Need advice on what recording device to get
Hi,
I hope someone can advise.... I have a video mixer hooked up to various equipment and it outputs via a Phono Composite output. I wish to be abee to record the output from this, but now I realise it's becoming more and more difficult to purchase HDD recorders with analogue connectivity. I have seen devices that convert an analog signal to digital RF so that's fine to use that if necessary. Ideally I would like to be able to record the output to a USB drive, so I can archive the recordings for later viewing, and then be able to play those back on any TV/player/PC with a USB connection. Maybe USB drive isn't the way forward???? I don't really want to record into a computer and the recordings would generally be 5-8 hours. It's not HD quality, but I need to record in the best quality possible. Has anyone any experience of what would be useful to me? Thanks. |

avermedia do some capture boxes that are really designed for capturing game play and in high definition. To record from composite you'd also need a composite to hdmi or component video adapter.

What's wrong with a DVD recorder? You can then play back the recordings on any DVD player.

I'm not looking for a DVD recorder - As detailed in my original post, I need to be able to receord between 5-8 hours in one go in as high quality as possible. This simply wouldn't happen on DVD.
I have heard of recording TV direct to a NAS box - Anyone any experience of this or thoughts on it??? Thanks. |

To record to a NAS drive you would need some sort of video capture device that could plug into your network and transfer data to the NAS drive. Done a bit of googling but failing to find anything that can do this at the moment. |
