Introduction

This is the first DV format integrated camera VTR that supports

Both its camera unit and VTR unit incorporate digital signal

standard cassettes. It combines the digital camera technology

processing to achieve even greater improvements in picture quality

fostered by broadcast equipment with the dependability of the

and stability.

DVCPRO mechanism. It has a compact size, light weight and low-

 

power consumption, and it is capable of recording for many hours.

Features of the camera unit

≥1/2 type IT 3-CCD configuration

The camera’s high resolution of about 800 lines and its minimum subject brightness of 0.5 lux make easy work of shooting under low lighting conditions, and they achieve bright camera images with a high sensitivity.

≥Digital processing incorporated

Full-blown digital processing circuitry fostered by broadcasting applications is featured to ensure a high performance, sophisticated functions and a high level of dependability.

≥Replacement lens system

The bayonet system is employed to enable 1/2 lenses made by Fujinon or Canon to be mounted for use.

Features of the VTR unit

≥DV format

The VTR unit compresses the images using a component digital recording system that incorporates the latest compression technology. For recording the sound, the unit uses non- compression PCM recording which achieves an excellent signal- to-noise ratio, frequency band, waveform characteristics and reproducibility of the finely detailed parts. Both picture quality and sound quality are taken to new heights by this format.

≥Standard tape drive

The DVCPRO mechanism with its proven track recorded in broadcasting applications has been put to use to ensure the same high level of dependability while at the same time enabling long recordings lasting up to a maximum of 270 minutes.

≥CC/ND filter with a 4-leaf configuration adopted as a standard accessory

This configuration enables the optimum filter for the subject brightness and colour temperature to be selected.

≥Shooting support functions

Scene file dial

This makes it easy to select six scene file settings to suit the prevailing shooting conditions.

ATW (auto tracking white) function

The auto tracking white function comes in handy when shooting successive scenes with different light sources.

Quick focus function

This automatically controls the iris and shutter to provide support for ensuring easy focusing.

Full auto function

This is useful for emergency shooting when, for instance, there is not enough time to perform the camera settings.

Auto iris mode selection function

This enables three auto iris settings to be selected. The settings can easily be switched to match the shooting conditions.

Menu jog dial system

A jog dial button enabling easy menu settings is provided on the front panel of the camera.

≥High system capabilities

The unit comes with DV connectors as a standard accessory. These enable hookup with other DV components and DV non- linear devices.

The battery packs made by Anton Bauer and battery systems made by other companies are all supported.

≥Other features

Frame-to-frame continuity

Simply by pressing the VTR START button or VTR button on the lens, the continuity from one frame to the next is assured with a precision of 0 to +1 frame or less.

Rec review function

This automatically rewinds the tape for the last 2 to 10 seconds recorded and plays back the recording. This enables what was recorded to be monitored without delay.

Built-in time code generator/reader

This enables the time code information to be recorded on the dedicated sub-code track and played back.

Time stamp function

This superimposes the date and time onto the camera’s images and records them.

Interval rec function

This function enables simply interval shooting. It is particularly effective for shooting programmes on nature or art.
