Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA – January 5, 2015. Marantz Professional (marantzpro.com), a leading manufacturer of professional recording solutions today announced the high definition PMD-901V personal A/V recorder. This body-worn audio/video recorder was designed to capture the sights, sounds and locations of service, technical, safety and other critical personnel as they go about their duties. In particular, the PMD-901V will appeal to law enforcement, EMT, health-care workers and others who interact frequently with the public.

With 32GB of secure, tamper-proof internal storage, the PMD-901V captures up to 8 continuous hours of full HD video at 2304 x 1296 resolution, rendering impeccable detail and clarity, in harsh conditions. Weighing less than 7 ounces, the PMD-901V attaches unobtrusively to the user’s clothing with a swiveling clip for optimum video capture from the ultra-wide 140-degree field-of-view lens. The internal GPS receiver provides automatic location tagging of video- and still-captures, offering irrefutable substantiation of where and when the audio and video were recorded.

Purpose-built for commercial applications, the PMD-901V seamlessly integrates with uniforms and heavy outerwear, making gloved operation a simple task—even in extreme temperatures. A backlit, high-resolution 2-inch color screen provides in-field review capabilities, while the password-protected files are secure from tampering or erasure by unauthorized personnel. On-the-fly file marking lets users quickly identify clips containing notable events while offloading them to a computer over high speed USB.
