Explanation of Terms
ª
Digital Video System
In a digital video system, images and sounds are
converted into digital signals and recorded on a
tape. This complete digital recording is capable of
recording and playback with minimal image and
sound deterioration.
In addition, it automatically records data, such as
Time Code and Date/Time, as digital signals.
Compatibility with S-VHS or VHS Cassettes
Because this Camcorder employs a digital
system for recording image and sound data, it is
not compatible with conventional S-VHS or VHS
video equipment that employs an analog
recording system.
The size and shape of the Cassettes are also
different.
Compatibility with Output Signals
Because AV signal output from the AV signal
output jack is analog (the same as conventional
video systems), this Camcorder can be
connected with S-VHS or VHS video or a TV for
playback.
