• Setup data specified by video engineers, including the video settings,
can be stored in the camcorder itself and on a memory stick as a scene
file. This makes it possible to load setup data appropriate for the scene.
• Correction values for lens extenders and individual lenses can be stored
as a lens file. The values can then be recalled. This makes it possible
to shorten adjustment time when the lens is replaced.
• A high-performance viewfinder is adjustable forward, backward, and
sideways, and has a full range of auxiliary equipment.
• The camcorder is provided with the XLR 5-pin connector, which
allows connection of a stereo microphone. The ASSIGN 1/2 switches
allow microphone mode to be switched between stereo and monaural.
• The HD SDI output (corresponding to Embedded Audio) makes it
possible to monitor the camera image and playback image.
• Attaching the HKDW-702 down converter (not supplied) (converting
to 525i/625i signal
1)
) allows the camera image and playback image to
be monitored on the NTSC/PAL monitor. This board makes it possible
to output the SDI signal (corresponding to Embedded Audio).
• Three down converter modes are available: SQUEEZE, LETTER BOX
and CROP.
• The camcorder is provided with the LIGHT connector. This feeds
power to the light from a battery or AC adaptor connected to the
camcorder.
• The viewfinder supplied with NTSC/PAL type camcorders, such as the
BVW-400A/400AP, can be attached to the HDW-750/750CE in
emergencies (only when the HKDW-702 (not supplied) is attached).
Some functions are not available with this viewfinder.
• The camcorder has the ASSIGN 1/2 switches, which can be assigned
functions.

1) When the HKDW-702 is attached to the HDW-750, the HD signal is down-
converted to the 525i signal. When the HKDW-702 is attached to the HDW-
750CE, the HD signal is down-converted to the 625i signal.
