The unit is a solid CCD camera recorder integrating 2/3-inch 2.2-megapixel components that support interlaced/progressive 
drive (reading all pixels) and record/playback that supports the compression format for AVC-Intra100, AVC-Intra50 and 
DVCPRO HD, DVCPRO50, DVCPRO and DV.
The unit supports the HD and SD methods shown in the following table. The unit is also equipped with CAC (chromatic 
aberration correction function for the magnification ratio chromatic aberration of lenses), Scan Reverse (corrects images when 
Anamo lenses or lenses for film applications are used), and the film-like gamma function.
For recording, the compression and recording methods are selectable among AVC-Intrra100, AVC-Intra50, DVCPRO HD, 
DVCPRO50, DVCPRO and DV. Since minimal image deterioration occurs when recording with AVC-Intra 100 compression in 
particular, high image quality can be retained.
