Sony HVR-Z7U Camcorder User Manual


 
16
The HVR-S270U offers videographers a
traditional “on-the-shoulder” feel with the
benefits of increased camera stability and
longer recording time of up to 4.5 hours with
standard size cassettes.
Standard-size Cassette Compatibility
A standard-size cassette tape provides approximately 4.5
hours of HDV/DV recording or approximately 3 hours of
DVCAM recording. Of course, recording on a miniDV
tape is still an option.
HD/SD-SDI & Other Output Connectors
An HD/SD-SDI output connector provides embedded
audio and TC data and can,for example, be linked up to
an XDCAM HD deck.
BNC connectors provide secure cabling connections.
BP Series Battery Compatible
V-lock professional BP batteries are another great feature
in common with broadcast camcorders.
Smooth Slow Rec
As with the HVR-Z7U,the HVR-S270U camcorder enables
slow-motion playback by capturing images four times
faster than the normal field rate (240 fields/s).
Four-channel Audio Input
Four-channel audio recording is realized in HDV and
DVCAM thanks to four XLR audio input connectors – two
at the front,and two at the back.

"Dual Finder" New LCD Position on EVF Unit
The new LCD position on the EVF (Electric View Finder)
unit is currently only available on Sony’s professional HDV
shoulder-mount camcorders.
The HVR-S270U camcorder features a new configuration
of a 3.2-inch (viewable area, measured diagnally) type
XtraFine LCD monitor (approximately 921,000 dots) and
an XtraFine EVF (approximately 1,227,000 dots,
852x3[RGB]x480)*. The LCD is located on the EVF unit. This
unique layout enables the camera operator to perform
both traditional EVF monitoring and LCD monitoring, while
the camcorder is held on the shoulder. The 180-degree
tilt mechanism allows for LCD monitoring when the
camcorder is held in a high or low-angle position,and the
270-degree swivel mechanism will allow LCD monitoring
from the front, right,or even left of the camcorder so that
a reporter or a director can monitor what is being
captured by the camcorder.
*When the camcorder is panned quickly or when an object in the
screen moves quickly,the primary colors of R/G/B may be seen on the
object in the EVF momentarily.
