A Dockable Digital Disk Recorder

Mark J. Norton

A new approach to capturing video and audio media in a field setting is described based on small form-factor disk drive recording package (FieldPak) and video compression technology. These have been combined to produce a dockable digital video recording unit which mates to a variety of ENG cameras, the Ikegami HS-57 for example. A system, hardware, software and feature view is presented to describe how existing technology components can be combined to form a field-portable, reliable digital media collection system.
