Slot-in mechanism
accommodates wireless
microphone receiver
An optional Sony wireless microphone receiver,
the WRR-855A/855B, slots
directly into the camcorder
body without requiring a
cable connection. This
maintains camcorder balance
and keeps the body compact
to avoid any loss of mobility.

camera setup parameters
The MSW-900 incorporates the Sony “Memory Stick”
system for the storage and recall of setup parameters.
This is an easy, effective system for storing and recalling
camera parameters for individual scenes, plus individual
operators’ camera setup preferences that include the
settings of assignable switches.
Turbo gain
The MSW-900 provides the Turbo Gain function,
boosting the gain level up to +48 dB at the
touch of a button. This makes it possible to
shoot in extremely low light conditions.
High-quality audio recordings
Audio can be recorded in either 20 or 16-bit
resolution. The recording format provides up to
four channels of 20-bit mode and eight channels
in 16-bit mode. Up to four channels can be
recorded in either mode by the camcorder.
If recordings are made on channels 1-4 in the
8-channel, 16-bit mode, then channels 5-8 are
available for use with a studio VTR. The inputs
to audio tracks 1-4 can be accessed by any four
microphones connected to the camcorder
including the front microphone, and additional
wired or wireless microphones.
The camcorder utilizes a 20-bit A/D converter
instead of the 16-bit type to maximize sound
quality.
Intelligent light system
An optional portable light (max. 50 W) can be directly attached to the
camcorder, using a standard lighting connector and a specially
designed short cable for operation on the comcorder’s battery. The
light can be switched on and off manually, or automatically
synchronized with the REC Start function of the camcorder.

are 1/4ND, 1/16ND, 1/64ND, and CLEAR.
Assignable buttons
Two assignable buttons are provided to assign
functions frequently used in the field. The
assigned functions can be operated with a single
action of touching the button, thus increasing
operational efficiency. The following functions
can be assigned.
Push button: off, loop rec on/off, test out
character on/off, marker on/off, re-take, ATW,

Tele-File
TM
system
The Sony Tele-File system stores and recalls various types
of production data, such as shot data and shot marks, onto
and from a cassette label with a built-in memory IC. The
camcorder is equipped as standard with a Tele-File
reader/writer module, allowing this information to be
managed electronically. Use of the Tele-File system can
significantly raise efficiency in the subsequent editing
process and management of archives.
Shot mark and shot data handling
The MSW-900 is capable of recording shot marks (time
codes for ‘good’ shots) and shot data (date, shot ID,
cassette number etc.) to the tape. When a tape
containing shot marks is played back on an MSW-2000
series VTR, the shot mark positions are automatically
detected and a list of all marks is generated for display on
a video monitor. This allows operators to easily select and
cue-up to the scene of interest. The shot marks and shot
data can be utilized for a wide range of applications to
provide more efficiency in the production chain.
