XDCAM EX with Compact Flash Recorder at DVinfo.net

Brian Rhodes · February 21st, 2008, 07:16 PM

I tested the XDCAM EX with the Compact Flash Recorder from my HVR-z7
works in SP mode only. I used the bracket from the DR60 to mount it to the EX. See attached pics

Cool. What's the model number of that recorder ?
What type of memory card goes in there ?
And what sort of price is it ?

Steven Thomas · February 21st, 2008, 08:13 PM

I thought the DR60 was hard drive based?

Laurence Kingston · February 21st, 2008, 09:54 PM

How does the SP mode of the EX1 compare to the Z7 footage? I would expect they are pretty close.

Thanks Brian for testing this out! I am purchasing my EX1 Today!

I think this will at least get me recording a full event, until I can get some HDR units.

Brian,

How did you get the french flag on your hood? Did you glue a cold shoe onto it? If so which one - this interests me.

Brian, That is a very elegant solution for your French flag! Great idea!
Also, I too am very interested in that Sony recording unit.
Best, Craig

The CF unit is from my HVR-z7U cam it aslo works with my HC1
HVR-MRC1 Memory Recording Unit Kit . I plan on ordering another one if it is sold seperate from the Z7U

Apparently not...
I've never seen it available.

Since the EX1 records only in HD, not in SD, what dod you mean by "works in SP mode only"?

Tim Lenz · February 23rd, 2008, 08:07 AM

Brian, with the CF writer attached, could you record to both the SxS and the CF at the same time?

Piotr Wozniacki · February 23rd, 2008, 09:02 AM

I'm not Brian, but I'm using the DR60 HDD in a similar fashion, and the answers are:

- in SP only, as in HQ the HDV (i.LINK) output is cutt-off
- yes, you can set recording to i.LINK device alone, or both the SxS and i.LINK simultaneously

Hope this helps.
