Sony HVR-S270E - Manual (Page 16)

16
The HVR-S270E offers videographers a
traditional “on-the-shoulder” feel with the
benefits of increased camera stability and
longer recording time of up to 4.5 hours with
standard size cassettes.
✜ Standard-size Cassette Compatibility
A standard-size cassette tape provides approximately 4.5
hours of HDV/DV recording or approximately 3 hours of
DVCAM recording. Of course, recording on a miniDV
tape is still an option.
✜ HD/SD-SDI & Other Output Connectors
An HD/SD-SDI output connector provides embedded
audio and TC data and can, for example, be linked up to
an XDCAM HD deck.
BNC connectors provide secure cabling connections.
✜ BP Series Battery Compatible
V-lock professional BP batteries are another great feature
in common with broadcast camcorders.
✜ Smooth Slow Rec
As with the HVR-Z7E, the HVR-S270E camcorder enables
slow-motion playback by capturing images four times
faster than the normal field rate (200 fields/s).
✜ Four-channel Audio Input
Four-channel audio recording is reali sed in HDV and
DVCAM thanks to four XLR audio input connectors – two
at the front, and two at the back.

✜ "Dual Finder" New LCD Position on EVF Unit
The new LCD position on the EVF (Electric View Finder)
unit is currently only available on Sony’s professional HDV
shoulder-mount camcorders.
The HVR-S270E camcorder features a new configuration
of a 3.2-inch type XtraFine LCD monitor (approximately
921,000 dots) and an XtraFine EVF (approximately
1,227,000 dots, 852x480x3 (RGB))*. The LCD is located on
the EVF unit. This unique layout enables the camera
operator to perform both traditional EVF monitoring and
LCD monitoring, while the camcorder is held on the
shoulder. The 180-degree tilt mechanism allows for LCD
monitoring when the camcorder is held in a high or
low-angle position
. The 270-degree swivel mechanism
will allow LCD monitoring from the front, right,
or even left of the camcorder so that a reporter or
a
director can monitor what is being captured by the
camcorder.
*When the camcorder is panned quickly or when an object in the
screen moves quickly, the primary colo
urs of R/G/B may be seen on the
object in the EVF momentarily.
