Explanation of Terms

ªDigital Video System

In a digital video system, images and sounds are converted into digital signals and recorded on a tape. This complete digital recording is capable of recording and playback with minimal image and sound deterioration.

In addition, it automatically records data, such as Time Code and Date/Time, as digital signals.

Compatibility with S-VHS or VHS Cassettes Because this Movie Camera employs a digital system for recording image and sound data, it is not compatible with conventional S-VHS or VHS video equipment that employs an analog recording system.

The size and shape of the Cassettes are also different.

Compatibility with Output Signals Because AV signal output from the AV signal output socket is analog (the same as conventional video systems), this Movie Camera can be connected with S-VHS or VHS video or a TV for playback.
