Sony Ericsson DVW-707P manual Cassette Loading

Cassette Loading

Vertical cassette loading minimises the risk of anything unwanted getting into the tape mechanism. The robust cassette compartment is dust and drip proof, and minimises acoustic noise from the rotating head drum.

Stereo Audio Line Output

A stereo audio line output is available from the 5-pin XLR connector on the rear of the camcorder. This provides two analogue audio output channels, which can be selected to be either CH-1/2 or CH-3/4.

Internal Light System

All new Digital Betacam camcorder models incorporate an internal light system. An Anton Bauer standard 2-pin socket can supply up to 50 W from the camcorderÕs lithium-ion battery. The light can be switched on and off manually or, in Auto mode, is

switched on when recording starts and off when recording stops to maximise battery life. A switch on the side of the camcorders selects Manual or Auto mode.

*Anton/Bauer products may not be available in some countries.

Optical Filter Wheels

Two independent optical filter wheels, one with Neutral Density (ND) filters and one with Colour Correction (CC) filters, are installed in both of the widescreen models. An optional servo filter drive unit,

the BKDW-701 can also be fitted.

The DVW-707P has only one filter wheel, with a combination of ND and CC filters.

Electronic Shutter

Like the DVW-700P and DVW-700WSP camcorders, all three new models have an electronic shutter with the following speeds: 1/60, 1/125, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000 and 1/2000

of a second. This helps in capturing clear images of fast-moving objects with minimum motion blur. Thanks to the

high sensitivity of these camcorders, even the fastest speeds can be used without the amount of available light being a major concern.
