The product incorporates image ghost reduction and 3D Y/C separation technologies, storing up to 74 hours of high-quality video (8Mbps). It is also equipped with a newly developed high-speed rate converter engine to reduce time required for bit-rate encoding and recording of video (8Mbps) from the previous two hours to about 50 minutes. The dimensions of the unit is 430x360x77.5mm.

The AX300L, a model with a 160GB drive, will also be available. Both models are open-priced.
