The HVO-550MD stores HD or Standard Definition video on its high-capacity internal hard disk drive. Via simple menu selection, video can be recorded at the same time to an external USB drive or network server, or burned directly to the recorder’s internal DVD drive. This simultaneous recording capability saves time, eliminating the need to export or copy video files to another storage medium after recording. It also provides an extra safeguard against the risk of losing valuable data.

To minimize the risks of accidental data loss, video files can be recorded onto the internal hard disk drive simultaneously with a DVD, a connected USB drive or a network server. This also helps to shorten workflow, since videos do not need to be exported or copied onto another device after being recorded onto the internal HDD.

The recorder’s high-capacity disk drive allows long video recordings without interruption, even in High Definition. A choice of three Image Quality settings (Standard/High/Best) permits between 60 and 194 hours of HD video recording (or between 158 and 348 hours of SD video). Each individual recording can be up to 24 hours long. Videos can be exported as either high quality AVCHD or PC-friendly MP4 files.

Video files can be burned permanently onto the recorder’s internal optical disc drive (DVD-R) for convenient storage and longer-term archive.
