Explanation of Terms
ª Digital Video System
In a digital video system, images and sounds are
converted into digital signals and recorded on a
tape. This complete digital recording is capable of
recording and playback with minimal image and
sound deterioration.
In addition, it automatically records data, such as
Time Code and Date/Time, as digital signals.
Compatibility with S-VHS or VHS Cassettes
Because this Movie Camera employs a digital
system for recording image and sound data, it is
not compatible with conventional S-VHS or VHS
video equipment that employs an analog
recording system.
The size and shape of the Cassettes are also
different.
Compatibility with Output Signals
Because AV signal output from the AV signal
output socket is analog (the same as
conventional video systems), this Movie Camera
can be connected with S-VHS or VHS video or a
TV for playback.

ª Time Code
Time Code signals are data that indicate time
measured in hours, minutes, seconds, and
frames (25 frames per second). If this data is
included in a recording, an address is assigned to
each image on the tape.

part of the sub-code at each recording.
≥When a new (previously unrecorded) Cassette
is inserted, the Time Code automatically starts
from zero. If a recorded Cassette is inserted,
the Time Code picks up from the point where
the last scene was recorded. (In this case, when
the Cassette is inserted, the zero display
[0h00m00s00f] may appear, but the Time Code
starts from the previous value.)
