04 DVCAM FEATURES / SPECIFICATIONS

Index Marking

When a Cassette Memory-equipped DVCAM/DV tape is used, an Index can be marked while recording with the camera or recording from an external video source.

This function allows quick access to the marked tape position in subsequent operations.

Time Code Preset

The time code can be preset using any number in H/M/S/F (hours/minutes/seconds/frames), for accurate tape-position information. The time-code mode can be selected between “rec-run” or “free run”. User bits can also be set.

Title Function

When using a Cassette Memory-equipped tape, titles can be set and stored in the Cassette Memory for superimposition during playback. This information is not burnt into the video signal, but is overlaid only during the playback.

Fader

The DSR-PD170 provides five fading modes: Black Fade (IN/OUT), Monotone Fade (fade from Black & White to color), Overlap (last image becomes a still image and overlaps into the new scene), Wipe and Dot.

Digital Still Camera Functions with

Memory Stick™ Media

The Memory Photo function allows the camera to be switched to progressive scan mode for capturing still images. VGA-sized files are recorded on the Memory Stick media. The Memory Mix function can combine the still images stored on Memory Stick media with camera video images.

Supplied Lens Hood with Built-in Lens Cap This lens hood incorporates a lens cap that can

be opened or closed by using a lever located on the side of the hood.

Supplied Wide Conversion Lens and

Additional Lens Hood

The high performance VCL-HG0758 Wide Conversion Lens and its associated lens hood, LSF-S58 Lens Hood are bundled with the DSR-PD170. The

LSF-S58 can serve as a lens hood even when the Wide Conversion Lens is not in use.

Other Functions

■Date Stamping Superimpose date onto image, selected by menu.

■AV to DV Out Convert analog input signals to DV signals.
