Open up a new world of application opportunities

Capture directly to HDD/SDD using the EDIROL F-1 Video Field Recorder

Combining the VC-50HD with the EDIROL F-1 Video Field Recorder (Version 2.0) enables direct recording at any supported bitrate (up to 50Mbps) to hard-drive or solid state memory. MPEG-2TS 50Mbps enables higher quality video capture than HDV. Alternatively MPEG-2 TS 8Mbps enables around 27 hours of HD video recording when used with the 120GB HDD.

HD-SDI and HDV Bi-directional Video Copy

Bi-directionally convert between high quality, uncompressed HD-SDI and affordable HD format HDV devices. This is an efficient and flexible system for transfer, production and transcoding applications.

Capture directly and edit using your non-linear editing system

Most non-linear video editing systems support HDV as well as 35/50Mbps MPEG-2 TS data files. Enable higher level quality video production with low overhead.
