HVR-Z7U and HVR-S270U Common Features Memory Recording Unit ✜ HDV in IT Workflow by CompactFlash Memory Recording Unit The Memory Recording Unit is supplied with each camcorder to support HDV tape recording. It captures the HDV1080i, DVCAM, or DV stream output from the camcorder and records it as movie file while you are simultaneously recording to tape. You can use a standard CompactFlash (CF) card*, which offers secure recording, high-speed access, large data capacity, removable media convenience, and high durability against external vibration. *Not supplied. The CF card is used for HDV camcorders because the media is easily obtainable for file recording in the same way as miniDV tape is easily obtainable for HDV recording. This general versatility is very important for those who frequently need to obtain media quickly, such as someone shooting a documentary or news reports while moving from city to city. ✜ HDV/DVCAM/DV File Recording on Easily Obtained CompactFlash Card The recording time on a 16-GB CF card*9 in HDV, DVCAM and DV format*10 is approximately 72 minutes.
