Dual Memory Card Slots
The HXR-NX5E has two memory card media slots for recording. Use of Sony’s Memory Stick
PRO Duo™ and Memory Stick PRO Duo HG™ are recommended media cards.
The HXR-NX5E records to a single memory card slot at a time. With two memory cards
installed, the camcorder provides continuous, seamless recording of long scenes, and
maximises the utilisation of each card’s storage capacity.
As the card in Slot A reaches its capacity, recording is automatically switched to the card in Slot
B. The card in Slot A may then be removed and replaced. When the card in Slot B fills to
capacity, another seamless switch back to Slot A occurs.
This unique dual slot configuration provides continuous recording without any breaks in content
or time code.
Prior to editing, clips that span one or more memory cards may be merged using the Sony
Content Management Utility (CMU), a software accessory supplied with the camcorder.
