Sony NXCAM Workflows in Apple Final Cut Pro 7
HYBRID Recording with the Sony HXR-FMU128
The Sony HXR-FMU128, an optional flash memory recording unit specially designed for the
HXR-NX5E, mounts to the camcorder without the need for any external cabling. Built around a
128 GB solid state flash memory drive, the HXR-FMU128 offers significantly longer recording
time than a single memory card.
When the HXR-FMU128 is used in conjunction with memory cards, Sony’s unique HYBRID
recording capability is enabled, allowing a combination of HD and SD resolutions to be
recorded simultaneously. The operator is free to choose which resolution is recorded on each
media type, and may even set the camcorder to record to both media types simultaneously.
There are many benefits to HYBRID recording, including:
♦ Edit system ingest time for HD files stored on the HXR-FMU128 is typically faster
than from memory cards.
♦ HD files simultaneously recorded on memory cards provide a time and cost-
effective method of archiving.
♦ SD files may be used for quick preview on a laptop or for SD deliverables, such as
web-based movies.
NOTE: Recording SD simultaneously to both media types is not supported.
IMPORTANT: The filenames of corresponding HD and SD clips are different.
