Highest Image Quality
■ Three 1⁄2˝ Frame Interline Transfer (FIT)
CCDs, each with 380,000 pixels, delivers
750 lines of horizontal resolution with
minimum smear.
■ High sensitivity of f/8.0 at 2000 lux and
minimum illumination of 1.5 lux (Super
High Gain Mode). With an S/N ratio of
60 dB, Supercam consistently delivers
high quality images.
■ Employs laminated amorphous video
heads which have higher magnetic coer-
civity than conventional ferrite heads.
Extended color signal frequency response
from the amorphous heads enhances pic-
ture quality by minimizing color blurring.
Audio
■ Four tracks of audio feature two Hi-Fi
channels with a dynamic range of 80dB
and a frequency response from 20Hz to
20kHz. The other two channels are the
linear tracks with Dolby NR. Normal/
Hi-Fi recording is selectable. Uses XLR
connectors to further ensure high quality
sound.
■ Built-in 9v DC phantom power source
can supply power to an optional mic.
Power can be switched off to prevent bat-
tery drain when not in use. A low cut fil-
ter switch is also included to reduce the
effects of wind noise.
Synchro Scan
■ Synchro Scan function allows flicker-free
shooting of computer monitors. Computer
monitors have a different scan rate which
would normally appear as flicker. Synchro
Scan enables electronic shutter speeds to
be variably set in increments from 1⁄61.9
to 1⁄253.7 of a second.
■ In addition to Synchro Scan, there is a
variable 8-speed electronic shutter with
speeds from 1⁄100 to 1⁄8000 of a second.
Time Code Operation
■ Built-in SMPTE Time Code generator
records either VITC (Vertical Interval) or
LTC (Longitudinal) Time Code and User
Bits (UB). Time Code can be selected as
DF/ND and Record Run/ Free Run. In
record run, Time Code runs only in record
mode; in free run, time code runs continu-
ously (even in pause).
26-Pin Connector
■ You can simultaneously record on the
Supercam and an external VCR. A
26-pin VTR connector feeds composite
or component signals directly from the
camera section to a portable VCR
equipped with a 26 or 14-pin connector.
VCR functions, such as Start/Stop, can
be controlled from the Supercam through
the 26-pin interface.
1.5˝ Viewfinder
■ 1.5˝ removable, Quick Start viewfinder
with 550 lines of resolution for easy
focusing. Safety zone and center markers
allow you to accurately frame subjects as
they are seen on normal TVs. Also fea-
tures a built-in color bar generator (Field
Bars) and zebra video level indicator.
Compact Design
■ Extremely compact and lightweight,
Supercam weighs only 13.2 lbs. with lens.
Superbly crafted ergonomic design pro-
vides hours of well balanced, extremely
comfortable operation. Combines state-
of-the-art electronics with high density
packaging for extremely low power con-
sumption of only 21 watts — even in
record mode.
Additional Features
● Besides Center/Normal Zone switchable
auto iris control, there is a Super Iris
mode for backlight compensation.
● Auto White Balance/Auto Black Balance
● 2-way white balance memory
● Built-in speaker on the side of the camera,
as well as a headphone output
● Record/Review function lets you check
the last recorded section of the tape to
ensure error-free operation.
