The HXR-NX5U is also the first Sony professional camcorder
designed to record directly onto consumer memory cards.
These cards are affordable and easy to find. This general
versatility is especially handy when a user suddenly needs extra
memory – something that happens quite often when shooting a
documentary or news report on the move. Also, memory cards
are very compact and easy to handle. Many devices can accept
these memory cards allowing easy playback. Files can be copied
Three Major Advantages of Memory Recording
Recording Time on a single memory media

1. Easy Viewing of Recorded Footage
The major benefit of this memory recording system is its instant search
capability for recorded clips using thumbnail images. This speeds up
logging and editing work, which is ideal in fast-paced environments.
Having the ability to access clips randomly will make production staff
much happier and far more efficient.
2. Fast Ingestion to a Computer
Users can simply pop out a memory card and plug it into most
computer’s memory card reader slot (or use a USB2.0-type memory
card reader) to upload files. This is likely to take less time than the
actual length of recorded footage, so more time can be spent
shooting. Users are secure in the knowledge that editing deadlines
will be met, thanks to this efficient new approach to digital video
production.
*The uploading time will depend on the computer's specification.
3. Easy Playback
Affordable consumer memory media are already used in many
consumer electronic devices, and more are to come. Recorded
footage can be instantly played back using these devices.
Another new feature is continuous recording between two memory
card slots. The new HXR-NX5U camcorder automatically cycles
between the dual memory slots. When using two, 32-GB memory
cards, six hours of continuous HD footage can be recorded. If
a longer continuous recording time is required, the user simply
waits until the first card is full and recording has relayed to the
second card, before ejecting the first card and inserting a new
blank memory card. This procedure can be repeated as required,
extending continuous recording for a sufficiently long time.
from a memory card to any available computer, instantly backing
up valuable data. Another benefit is that memory cards can be
easily and cost-effectively reused.
