Optional Accessories PXU-MS240 Mobile Storage Unit PXU-HC240 HDD Cartridge The PXU-MS240 is a hard disk drive (HDD)-based highcapacity storage device enabling reliable and fast offloading of SxS content, while in the field, without the need for a computer. (as it relates to PXU products, change PC to computer universally since it works with both PC & Macs). Capacity can be added by replacing the removable PXU-HC240 HDD cartridge. As well as USB 2.0, the unit supports the very high-speed eSATA interface effective for data transfer to, or direct editing with, a computer. High-capacity Storage The user simply attaches the supplied HDD cartridge to the PXU-MS240 slot. This cartridge offers a large 240-GB capacity, storing approximately 800 minutes in HQ mode and 1,040 minutes in SP mode. High-speed Data Backup of SxS Memory Card Data on SxS memory cards can be fully backed up simply by inserting a card in the PXU-MS240 slot and pressing the copy button. The maximum transfer speed from an SxS memory card to an HDD cartridge is approximately 600 Mbps, and it takes approximately ten minutes to copy 32 GB of data. Since data verification occurs during copying, an SxS memory card can be wiped for re-use after Data off-load/backup. Versatile Interfaces To review PXU-MS240 clips on any XDCAM EX camcorder's LCD, simply use the supplied PHU cable to connect the PXU-MS240 USB terminal to the camcorder's SxS memory card slot*1. For fast data transfer, connect the PXU-MS240 to a PC via a third-party eSATA cable. It takes approximately 60 minutes to transfer up to 240 GB of data, and this function can also be achieved using a USB 2.0 connection with a slightly longer transfer time. Additionally, an HDD cartridge can be connected directly to a computer via the USB 2.0, even in a stand-alone configuration.*2 *1: Please note that it is not possible to record directly from an XDCAM EX camcorder to the PXU-MS240 or PXU-HC240. *2: The HDD cartridge requires an AC adaptor when used without the PXU-MS240. Shock-resistant Mechanism When the three-axis acceleration sensor detects a sudden movement in the PXU-MS240, the HDD head is retracted. This helps to minimize damage to the drive. Additionally, the cartridge is equipped with a newly designed shock absorber to protect the hard disk drive from drop impact.* * This feature cannot guarantee proper functioning and trouble-free operation. OLED Display The OLED display ensures a high level of visibility even for outside use. It indicates mode of operation, battery level, remaining HDD capacity, and copy status.* * Clip review and thumbnail indication are not available. Two-way Powering For outdoor operation, the PXU-MS240 uses a BP-U30 battery - the same battery used in PMW-EX1R and PMW-EX3 camcorders. An AC adaptor is also supplied.
