record on Power Up" and Sync to tape" mode, the DN-60 exactly does do what it should do, which is creating a 1:1 copy/ back up of the clips recorded onto the tape inside of the camera.

Does  the DN-60 support the latest  generation of UDMA-7 (max 167 MB/ sec) CF card technology?

The DN-60 can support selected CF cards up to UDMA-6 (max 133MB/ sec).
