Introduction This is the first DV format integrated camera VTR that supports standard cassettes. It combines the digital camera technology fostered by broadcast equipment with the dependability of the DVCPRO mechanism. It has a compact size, light weight and lowpower consumption, and it is capable of recording for many hours. Both its camera unit and VTR unit incorporate digital signal processing to achieve even greater improvements in picture quality and stability. Features Features of the camera unit ≥ 1/2 type IT 3-CCD configuration The camera's high resolution of about 800 lines and its minimum subject brightness of 0.5 lux make easy work of shooting under low lighting conditions, and they achieve bright camera images with a high sensitivity. ≥ Digital processing incorporated Full-blown digital processing circuitry fostered by broadcasting applications is featured to ensure a high performance, sophisticated functions and a high level of dependability. ≥ Replacement lens system The bayonet system is employed to enable 1/2 lenses made by Fujinon or Canon to be mounted for use. ≥CC/ND filter with a 4-leaf configuration adopted as a standard accessory This configuration enables the optimum filter for the subject brightness and color temperature to be selected. ≥ Shooting support functions Scene file dial This makes it easy to select six scene file settings to suit the prevailing shooting conditions. ATW (auto tracking white) function The auto tracking white function comes in handy when shooting successive scenes with different light sources. Quick focus function This automatically controls the iris and shutter to provide support for ensuring easy focusing. Full auto function This is useful for emergency shooting when, for instance, there is not enough time to perform the camera settings. Auto iris mode selection function This enables three auto iris settings to be selected. The settings can easily be switched to match the shooting conditions. Menu jog dial system A jog dial button enabling easy menu settings is provided on the front panel of the camera. Features of the VTR unit ≥ DV format The VTR unit compresses the images using a component digital recording system that incorporates the latest compression technology. For recording the sound, the unit uses noncompression PCM recording which achieves an excellent signalto-noise ratio, frequency band, waveform characteristics and reproducibility of the finely detailed parts. Both picture quality and sound quality are taken to new heights by this format. ≥ Standard tape drive The DVCPRO mechanism with its proven track recorded in broadcasting applications has been put to use to ensure the same high level of dependability while at the same time enabling long recordings lasting up to a maximum of 270 minutes. ≥ High system capabilities The unit comes with DV connectors as a standard accessory. These enable hookup with other DV components and DV nonlinear devices. The battery packs made by Anton Bauer and battery systems made by other companies are all supported. ≥ Other features Frame-to-frame continuity Simply by pressing the VTR START button or VTR button on the lens, the continuity from one frame to the next is assured with a precision of 0 to +1 frame or less. Rec review function This automatically rewinds the tape for the last 2 to 10 seconds recorded and plays back the recording. This enables what was recorded to be monitored without delay. Built-in time code generator/reader This enables the time code information to be recorded on the dedicated sub-code track and played back. Time stamp function This superimposes the date and time onto the camera's images and records them. Interval rec function This function enables simply interval shooting. It is particularly effective for shooting programs on nature or art. 4
