OPERATIONAL VERSATILITY

Picture ProfileTM

Up to six different picture-tonal settings can be registered in the memory with desired names as picture profiles on the HVR-V1P and displayed on the LCD monitor at the touch of a button. This allows operators to easily call up customized picture-tonal settings to suit particular shooting conditions, rather than having to readjust the camera each time. The factory default setting includes six pre-loaded picture profiles for typical shooting conditions.

Last Scene Review

At the touch of a button, the video and audio of the last shot can be instantly played back on the LCD monitor. This is achieved without even having to switch from "Camera mode" to "VTR mode". After playback, the tape is automatically cued up to the end of the last shot to continue back space editing. These features allow operators to seamlessly shoot and review material.

Playback Zoom

Using the playback zoom function, a selected area of the recorded HD images can be enlarged and played back on the LCD monitor and viewfinder, allowing operators to check them for certain details. These enlarged images can also be output in SD format via the i.LINK and analog connectors, allowing operators to cut out parts of the HD image and use them as SD material.

TC LINK Function

for Multi-camera Operations

Using the TC LINK function, the time code of the HVR-V1P can be synchronized with another camcorder such as an HVR-Z1P, a DSR-PD170P, or a second HVR-V1P. By connecting to the other camcorder via an i.LINK cable and activating this function, the HVR-V1P’s time code generator will switch to free-run mode and reset its time code to that provided from the connected camcorder. Once the time code is synchronized*10, the i.LINK cable can be disconnected, and the next HVR-V1P that needs synchronized time code can be set up.

TC LINK is a convenient function when using the HVR-V1P in multi-camera operations, such as live-event recording and stage-shooting applications.

*10 The synchronization accuracy is within one frame.

Long Operating Time

With the optional NP-F970 InfoLiTHIUMTM Rechargeable Battery Pack attached, the HVR-V1P can operate continuously for up to around 7 hours.
