Sony MODEL HDW-F900 Camcorder User Manual


 
A
Appendix A-13
Horizontal resolution
The capability of a video camera or a display unit to preserve detail in
the horizontal direction. Usually expressed as the number of vertical
lines that can be distinguished in the reproduced image of a test chart.
Hunting
Repeated brightening and darkening of an image resulting from repeated
response to automatic iris control.
LTC
Longitudinal Time Code. A time code recorded along the tape in the
forward direction of a tape run. A VTR cannot reproduce LTC when
tape run stops to output a still picture. The output level is very low when
tape runs slowly, so an LTC read error is likely to occur while the VTR
is playing back in slow motion. See also Time code and VITC.
Memory stick
Memory stick is the removable storage media used with the camcorder.
You can easily save and delete the data.
ND filter
Neutral Density filter. ND filters reduce the amount of incident light
equally across the entire visible wavelength range without affecting
color.
Non-drop frame mode
Non-drop frame mode does not perform the processing of drop frame
mode. As a result, when the format of the camcorder is set to either
29.97 Psf or 59.94 I, there will be a discrepancy between the actual time
and the time code value of about 86 seconds in one day.
