High-Performance 4K Capture for Live Production

The Datavideo HDR-2 is a cutting-edge 4K recording solution designed for professionals who demand high resolution and ultimate portability. Supporting UHD 4K at 50/60p, this standalone device allows you to capture every detail with breathtaking realism. By utilizing H.265 and H.264 encoding, the HDR-2 strikes the perfect balance between high-quality visuals and storage optimization, making it an ideal companion for live production sites, on-location shoots, and high-end event videography.

Professional Connectivity and Audio Flexibility

Equipped with HDMI 2.0 input, output, and a dedicated loop-through port, the HDR-2 integrates flawlessly into existing video chains. Audio is never an afterthought; the device offers complete flexibility, allowing you to embed sound from HDMI, connect professional XLR microphones, or use RCA external sources. You can even blend these sources to create a customized immersive audio experience, ensuring your 4K content sounds as good as it looks.

Intuitive Operation and Monitoring

Staying in control during a high-pressure shoot is made simple with the HDR-2’s built-in 2" LCD monitor. This screen provides vital information and real-time visual feedback, ensuring your recording parameters are precisely where they need to be. The unit’s front-panel controls are supplemented by a wide array of remote options, including DVIP over LAN and serial RS-422/232 communication, allowing for surgical precision in both manual and automated production environments.

Rugged, Mobile, and Future-Proof

The HDR-2 is built to thrive where traditional computer-based recording fails. Its autonomous SD card recording frees you from the constraints of a laptop, while the ability to run on mobile power via USB grants you the freedom to record virtually anywhere. Housed in a durable half-rack width chassis, it is equally at home on a desktop or mounted in a standard 1RU rack. With its ability to handle bitrates tailored to your specific application, the HDR-2 is the ultimate "set-and-forget" tool for the modern 4K workflow.
