MiniDV Format

MiniDV recording format delivers 3X the
color bandwidth of VHS with significantly
less video noise ratio compared to analog
formats and providing stunning video
performance.

4" LCD Display (123K Pixels)

improved resolution. The 123K pixel LCD
rotates for multiple viewing angles
providing sharp detailed images for
monitoring or playback.

Digital Still Memory Mode with Memory
Stick® Media

Capture digital still images at 640 x 480
resolution from video-tapes, analog inputs

or digital video i.LINK® input, directly onto
Memory Stick media. The images can be
easily transferred to PCs for emailing,
printing or sharing with other compatible
Memory Stick devices.

MPEG Movie Mode

Capture MPEG1 compressed video with
audio directly to Memory Stick media.
Shoot an MPEG Movie "on location" or select
up to 60 seconds from your recorded
videotapes. The Video Email mail mode, 160
x 112, is ideal resolution for sharing videos
via the Internet. Use the Presentation
Mode, 320 x 240, to increase the resolution
for greater detail.

USB Streaming

Stay connected with family and friends by
broadcasting prerecorded videos with
audio, via the Internet with the USB
interface. It's like having your own video
conferencing system.

i.LINK® DV Interface (IEEE1394)

A high speed bi-directional digital
video/audio communication between two
devices equipped with an IEEE1394
interface, including camcorders, digital
VCRs, and PCs.

Convert and/or record any analog NTSC
video source to digital video via the analog
inputs. Analog NTSC video can also be
passed-through the Digital Handycam®
camcorder directly into a PC via the i.LINK

interface in real time for easy PC editing

of your analog footage.

12-Bit/16-Bit PCM Digital Stereo

16-bit recording offers the same,
outstanding sound quality as Compact Disc.
12-bit recording enables you to add an
additional audio track with compatible
audio dubbing equipment or i.LINK
compatible computers.

SP and LP Record/Playback

Standard Play offers up to 60 minutes of
digital recording, or Long Play for up to 90
minutes, on one Mini DV cassette.

Digital Program Editing

Allows you to select a sequence of 20 scenes
and then control dubbing via i.LINK to
another i.LINK camcorder, via infrared
remote to an analog VCR. Controls both
Sony and other brand camcorders and VCRs.

Playback Zoom

Manipulates the picture inside the Video
Walkman® VCR. While playing back your
images on the Video Walkman VCR, it allows
you to edit your images by zooming in (up
to 2 times) and cropping your picture (up,
down, left, right). You can save the new
image as a separate file. Resize lets you
save a copy of an image to a smaller or
larger file size.

Print Mark

Pre-select your digital still images (in the
camcorder) for printing, and connect with a
DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)
compatible printer for hassle free printing.
Because your images are already selected,
your printing experience will be fast and
enjoyable.

Crystal Clear Still/Slow Motion Playback

Digital video provides noise free playback
in slow motion and in the pause mode for
detailed playback.

Drop Frame Time Code

Assigns each video frame a sequential code
number providing frame accurate editing
for each of the 29.97 frames contained in 1
second of DV video.

Index Titler

Add titles to your videos. Allows an
updateable title to be stored on a DV
cassette IC chip and accessed using the GV­D1000 data code.

Cassette Memory

built-in 4K Integrated Circuit Memory Chip.
The Memory Chip provides the ability to
read and write data that can be used to
access index points, Photo ID points, Title for
the scene or Title for the entire tape.
