Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

Recording rods, also known as recording units, were long, clear cylindrical tubes that recorded and played audio and visual images. The data was stored in chips or storage crystals and the recording material played in two-dimensions on the exterior of the rod. The controls were located on the ends of the rod.
