Will this charge and record simultaneously?

No! And that's a huge problem for me because I use it as an emergency back-up and it was dead the other when I needed it:-( I do like it though. It records clearly. You just have to remember to charge it!

Yes. No problem. I usually have two in use, both playing from the same source, and one charging. Both work while one is charging.

Unless you have the camera charging simultaneously, I would say no...based on the fact that the battery has barely lasted 3 hours recording intermittently.

Just plug in USB cable to the recording unit and other end of the cable to one of those USE-to-power adapter for the charging. However I strongly recommend purchasing dedicated power adapter made by the manufacturer.

You can charge both at the same time, but its better if you do it separately

No. In fact all the record functions are disabled as soon as you plug it into a computer (or USB extended life charger), so you can't record at all when it's plugged in. BUT - the good news is that it WILL record a VERY long time without having to change the battery. Don't forget, there are no moving parts in this device. It's energy consumption to operate is incredibly low. I'm pretty sure you would fill up the memory chip before you ran the battery down, but I haven't challenged it that far yet, so I could be wrong, but I don't think so.

Yes it will. but if you are in a place where you have plug it up while recording, that's even better. Then you won't have to work about power. It allows you to charge and record at the same time

Yes it can. My unit charges the battery while it is attached to the camera. If the video screen is flipped open, it can also record video.

Yes. You will have to connect it through a pre-amp to your recording device.

It will record while plugged in however I have found it will only work if the camera is recording before it is plugged in.

No. You slide the button to turn it on & it starts recording & records until it's charge runs down or you shut it off.

I have not tried such thing. But I have charged 2 devices at the same time: my Cellphone and a portable speakers, and it worked perfectly.

Not sure whether it records while charging. It has to be charged via computer hookup. Must change out card after full. Not real fond of these camera recorders. Hard to tell if they are recording. And the download to computer after recording is extremely slow.

The recording function is unrelated to the SDI output. Therefore yes you can record simultaneously.
