will allow the capability to record
previous recorded video on a smaller
more compact MiniDV tape. Utilizing the
higher quality S-Video cable reduces
“Dot Crawl” which is commonly seen as
distortion around the edge of the
recorded video signal, which is normally
found from analog sources.

video source to digital video via the
analog inputs. Analog NTSC video can

* interface in real time for

easy PC editing of your analog footage.

outstanding sound quality as Compact

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

Video Walkman

®

VCR to computers
for fast transfer of digital images and
MPEG movies.

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.

Index Titler

Add titles to your videos. Allows an
updateable title to be stored on a DV
cassette IC chip and accessed using the
GV-D1000 data code.

Cassette Memory

Compatible with the Mini DV tapes with a
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.

InfoLithium®M Series Battery with
AccuPower Meter System (Optional)
