Datavideo DN-500 DV/HDV Recorder/Player
The Datavideo DN-500 is a rack mountable digital video recorder and player designed to record in DV and HDV. The unit can record up to 18 hours of continuous footage without a hitch, saving both time and money. Gone are the days of a costly tape-based workflow, which usually wastes hours of valuable time logging and capturing. Simply hook the DN-500 to your non-linear editing workstation and, voila--ready-to-edit footage at your fingertips.
- Rack Mountable
- The DN-500 is a rack mountable version of the DN-400 taking up only 1RU in any standard 19" system. The unit is ideal for small studios and editing workstations.
- Interchangeable Drives
- The deck uses a specially designed 250GB interchangeable drive, making it easier to capture large volumes of footage without having to dump to an external storage device before reusing. Simply pop out the full disc and throw in another!
- Native DV and HDV Support
- The DN-500 has been built to meet the growing demand of high definition videography. The unit has complete native support for the HDV format as well as being capable of legacy recording of standard DV.
- Loop Playback
- The DN-500 can be used in promotion applications by using loop playback. The feature allows users to loop video clips seamlessly, making it ideal for commercial environments.
- NLE Support
- The recorder supports most non-linear editors, including Apple Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro and Avid. Dragging footage onto your timeline couldn't be easier! Just drag and drop files from the drive to your computer (PC or Mac) in seconds.

Comments about Datavideo DN-500 DV/HDV Recorder/Player:
This recorder does everything it promises. It feels nice and solid, it came with all teh cables and a spare disk caddy. And even with advice which disk to put in the spare caddy.
My use is long format conference recording, we're just about to do a 5 day 7 simultaneous session event. This recorder means we can now reduce our tape purchases.
Analog in and out means no need for an analog to DV bridge. And being HDV it means we can move towards more HDV aquisition at conferences.
I would give 5 stars, but the external power pack, was the only negative. The power pack woprks for both 110 and 230V systems. It just would have been nice to be an integral power unit.
