The signal natively generated
inside the GY-HD110 is the
uncompressed 720p progressive
HD format,selectable as either
720p 50 or 720p 60. This signal
is available as a live output
direct from the camera head.
This is ideal for the generation
of live pictures at sporting or
music events,or indeed at any
event where live HD
broadcasting is required.
In a typical live application the
uncompressed 1280 x 720
progressive signal will be
encoded to HD SDI for feeding
into a video server,an HD
switcher or a microwave link.
Added flexibility is given to
the production company or
broadcaster because the
European model GY-HD110 is
switchable between 720p 50
and 720p 60,according to
the ultimate destination of the
programme in question.

Signal:720p 50 and 720p 60

uncompressed HD.

Application:Live event broadcasting

and recording.

From the native uncompressed
720p 50 or 720p 60 signal,the
GY-HD110 camcorder
generates an HDVô compliant
recording signal. The choice of
selectable HDVô recording
signals is from 720p 25,720p
24 and 720p 30 which can be
sent to either the built-in tape
cassette or to the add-on hard
disk recorder,or to both at the
same time. The recordings can
then be fed directly into an NLE
for editing purposes. The
progressive nature of the
pictures allow for easier
translation into interlaced
formats if so required.
A low cost way to archive the HD
footage from both the MiniDV
cassettes and the hard disk
recorder,or indeed from the NLE
itself,is to dub it across to the
BR-HD50,which records HD on
standard size DV cassettes up to
4.6 hrs in length.
Also,if the camcorder and
recorder are being used to
achieve precise cinematographic
effects,then recording in 720p
24 is available.

Signal:720p 25 and 720p 30 and 720p 24.

Application:Acquisition for HD.

Whilst todayís client may only
want a standard definition DVD
copy of the corporate
promotion,wedding or sporting
event,there is good reason to
originate the footage in HD. With
the increasing development of
HD in the consumer arena,
future copies or versions may
be produced which will benefit
from the larger flat panel
displays and consumer
playback devices which will all
be capable of high definition
storage and display.
With HDV being recorded on
exactly the same mini and
standard-size cassettes as
professional DV (Standard
Definition),the archiving of
HD footage on tape cassettes
is very cost-effective. The
GY-HD110 takes the mini
cassette with more than
1-hourís duration and the
BR-HD50 takes both the mini
and standard-size cassette,
with the latter providing more
than 4 hourís capacity.
So,the tag-line for HD is the
same as for SD:
Cost-effective
acquisition and archiving,
but
now we can add the words:
with built-in future-proofing.

Signal:720p 30/25.

Application:Delivery of the same video

programme in SD today and

in HD tomorrow,using same

source footage.
