Attention

Adjust the following 2 settings when using the unit for the first time.

Adjust the black-balance setting when using the unit for the first time. (Refer to page 52)

The unit is delivered from the factory with the color TV standard not yet specified. To revise the settings for frame frequency according to the TV standard, refer to the procedures described on page 13.

The unit is a CCD camera-recorder in which a camera unit equipped with three 2/3-type CCDs which support progressive drive (reading of all pixels) is integrated with a recording/playback unit which supports the compression formats AVC-Intra100, AVC-Intra50 and DVCPRO HD.

The unit supports the HD methods shown in the following table. The unit is also equipped with CAC (chromatic aberration correction function for the magnification ratio chromatic aberration of lenses), Variable Frame Rate (hereafter called “VFR”) from 1P to 60P in 720-59.94P and 720-60P, (from 1P to 50P in 720-50P), Scan Reverse (corrects images when Anamo lenses or lenses for film applications are used), and the film-like gamma function.

For recording, the compression and recording methods are selectable among AVC-Intra100, AVC-Intra50, and DVCPRO HD. Since minimal image deterioration occurs when recording with AVC-Intra100 compression in particular, high image quality can be retained.
