Designed and manufactured in Germany, the bonsaiDRIVE is targeted to the broadcast, post-production, video or multi-media markets as a standalone instant access recorder. Due to its versatility, the unit can also be used in a wealth of applications such as scientific research, video monitoring and security industries. Simultaneously handling 4:2:2 PAL or NTSC video signals alongside ten audio channels, the Rosendahl bonsaiDRIVE allows the user to specify their own choice of standard IDE drive which neatly slots into the unit itself, creating a compact, lightweight recorder that also functions as a totally portable media storage device.

It’s also compatible with most audio and video remote control devices, allowing jog control and multi-tracking in more hardcore studio environments. You can record PAL or NTSC via S-video or component, along with 10 audio channels.
