Darim connection
For small broadcasters, corporate studios, and others, as DDR prices drop, it makes sense to replace outdated VTRs. However, make sure the digital recorder you choose integrates with other production and post gear. Darim ensures this by incorporating Sony RS422 protocol into its MPEG-2 based B-DVR. Adding this serial port connection standard to its latest version DDR means it can operate with standard editing suites as well as any NLE offering RS422 support. While the B-DVR sports a low price, it still features a hot-swappable hard drive, clip management utilities, and a compact size that makes it a good choice for tight editing spaces or location production.
