Overview
1-1 Features
The DVW-970/970P1) is a camcorder, in which a color
video camera using 2/3-inch high-definition CCDs of a
16:9 aspect ratio and a recorder of the Digital BETACAM
format are combined integrally. The camera’s CCDs have
approximately 1,000,000 picture elements (pixels) (the
number of effective pixels: approximately 500,000).
Its high imaging quality is established by the combination
of Power HAD2) EX CCDs and advanced digital signal
processing technologies. In addition to resistance to
vibration, dust, and moisture of the Betacam-series
camcorders, this unit has various functions that make it
ideal as a tool for ENG3) and EFP4).
1) The DVW-970 is for the NTSC broadcast system. The DVW-970P is for
the PAL broadcast system. The description given in this manual applies to
both models, any differences being clearly noted in the text.
2) Abbreviation of “Power Hole-Accumulated Diode.” “Power HAD” is a
registered trademark of Sony Corporation.
3) ENG: Electronic News Gathering
4) EFP: Electronic Field Production
1-1-1 Camera Features
2/3-inch Power HAD EX CCDs
The high sensitivity, low smear 2/3-inch Power HAD EX
CCDs provide high image quality which is at the top of its
class.
• The unit is switchable between a 16:9 aspect ratio wide
image and 4:3 standard aspect ratio.
• You can select an interlaced scan mode or progressive
scan mode (30 fps (frames per second)1) for the DVW-
970, 25 fps for the DVW-970P).
• With the optional CBK-FC01 Pull Down Board
installed, a 24 fps2) progressive scan video can be
recorded subjected to pull-down (24P mode), providing
imaging quality close to that of film (DVW-970 only).
1) More precisely, 29.97 fps
2) More precisely, 23.98 fps
Camera signal processing for high quality
video
• The 14-bit A/D converter provides stable high-quality
images and reliability.
• The high-performance electronic shutter allows you to
select extended clear scan mode (ECS1)) and high
vertical resolution mode (EVS2)), to obtain clear, high-
quality video.
1) ECS: Extended Clear Scan
2) EVS: Super Enhanced Vertical Definition System
Shooting functions to cope with different
shooting conditions
• A slow shutter function (up to 1/2 second) is provided as
a standard feature. This allows noiseless shooting under
very poor lighting conditions and a variety of expressive
possibilities, such as shots of moving subjects which are
smoothed out by afterimages.
• Owing to the scene file function, you can easily recall
sets of adjustment values from the built-in memory, to
match the particular lighting conditions.
• The ATW1) function provides automatic white balance
adjustment in response to changing lighting conditions.
• The TruEyeTM 2) process yields distortion-free video,
even with high intensity colors.
• The TURBO GAIN button enables an instantaneous
boost of the video gain to the maximum 48 dB.
1) ATW: Auto Tracing White balance
2) TruEye: “TruEye” is a registered trademark of Sony Corporation.
Wide range of menu settings
The menus provide the following operations, among
others:
• Status display, message, and marker display settings
• Camera adjustment settings
• Switch function assignment
• “Memory Stick” operations
You can also assign any settings to the USER menu, to
create customized menus.
12 Features
Chapter 1 Overview
Saving and recalling settings in a “Memory
Stick”
Using an optional “Memory Stick” 1), you can save menu
settings for particular shooting conditions, for recall as
required.
1) “Memory Stick” is a trademark of Sony Corporation.
High-functionality viewfinder
The 2-inch monochrome viewfinder allows accurate
focusing.
The switch settings, automatic black balance and white
balance items, status, warnings and so on appear on the
viewfinder screen.
Remote control connectors
By connecting an optional RM-B150/B750 or similar
remote control unit, you can control the camera settings of
this unit externally.
1-1-2 VTR Features
Digital BETACAM format
• Use of the Digital BETACAM format provides superior
S/N, frequency range, waveform characteristics, and
reproducibility of details for high quality video and
audio.
• A long recording time of approximately 40 minutes for
the DVW-970 and 48 minutes for the DVW-970P is
achieved.
Metadata for easier and more comfortable
operation
It is possible to record recording-start markers and good-
shot markers on the tape while shooting, and search
automatically for required cuts when editing.
Time Code operations inevitable in
broadcasting
• LTC1) and VITC2) recording and LTC playback can be
performed.
• The built-in time code generator can be synchronized
with an external generator.
• A lithium battery is the back-up power supply for the
built-in time code generator enabling the time code to be
held for approximately 5 years without being charged
(with the camcorder power supply).
• The time code can be displayed in the LCD window
screen even when the power is off. The automatic power
shut-off function allows you to set the time when the
time code display disappears.
1) LTC: Longitudinal Time Code
2) VITC: Vertical Interval Time Code
Audio functions
• A slot-in UHF portable tuner WRR-855A/855B (not
supplied) can be attached.
• Four channels of 20-bit digital audio can be recorded, as
well as four channels of 16-bit digital audio.
• When an audio cable is connected to the AUDIO IN CH-
1/CH-2 connectors (XLR 3-pin), the audio signals input
to the XLR 3-pin connectors are recorded regardless of
the AUDIO IN switch setting. This function is called the
XLR connection automatic detection function.
• The AUDIO OUT connector (XLR 5-pin) allows the
camcorder to output signals as stereo audio.
Other VTR functions
• Recording continuity from the very next frame is
ensured.
• It is possible to automatically rewind and review the last
2 seconds of the recording on the tape for a quick check
immediately after shooting.
• A 4-times-normal speed search function provides quick
positioning of the tape.
• The camcorder searches for the most recently recorded
cut and records the new cut over it. This function is
called the RE-TAKE function.
• The camcorder searches for the point most recently
recorded on the tape and automatically switches to
paused recording mode (REC pause). This function is
called the End Search function.
1-1-3 Other Features
Proper balancing design
A new shoulder-pad system that enables position
adjustment in the front-to-rear direction with no need to
use a tool ensures proper balance when using the unit.
Instant operation assignable switches
Function-assignable switches are provided on the side
panel. Assigning the functions most useful to you, by
selecting them on the menu pages, will create a smooth
shooting environment.
Function extension interface and optional
boards
• An extension connector can be attached to the battery
attachment on the rear panel, to allow various camera
adapters to be fitted.
• Use of the following optional boards permits you to
expand the functions.
