8 9Technical Innovations – Enhance Shooting in the Field
Cassette Loading
The cassette loading is fast, simple and reliable. It takes
less than 5 seconds* for a cassette change. This ease of
change and long recording runs (40 minutes: HDW-
750, 48 minutes: HDW-750CE, 40 minutes at 60i
format or 48 minutes at 50i format: HDW-730)offer
new levels of efficiency on location. The loading
mechanism is robust and designed to be dust and drip
proof. The vertical cassette loading helps to minimize
the risk of anything unwanted getting into the tape
mechanism. It also reduces the unwanted sound of a
fast rotating VTR drum to be captured via an on-board
microphone of the camcorder.

Safe Area Markers
To all ow f or individual production requirements, the
HDW-750/730 provides safe-area markers for any
aspect ratio.
Lens Mount
The B-4 mount ring of the HDW-750/730 is strong
enough to support the heaviest of lenses. Same as other
Sony HD cameras/camcorders, conventional lenses for
SDTV systems can also be attached to these
camcorders.
Electronic Shutter
The electronic shutter helps in capturing clear images
of fast-moving objects by selectively minimizing
motion blur.
Extended Clear Scan
The Extended Clear Scan function is particularly useful
when shooting scenes that contain computer or TV
screens as it minimizes the horizontal bars that can
appear. The ECS shutter speed is continuously variable.
Intelligent Light Shoe
The HDW-750/730 HDCAM camcorder incorporates
an intelligent light shoe on the upper part of the
carrying handle. An standard two-pin socket provides
up to 50 watts of power from the
attached battery. The power can be
switched on and off manually or,
when in Auto mode, it can be
set to be synchronized with the
operation of the REC button. A
switch on the side of the
camcorder selects Manual or
Auto mode.
HD SDI Output for Field Monitoring
The HDW-750/730 directly provides an HD-SDI output
with four channels of embedded digital audio. You can
monitor all image capture in the field as high quality
HD images without any adapter.
