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.
≥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.
≥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 signal- to-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.
≥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.
≥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.

2VTR STBY/SAVE (tape protection) switch
This switches the power supply mode when the VTR |
is set |
to |
|||||
the rec |
pause |
mode |
in |
which recording |
is |
temporarily |
|
suspended. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
STBY: In this |
mode, |
recording starts immediately by pressing |
|||||
|
the VTR START button. |
|
|
|
|||
SAVE: |
This is |
the |
tape |
protection mode. |
The tape drum is |
||
|
stopped in the half-loading status. |
Less |
power is |
||||
|
consumed at this position than at the STBY position so |
||||||
|
that the battery will supply power to the unit for a longer |
||||||
|
period of time. |
|
|
|
|
||
|
Compared with the STBY position, more time is taken to |
||||||
|
start recording after the VTR START button is pressed. |
||||||
|
When the switch is set to the SAVE position, the VTR |
||||||
|
SAVE lamp inside the viewfinder lights up. |
|
<Note>
When the PAUSE TIMER time has elapsed in the STBY mode,
the unit is automatically set to the SAVE mode. For further details, refer to the table for <VTR OPTION> in the section on the sub-menu screens (page 34).
4OUTPUT/AUTO KNEE selector switch
This switch selects the video signals which are to be output from
the camera unit to the VTR unit, viewfinder and/or video monitor.
CAM, AUTO KNEE ON:

CAM, AUTO KNEE OFF:
The images shot by the camera are output. The MANUAL KNEE circuit operates.
BARS:
Color bar signals are output. The AUTO KNEE circuit does not operate.
AUTO KNEE function
When shooting with the level set to people or scenes against a high-brightness background, the background will be whitened out, and the buildings and scene in the background will be blurred. If the AUTO KNEE function is activated at times like this, the background will be reproduced clearly. This function is effective for shooting in the following situations:
≥When shooting people in the shade under a clear sky
≥When simultaneously shooting people in a car or indoors and the outside scenery through a window
≥When shooting scenes with a strong contrast
3GAIN selector switch
When the camera screen is dark, turn this switch to a position which will increase the gain and brighten the screen.
The gain for each item can be selected on-screen. For further details, refer to the table for <SW MODE> in the section on the setting menu screens (page 33).
L:The switch is normally set to this position. The gain at this position was set to 0 dB at the factory prior to shipment.
M: The gain of the camera’s video amplifier is increased. The
gain at this position was set to 9 dB at the factory prior to shipment.
H:The gain of the camera’s video amplifier is increased even more. The gain at this position was set to 18 dB at the factory prior to shipment.
