DVCAM FEATURES / SPECIFICATIONS
DSR-PD170/PD170P Specifications
Digital Still Camera Functions with
Memory Stick
™
Media
The Memory Photo function allows the camera to be switched to
progressive scan mode for capturing still images. VGA-sized files
are recorded on the
Memory Stick
media. The Memory Mix
function can combine the still images stored on
Memory Stick media with camera video images.
Supplied Lens Hood with Built-in Lens Cap
This lens hood incorporates a lens cap that can
be opened or closed by using a lever located
on the side of the hood.
Supplied Wide Conversion Lens and
Additional Lens Hood
The high performance VCL-HG0758 Wide Conversion Lens
and its associated lens hood, LSF-S58 Lens Hood are bundled
with the DSR-PD170. The
LSF-S58 can serve as a lens
hood even when the Wide
Conversion Lens is not in use.
Other Functions
■
Date Stamping
Superimpose date onto image, selected by menu.
■
AV to DV Out
Convert analog input signals to DV signals.
Index Marking
When a Cassette Memory-equipped DVCAM/DV tape is used, an
Index can be marked while recording with the camera or
recording from an external video source.
This function allows quick access to the marked tape position in
subsequent operations.
Time Code Preset
The time code can be preset using any number in H/M/S/F
(hours/minutes/seconds/frames), for accurate tape-position
information. The time-code mode can be selected between
“rec-run” or “free run”. User bits can also be set.
Title Function
When using a Cassette Memory-equipped tape, titles can be set
and stored in the Cassette Memory for superimposition during
playback. This information is not burnt into the video signal, but
is overlaid only during the playback.
Fader
The DSR-PD170 provides five fading modes: Black Fade
(IN/OUT), Monotone Fade (fade from Black & White to color),
Overlap (last image becomes a still image and overlaps into the
new scene), Wipe and Dot.
