The DVW-707/707P series 1) Digital Camcorder combines a color video camera, which uses IT 2) type Power HADTM 3) sensor CCDs 4), with a Digital BETACAM series portable videocassette recorder. Its excellent image quality, sensitivity, portability, and dustand water-proof construction make it ideal as a camcorder for ENG 5) and EFP 6) in the same way the earlier DVW-700/700P. The introduction of a new method of processing digital signals improves the image quality even further and makes the camcorder far easier to use.
The DVW-790WS/790WSP employs FIT 7) type Power HAD sensor CCDs featuring a lower smear level and the ability to switch between the conventional aspect ratio of 4:3 and a wide screen aspect ratio of 16:9. The DVW-709WS/709WSP is identical with the DVW-790WS/790WSP except for its use of IT type Power HAD sensor CCDs and its lack of an ECS (extended clear scan) mode.
....................................................................................................................................
1)The DVW-707/709WS/790WS is for the NTSC broadcast system. The DVW707P/709WSP/790WSP is for the PAL broadcast system. The descriptions given in this manual apply to both models, any differences being clearly noted in the text.

•The built-in time code generator is synchronized with an external generator.
•A lithium battery is the back-up power supply for the time code generator enabling the time code to be held for about 5 years without charging the camcorder power supply.
•Optional long-life battery packs are available.
•Pressing the VTR START button on the camcorder or the VTR button on the lens ensures recording continuity from the very next frame.
•By connecting the VA-DN1 Camcorder Interface Adaptor (not supplied) to the 8-pin REMOTE connector, you can control some of the VTR functions from a 9-pin remote control device.
(A CCA-86-0.4 conversion cable is needed for the connection.)
•The time code is displayed in the LCD window screen even when the power is off. Automatic power shut-off function with five time code indication settings.
•This board continuously stores a few seconds of the most recent picture data. Recording is started with this data when the REC button is pressed to prevent the loss of picture data (Loop Rec function) (when the BKDW-703 is attached).
