Memory Recording for Professionals Efficiency and Operability on Readily Available Memory Cards The HXR-NX5U is also the first Sony professional camcorder designed to record directly onto consumer memory cards. These cards are affordable and easy to find. This general versatility is especially handy when a user suddenly needs extra memory - something that happens quite often when shooting a documentary or news report on the move. Also, memory cards are very compact and easy to handle. Many devices can accept these memory cards allowing easy playback. Files can be copied from a memory card to any available computer, instantly backing up valuable data. Another benefit is that memory cards can be easily and cost-effectively reused.

Relay Record with Dual Memory Slots Another new feature is continuous recording between two memory card slots. The new HXR-NX5U camcorder automatically cycles between the dual memory slots. When using two, 32-GB memory cards, six hours of continuous HD footage can be recorded. If a longer continuous recording time is required, the user simply waits until the first card is full and recording has relayed to the second card, before ejecting the first card and inserting a new blank memory card. This procedure can be repeated as required, extending continuous recording for a sufficiently long time. Three Major Advantages of Memory Recording 1. Easy Viewing of Recorded Footage The major benefit of this memory recording system is its instant search capability for recorded clips using thumbnail images. This speeds up logging and editing work, which is ideal in fast-paced environments. Having the ability to access clips randomly will make production staff much happier and far more efficient. 2. Fast Ingestion to a Computer Users can simply pop out a memory card and plug it into most computer's memory card reader slot (or use a USB2.0-type memory card reader) to upload files. This is likely to take less time than the actual length of recorded footage, so more time can be spent shooting. Users are secure in the knowledge that editing deadlines will be met, thanks to this efficient new approach to digital video production. *The uploading time will depend on the computer's specification. 3. Easy Playback Affordable consumer memory media are already used in many consumer electronic devices, and more are to come. Recorded footage can be instantly played back using these devices.
