Sony 900P, MSW-900 Intelligent light system, Memory Stick system stores camera setup parameters

Intelligent light system

An optional portable light (max. 50 W) can be directly attached to the camcorder, using a standard lighting connector and a specially designed short cable for operation on the comcorder’s battery. The light can be switched on and off manually, or automatically synchronized with the REC Start function of the camcorder.

“Memory Stick™ “ system stores camera setup parameters

The MSW-900 incorporates the Sony “Memory Stick” system for the storage and recall of setup parameters. This is an easy, effective system for storing and recalling camera parameters for individual scenes, plus individual operators’ camera setup preferences that include the settings of assignable switches.

Slot-in mechanism accommodates wireless microphone receiver

An optional Sony wireless microphone receiver, the WRR-855A/855B, slots

directly into the camcorder body without requiring a cable connection. This maintains camcorder balance and keeps the body compact to avoid any loss of mobility.

Turbo gain

The MSW-900 provides the Turbo Gain function, boosting the gain level up to +48 dB at the touch of a button. This makes it possible to shoot in extremely low light conditions.

High-quality audio recordings

Audio can be recorded in either 20 or 16-bit resolution. The recording format provides up to four channels of 20-bit mode and eight channels in 16-bit mode. Up to four channels can be recorded in either mode by the camcorder.

If recordings are made on channels 1-4 in the

8-channel, 16-bit mode, then channels 5-8 are available for use with a studio VTR. The inputs to audio tracks 1-4 can be accessed by any four microphones connected to the camcorder including the front microphone, and additional wired or wireless microphones.

The camcorder utilizes a 20-bit A/D converter instead of the 16-bit type to maximize sound quality.
