1-1-2 VTR Features
The VTR features of the DVW-700 series are described below.
Digital BETACAM format gives improved signal-to-noise ratio,
frequency bandwidth, waveform characteristics, and detail playback
characteristics to ensure higher video and audio quality.
After the last few seconds of recording, the VTR automatically rewinds
and then plays back by pressing the RET button on the lens. This
function enables a quick check of the recording.
No playback adaptor is needed to see the color playback image.
The 5 times normal speed search function provides quick positioning
of the tape.
Both LTC
1)
and VITC
2)
recordings can be made, as can LTC
playback.
The built-in time code generator is synchronized with an external
generator.
A lithium battery is the back-up power supply for the time code
generator enabling the time code to be held for about 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.
