Need some Pro/Semi-Pro DV Recording Options!

I work in the AV industry. I'm looking for an inexpensive way of recording several broadcast quality video feeds with audio to hard disk. A computer would work, but I'm not familiar with anyway of capturing up to 4 DV feeds at once.

Basically, we have 4 broadcast cameras, and we'll have a separate audio mixer for audio. We'd send some device either composite or component BNC and some audio, and we'd like to record that to hard disk, possibly as DV.


We could record a DVD for each feed with separate DVD Recorders, since they're really cheap now, but will hard disk ones overcome the 2 hour limit without sacrificing quality? Those DVD Recorders that have hard drives built in, will they allow recording for the max of the hard disk? And then you burn later?

If anyone know of any pro-sumer equipment, either PC or standalone, please let me know. Thanks!

Sorry, its analog video.. RBG/Sync (4-wire BNC) or Composite. They're high end Sony broadcast camera with CCU's.. Canon lenses. The signal leaves the camera over Triax to the CCUs.. The CCUs are capable of SDI output but unfortunately we don't have the cards in them to suport that... Analog is fine though.. .

We basically want to record each camera's feed. We normally use DVCPro decks but our decks are getting repaired.. and we're looking for other options as well.

We could record to DVD, but at SP mode, that's only 2 hours... which brings up the question about DVD Recorders having hard drives.

Thanks for the info.

9 MB/s DVD Recording might be just fine to HD. I don't want a DVD Recorder without a hard drive as our material is sure to be longer than 2 hours... and I don't want to have to lower bitrate to fit it all on. If it can record to hard disk, for 3-4 hours, that would be plenty.
