Main Features
Camera & Microphone Rotate 180°
Having the option to rotate the microphones and camera front and back 180° increases one's possibilities for various camera angles and placement
Supports High-Quality TASCAM Audio Standards
The DR-V1HD has the same high-quality audio circuit as the rest of the DR-series. It features a S/N ratio greater 90dB and THD less than 0.02%. Plus, the adopted AD/DA is CIRRUS LOGIC's popular audio codec
VSA (Variable-Speed-Audition) Function
The DR-V1HD has TASCAM's popular VSA (variable-speed-audition), which is used on a variety of other products and has become an integral function for all of the DR recorders. The VSA provides speed-control without changing pitch (50-150%)
Built-In Photographic Function
The DR-V1HD has three (movie, audio, photograph) operation modes. The photograph mode offers the ability to take still photos, view them separately or view them in a slideshow and link any audio files on the device to a single snap shot
5.5 Hours of Operation Off of Three AA Batteries
Powered by three AA batteries, the DR-V1HD (in HD mode) will capture up to 4.5 hours of continuous video shooting. In SD mode, it will capture up to 5.5 hours of continuous video shooting
Designed to Increase Ease-of-Use
Designed for use in a variety of environments, the DR-V1HD offers different settings to accommodate one's surroundings. Some of the options include white balance adjustments designed for Stage Light, Bulb Light, FL Light, Sunlight and Cloudy. It also features auto white-balance
Same Condenser Microphones as the DR-2d
The DR-V1HD has the same high-quality mounted uni-directional condenser microphones as the highly acclaimed DR-2d
Rotary Volume for Fine-Tuned Adjustments
TASCAM understands the importance of input level adjustment and uses rotary volume control in order to provide the ability to fine-tune one's settings
Designed to Achieve "Real" Sound
A mic-unit, even uni-directional, needs sufficient space from all angles to gather "real" sound. TASCAM has made sure to supply enough space around its mic-units to achieve the highest quality sound and designed a specific support arm for this reason
Installed Multiplex Guard to Shield Electrical Noise
A converted audio signal is affected by electrical noise. So, to ensure you're getting the highest quality sounds TASCAM placed a metal plate under the mic-units to guard the noise. In addition, the metal meshes around the mic-units help with this as well
