• A lithium battery is the back-up power supply for the built-in time code

generator enabling the time code to be held for approximately 5 years without charging the camcorder power supply.

• Optional long-life battery packs are available.

• Pressing the VTR START button on the camcorder or the VTR button on the lens ensures recording continuity from the very next frame.

• The time code is displayed in the LCD window screen even when the power is off. The automatic power shut-off function has three time code indication settings.

• The camcorder continuously stores a few seconds of the most recent picture data. Recording is started with this data when the REC button is pressed. This prevents the loss of picture data (Loop Rec function). (This feature is available when HKDW-703 (not supplied) is attached.)

• A slot-in UHF portable tuner WRR-855A/855B (not supplied) can be attached.

• Four channels of analog audio can be converted to 20-bit digital signals. The converted four channels of digital audio can then be recorded.

• Connecting the HDCA-901 camera adaptor (not supplied) allows the input of four audio channels. This also makes it possible for the HD- SDI signal to be output.

• When connecting the audio cable to AUDIO IN CH-1/CH-2 connectors (XLR 3-pin), the audio signals input to the XLR 3-pin are recorded regardless of the AUDIO IN switch setting. This function is called the XLR connection automatic detection function.

• The AUDIO OUT connector (XLR 5-pin) allows the camcorder to output signals from two channels at the same time (stereo recording).

• The camcorder searches for the most recently recorded cut and records the new cut over it. (RE-TAKE function)

• The camcorder searches for the point most recently recorded on the tape and automatically switches to paused recording mode (rec pause). (End Search function)
