1/2" 3-CCD DV Camcorder
with Full CCU Control
26-Pin Interface
GY-DV550U
The GY-DV550U is the only DV camcorder in the world
to offer full CCU control. With its 26-pin interface, the
GY-DV550U can be used in a studio environment where
multiple remote camera and ISO-Cam operations are
required. This interface allows the user to connect a
remote controller or external data storage system. In
addition, recording on DV benefits customers who use
this system either in live broadcast situations, live
webcasting, or ENG applications, as well as
assignments where post-production work is required
later. Because you can take advantage of its superior
picture and sound performance in a studio environment,
DV makes it possible to put together a fully digital end-to-
end system that’s reliable and cost-efficient.
The EFP connects
directly to the
GY-DV550U, giving you
the ability to adjust video
parameters at any time
during the production.

SMPTE TC connectors are
provided, allowing you to
synchronize simultaneous
shooting with multiple
camcorders.
To meet increasing demand for a
digital camcorder that can easily be
incorporated in complex production
systems, the GY-DV550U is
equipped with a genlocking function
that includes SC lock to ensure high-resolution pictures.
For added convenience, the genlock input connector
doubles as a composite video input, so you can use the
GY-DV550U as a standard video recorder. This
connector can be used for camera pool applications as
well.
The GY-DV550U can display
return video signals from
the CCU or an external
VTR on the viewfinder
or TelePrompTer
signals from the
camera control
unit may be
output via a BNC
connector, assuring
full support for
studio
program production.
The GY-DV550U uses a
standard professional 1/2"
bayonet lens mount, making it
compatible with
the widest
selection of
lenses.
This allows high-quality compressed digital video signal
transfer directly to a computer, a non-linear editing
system, or to another DV recorder. Producers can now
digitally spool directly to a non-linear editing platform
without loss, and then transfer the finished product
directly back to video tape using the camera alone.
Using the 26-pin camera cable, you can connect the
GY-DV550U to a portable recorder for backup in the
field or to a camera remote controller for use in
studio.
