[. . . ] High Definition Video System TM HD Digital Camcorder HDW-730S H DW - 7 3 0 S Since they were first introduced in 2000 and 2002 respectively, the HDW-750 and HDW-750P HD multi-frame-rate camcorders have been used in scores of production and broadcast applications around the world. Thanks to their outstanding picture performance, high operability, and rock-steady reliability inherited from the BetacamTM family of acquisition products, they have been utilized as the core acquisition devices in applications such as digital cinematography, television program productions, commercial productions and sporting event coverage. [. . . ] In addition to the HD-SDI output, it offers SD-SDI or analog composite output with the optional HKDW-702 Down Converter Board. With this capability, HDCAM-originated content cannot only be viewed with an HDTV monitor, but also using an existing SDTV monitor. Slow Shutter OFF 32 Frames Shot Mark Handling The HDW-730S is capable of recording shot marks (time code for `good' shots) and shot data (data, shot ID, cassette number, etc. ) to tape. When a tape containing shot marks is played back on an HDW-2000 series VTR, the shot mark positions are automatically detected and a list of all marks is generated for display on the video monitor. This allows operators to easily select and cue-up to the scene of previously selected as "good" shots. Always Ready to Capture an Image Picture Cache Recording is a scene saving function of the HDW-730S camcorder that can be employed by using the optional HKDW-703 Picture Cache Board. Up to 7 seconds* (1060/60i format) of audio and video signals are buffered into memory before the Rec button is even pressed. This means that everything that happened 7 seconds before the Rec button was pressed, while in Standby mode, can still be recorded to tape. Having this capability can prevent the loss of important events that occur before the operator even has the chance to press the Rec button. *Up to 8 seconds can be buffered in 1080/50i fomat. Quick Setup The HDW-730S incorporates the Sony Memory StickTM system for the storage and instant recall of setup parameters. This is an easy, effective system for storing and recalling camera setup parameters for individual scenes or the individual preferences of a camera operator, including the settings of assignable switches.

Extended Recording Time The HDW-730S provides a long recording time of up to 135 minutes when using the BP-GL95 Info Li-Ion Battery. This will meet a critical need for long operating time required especially from ENG camera crews. Specifications General Mass Approx. [. . . ] All non-metric weights and measurements are approximate.
