DVW 970

DVW 970 Digital Betacam Why upgrade? Sony has its own industry-standard Digital Betacam camcorders, the DVW-790, a new model, which have the name, by the end of the last three numbers up to 970th How can their model numbers? I don? T know. But I can listen to our reservations desk? Just to confirm that it was not 7-90 and 9-70. You may ask, why was the Sony Digital Betacam with a lot of people think high definition is about to take. Well, for the UK market, we have the DVW-790 in the most 'popular camera and the demand from our customers for Digital Betacam and DVCAM is still much stronger than the demand for HDCAM. (I don? T is the HVR-Z1 in this discussion because we consider an essential element for the update PD170P, because it is true widescreen and better pictures in DV, DVCAM and HDV. If? Q more information, please contact us at 'Z1 E-Mail-cal@procamtv.com address for an e-zine at the beginning of this year). There are increasing demands for high definition that there were also three or four months, but the applications are more expensive models (HDW-750 and HDW-F900), and not for the HDW-730, which costs only a little 'more than 790 for rent, mainly because the lenses in high definition you have with them cost considerably more than standard definition lenses. If I? Ve lost, please send an e-mail (cal@procamtv.com) to view a copy of the e-zine about the world of high definition.Getting back to the question of why Digital Betacam was updated, I can only imagine that Sony has demand for the format continues to be strong and the DVW-790 has been in place since the late anni'90 it was time for a new model. The DVW-970 has new features that are useful and I? Ll now.790 this point? 970: What? S is the difference? Our first DVW-970 only a few days ago, so our engineers had no time to try. His observations are: offers progressive scan recording at 25 frames per second for a film to see   It has 14-bit A / D (analog to digital) conversion compared to 12 bit on 790 so theoretically should be better images   About one-stop more sensitive to the DVW-790 more useful in low light conditions.   4 channels of audio than 20-bit 2-channel audio at 790   Reach saturation settings, which means that if you want to set the menu to get more saturated colors you can with a 790   Some additional comments: The 970, and HDCAM as the DSR-450 camcorder uses a Memory Stick and not as a set-up card to store your personal settings.The menu settings of the camera are comparable to those at 790, but the functions of menus are different. The menu settings are in accordance with the DSR-450 (the latest Sony DVCAM) set-up which is similar to the menu HDCAM. This is significantly different from that set-up on 790, so there will be some new users' time to adjust to the bottom line is it.The, if you are using the 970, may be an hour or so first to scroll to shoot with someone who knows the configuration menu. We can always use help that.SummaryIt is beginning, but our first impression is that the 970 is a step 790. (I just wish Sony had opted for a different number to identify its new model). It offers a better block-CCD, progressive scan, four-channel audio and other features of the 790 doesn? T. We? Ll have to see now is in use for several months to provide feedback on the appearance of images and ease of use and reliability.Last month? S QuestionThe response to last month? That number was the strongest? Ve ever had - perhaps because a bottle of champagne on offer to personally e-mail the correct answer. The issue is that this line is:? Thirty meters, has seen how much class. Ten meters away, that something seemed to thirty meters away. The response was Raymond Chandler. Several people, including the correct title of the novel, in its answer: The High Window. Good to know: There are a multitude of Chandler fans out there. Or make the Inteet easy to answer? This month? S QuestionSame price as last month. A bottle of champagne for the first-person e-mail the correct answer. But in this month? Question is more difficult. E 'from a book of speeches by a non-EU with his observations about Europe after his visit to the continent as part of a jouey to show 1899-1900. The question is: who? S is the word? This excerpt from the book of his speeches will cover some of his thoughts about money, or? Round metal and heavy paper. Here it is:? Without money, not your hunger or thirst, neither you, nor to find a mat in his sleep at night. You must pay for the land on which we walk on the soil on which your present spending the night sleeping on a mattress, in the light that illuminates your hut. You pay so that you shoot a dove or a swim in a river. If you want to go to a place where people are happy, whether singing or dancing, or if you want to seek advice from your brother, there are too many round metal or heavy paper. You must pay for everything. Good luck with this one.If questions or comments please send an E-Mail-cal@procamtv.comUntil next time, happy shooting.Cal Barton,   PROCAM TelevisionCal began work in television for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in Vancouver in 1982.
