Picture Cache Board (Optional)

The optional HKDW-703 Picture Cache Board provides up to
seven seconds (HDW-750)/eight seconds (HDW-750CE) of
loop recording using solid state memory. Thus, when the
REC start button is pressed, everything that happened up to
seven seconds before that moment can be recorded to tape.
Just imagine – if something unexpected happens in front of
your camera, the operator will still have up to seven seconds
of that event stored in RAM before being able to hit the
record button. There is a choice of recording for 0, 1, 2, 3,
4, 5, 6, or 7 seconds
for 60i format (HDW-
750/HDW-730)/0, 1, 2,
3, 4, 5, 6, or 8 seconds
for 50i format (HDW-
750CE/HDW-730). 

For More Conveniences

Remote Control Unit – RM-B750
(Optional)

The RM-B750 Remote Control Unit has been designed to
establish a highly mobile and fully controllable camera sys-
tem in the field by integrating control capability equivalent to
a Master Set-up Unit into a compact unit powered from the
device to be controlled.    
The RM-B750 can be connected directly to the HDW-
750/730. Combination of an LCD touch-panel screen and
direct push buttons enables full parameter adjustment of the
camera to be controlled.  When necessary, basic tape trans-
port functions of the camcorder can be controlled. For further
operational convenience, the RM-B750 has a Memory Stick
media card slot so that various setup parameters can be
stored and transferred between camcorders.  

*

VTR REC START/STOP can be assigned to assignable switch.   

Down Converter Board (Optional)

The optional Down Converter Board HKDW-702 enables
Standard Definition output with four channel audio 
embedded. SD-SDI or analog composite can be selected via
camcorder’s set up menu.
