DMC 1000 Digital Media Camcorder User’s Guide (v1.15) 13
Chapter 1 - Introduction
1.1.6 User interface
Camcorder operators can manipulate the camcorder through traditional controls for standard
operation and through a touch screen display. The built-in user interface supports video
monitoring, clip management, audio setup and metering, and detailed camcorder
configuration.
You can also use the LCP 400 application to control the camcorder. Running on a Windows
Mobile PDA or TouchPhone, it gives you access to all camera menus and settings — and lets
you change them while shooting. It displays audio levels and, thanks to its extremely low
latency, lets you make critical adjustments to audio parameters such as gain. You can create
and edit metadata such as names, dates, slugs, locations and even camera settings before,
during or after recording.
1.1.7 Enhancing your workflows
The Infinity Digital Media Camcorder enhances your existing workflow today, while allowing
you to move to more efficient IT workflows in the future. You can use the camcorder’s storage
media just like videotape in tape-based workflows. The only difference is that you use digital
media recorders and digital media drives as tape machine substitutes. However, Infinity Series
products offer more than videotape replacement. In nonlinear editing environments, for
example, you can also connect a REV PRO drive or CompactFlash card reader to a workstation
for direct access.
