Overview
Smart, Easy and Dependable Video Disc Drives
DV Bank is the industry-standard, stand-alone solution that allows video
professionals to capture digital video (DV) content directly to a high
performance disk drive-based system while shooting or anytime afterwards.
Once your video is captured on the DV Bank, it can be quickly and easily
accessed in a non-linear fashion for in-field review and logging. DV Bank’s
FireWire (IEEE-1394) interface allows direct capture from Digital camcorders,
VTR’s or mixers. With its simple and dependable VTR-style controls, the DV
Bank is very easy to use and integrates seamlessly with your existing studio
and location equipment.
Smarter and easier than ordinary computer interfaced drives, DV Bank
FireWire DV Recorder is an advanced hard drive video recorder/editor with
sophisticated interface capability. DV Bank has a built in special purpose
processor for all user controls and management and utilizes at 120 Gigabyte
hard disc drive giving you 9 hours of DV storage time. DV Bank is smart, works
equally well with both Mac’s and PC’s and includes PC/1394 edit software
(contact our Support Staff for Mac software availability).
DV Bank’s innovative processor completely integrates all system and
communication functions providing unprecedented “instant-on” service,
eliminating the frustrating computer boot-up time lag that’s typical of
computer-dependant devices. This integrated approach also eliminates
compatibility issues with external hard drives, special holders and other
accessories.
Significantly, DV Bank’s proprietary processor also manages hard disk
functions more reliably than computer-driven storage systems. It’s exactly
what every video pro is looking for…the smart, easy and dependable choice.
