Camera Setup Files
A total of eight camera-setup files are provided and displayed by the
Viewfinder Menu system. The five factory preset files
–
Standard,
High Saturation, Fluorescent, Film-like and S-VHS/VHS
–
allow
operators to instantly setup the camera to match particular shooting
conditions. For instance, by selecting the Film-like mode, camera
settings including camera gamma and color matrix are automatically
setup to give the output a film-like look. In addition to these five
factory settings, three user files are available to customize camera
parameters for frequently used shooting environments. With the
SetUpNavi™ function, the user files and factory-preset files can also
be stored on the VAUX portion of a DVCAM tape.

Freeze Mix function
The Freeze Mix function superimposes a previously recorded image on
the viewfinder. This allows the operator to quickly and easily frame or
reposition a subject when a shot must be taken from the same position
or in the same framework as a previous take. Combined with the
SetUpLog™ function, this simplifies retakes.

interface (DV output only) for digital signal output. This enables recording
to compatible DV and DVCAM VTRs using just one i.LINK cable,
which carries digital video/audio and control signals simultaneously.
Connect the DSR-570WS or DSR-390 to the Sony DSR-70A/70AP

control area is kept concealed.
DVCAM recording
The VTR sections of both the DSR-570WS and DSR-390 use
the Sony DVCAM format, providing the video and audio quality,
and the reliability necessary for professional use. For excellent
picture quality, superb multi-generation capabilities and excellent
production flexibility, these camcorders feature 8-bit component
digital recording, with a 5:1 compression ratio and a sampling
rate of 4:1:1 (NTSC)/4:2:0 (PAL).
The DSR-570WS and DSR-390 can use both mini (PDVM Series)
and standard (PDV Series) cassettes. Using the standard PDV-184ME
cassette, these camcorders provide a maximum recording time
of 184 minutes. They can also playback the consumer DV format
– another great advantage of these DVCAM camcorders.
Or connect to a Sony
DSR-50/50P portable
DVCAM recorder, and
control its Rec On/Off
function remotely with the
Rec On/Off button of the
DSR-570WS or DSR-390.
