New Power HAD EXTM CCD
Technology
Three 2/3 inch Power HAD EXTM CCDs provide a high sensitivity
of F11 and a signal-to-noise ratio of 63dB. Smear is reduced to
-145dB (typical)
Interlaced and progressive recording
The MSW-970P can record in both 625/50i interlaced mode and 625/25P
progressive mode. This allows the
camera operator to shoot either 50i "TV look" or 25P "Film
look" pictures.
Please note that 24P recording is not provided in the 625/50 MSW-970P
camcorder.
14 bit A/D conversion and Advanced Digital Signal Processing (ADSP)
The MSW-970P uses 14 bit A/D conversion to process captured images from
the CCDs with great precision. This provides a more accurate reproduction
of contrast in mid-to-dark tone and bright areas of the picture. Advanced
Digital Signal Processing, using more than 30 bits for non-linear
processing, also maintains the exceptionally high quality of image from
the CCDs. The ADSP also provides sophisticated image control including,
multi-matrix, triple skin tone detail and adaptive highlight control.
Ultimate sensitivity
The MSW-970P has a sensitivity of F11, and has a built-in slow shutter
feature. This feature allows the camcorder to slow its shutter speed down
to dramatically increase sensitivity when shooting in dark conditions. The
slow shutter feature also allows motion blur to be used as a creative tool
during acquisition.
High quality digital audio
Pictures count for little without great quality sound, and the
MSW-970P records 4 channels of digital audio, in either 16 bit or 20 bit
mode. Some MPEG IMX products such as the
MSW-M2000P/1 series VTR can record 8 channels of audio at 16 bit
resolution. When set to 16 bit mode, the MSW-970P records sound onto
tracks 1 to 4, but also records blank data on tracks 5 to 8. Additional
audio material can therefore be inserted into tracks 5 to 8 using an MPEG
IMX VTR during post production.
Compact, lightweight and low power consumption
The MSW-970P weighs approximately 5.4kg including viewfinder, microphone,
BP-GL95 Li-ion battery and BCT-60MX cassette. Power consumption has been
reduced to approximately 27W by the use of latest-generation IC technology.
Long recording duration onto MPEG IMX cassettes
Up to 60 minutes of material can be recorded onto an MPEG IMX cassette
when recording 50Mb/s MPEG-2 data.
Picture Cache recording
It's always annoying to miss a great shot, especially when shooting news
or sports footage. With the MSW-970P you have an additional chance to
capture the action even if it occurred before you started recording. An
optional MSDW-903 board can be installed into the MSW-970P to provide
picture cache recording. This allows you to capture the (up to) 8 seconds
of material immediately before you pressed the record button.
TruEye Processing
TruEye virtually eliminates hue distortion, especially in extreme lighting
conditions. TruEye processes videa data in a similar way to the human eye
- processing brightness, hue and saturation. This significantly improves
the reproduction of natural skin tones.
Auto Trace White
Auto Trace White (ATW) is a feature that automatically adjusts the white
balance as lighting conditions change. This is ideal when shooting in
rapidly changing lighting conditions (for example, when moving from an
indoor to an outdoor location).
Multi Matrix function
Multi Matrix provides further in-camera creative control and can be used
to match colourimetry during multiple camcorder shoots. It is also
effective for manipulating the hue and saturation of specific selected
colours within a scene. One example would be to adjust the hue and
saturation of a flower petal without changing other colours within the
picture.
Choice of video outputs
The MSW-970P has a composite video output as standard, and an optional SDI
output (CBK-SD01) can also be installed. A composite input board
(MSDW-904) can also be fitted to provide pool feed recording.
Slot-in wireless receiver
You can slot a Sony wireless receiver directly into the chassis of the
MSW-970P. This maintains balance, without compromising the compact
ergonomic design of the camcorder. A Sony
WRR-855A/B can be used.
Memory StickTM for storage of camcorder set-ups
A Memory Stick slot is provided for the storage and recall of set-up
parameters. You can store your favourite camcorder set ups, camcorder
settings for individual scenes and the settings of the user-assignable
switches for rapid configutaion of the camcorder at a later date.
