You can use the firewire cable to record directly into your laptop or desktop computer, if that was your question. Plus there are a couple of digital recording devices like the Sony HVR-MRC1K, but they are quite expensive... Blackmagic Design also has a couple of different recorders... so you might want to check out their website
