The MSW-900 is a 2/3-inch type 16:9/4:3 widescreen camcorder for the MPEG IMX format, recording 50 Mbs MPEG 4:2:2P@ML, I-frame video. Interlace or progressive recording, switchable to 60i or 30P. Telefile shot metadata system and 4 channels of 20 bit audio recording. Options available include: Video Cache Recording , SDI output, and "Pool Feed" composite input. The MSW-900 employs a newly developed high-performance Digital Signal Processing LSI. This device provides comprehensive and precise control over the high quality images produced by the camcorder. The MSW-900 is equipped with dual optical filters for Color Correction (CC) and Neutral Density (ND) for flexible color and exposure control. The MSW-900 offers an Auto Tracing White Balance (ATW) function that automatically adjusts the camera's color temperature in real time with a change of lighting. This is especially useful when a shoot is performed across different environments, such as from indoors to outdoors. The MSW-900 can record shot marks and shot data to the tape. They can be utilized in a wide range of applications to raise efficiency in the production chain.
