Dual optical filters
The MSW-900 is equipped with dual optical
filters for Color Correction (CC) and Neutral
Density (ND) for flexible color and exposure
control. The CC filters are CROSS, 3200K,
4300K, and 6300K while the ND filters are
CLEAR, 1/4ND, 1/16ND, and 1/64ND.
Assignable function
Functions frequently used in the field can be
assigned to a push button and a simple slide
switch, allowing the operator to make rapid
changes under field conditions. The following
functions can be assigned.
Two-channel audio output
A two-channel audio line output is available
from the 5-pin XLR connector on the rear of the
camcorder. This provides two analog audio
output channels, which are selectable between
either Channel-1/2 or Channel-3/4.
Camera control via 8-pin
remote connector
An optional remote control unit,
the Sony RM-B150, makes it
possible to remotely control the
camcorder’s basic functions via
its 8-pin remote connector.
User-friendly controls
Two important aspects of the user-friendly operation of the MSW-900
are its carefully designed menu structure and the ergonomic design of
the camcorder body.
The menu can be displayed in either of two ways, as a user menu or
sub-menu based system. The user menu can be customized by
operators for the fastest access to the menus they frequently use.
The sub-menu based menu makes all menus accessible, each of which
is categorized into groups such as paint, file and maintenance. This
structure makes it possible to access any menu quickly, eliminating the
need to seek a desired menu from the entire list of menus. Individual
operators are able to choose the menu presentation that they feel
comfortable to use.
The elegant body design has been carefully determined to incorporate
the experience gained from two decades of camcorder operations.
Previous operators of any Sony Betacam camcorder series will
immediately feel comfortable and at home with the MSW-900.
