The Sony DNW-9WS makes it easy and cost effective to bridge the transition from the 4:3 world to the growing world of 16:9. Equipped with 2/3" CCDs, it incorporates 10-bit / 36 MHz signal processing and the superb picture quality of Betacam SX digital recording format. Highly mobile in the field with an operating weight of less than 14 lbs., the DNW-9WS is shorter in length with a lower center of gravity than a 1/2" CCD analog camera. It also has an integrated slot for a wireless receiver, a Power Tap connector to power on-camera lights, set-up card efficiency for operator preferences and video parameters and an internal system for generating an edit decision list.
Set-up cards allow you to store all the set-up parameters for one camera or one operator. Each operator may store his /her own functional preferences and carry them to different cameras. Also, different shooting situations may require changing set-ups. Set-up cards offer complex changes quickly, even in the field.
