Matco PDV-040 Portable Video Recorder


Matco PDV-040 Portable Video RecorderMatco, a security and spy camera company, has just released the PDV-040 Portable Pocket Digital Video Recorder (what a mouthful). A brick-sized portable video player that lets you record external analog video sources into MPEG-4 digital (25-28 fps), as well as audio only in MP3 format (via its A/V cable or built-in microphone).

Admittedly, the PDV-040 is bit on the large size (dimensions: 5-1/8″W x 3-3/8″H x 1-3/8″D – weight: 0.67 lbs), but some may find the device appealing because of its support for NTSC/PAL, USB 2.0 port, 20/40GB HDD options, and high-resolution (408×234) 3.5-inch screen. As far as we can tell the PDV-040 is only available through the Matco website with an MSRP $749.
