 Easy and Dependable DV Video Disk Recording and Playback 
The DV Bank is an instant on, easy to use, disk based, reliable, FireWire video recorder/player. Every DV Bank is specially formatted and has a self-contained processor optimized for storing video streams. A 60 Gigabyte hard drive (4.5 hours) or 120 GH HDD (9.0 hours) is available.

VTRstyle controls with large, illuminated buttons and a two line, back lit LCD display let the user select play, record, rewind, fast forward, fast reverse, pause, frame advance, file selection, file delete and loop play.

Its FireWire (IEEE-1394) interface allows direct capture from digital camcorders, other digital VTR's, analog VTR's with a converter or DV mixers.

Other features include seamless repeat loop play (for trade shows), variable speed forward or reverse play and play one frame at a time forward or reverse.

DV Banks' accessories add utility to the obvious advantages of a disk recorder.
