HDW-S280 Digital Video Recorder
AC/DC or Battery-powered
Operation
The HDW-S280 recorder can operate on AC,
DC and battery* power, greatly increasing its
flexibility for field productions. The recorder
also achieves low power consumption,
enabling up to 80 minutes of operating time
using the optional BP-GL95 battery.
* To use with a battery, the optional BKP-L551 battery adaptor
is required.
Backspace and Assemble
Editing
The HDW-S280 provides two types of editing
capability. Automatic backspace editing with
instant-start allows sequential recording,
without picture interference at transition
points. Assemble editing – including two-
machine editing – is also supported*.
* Frame accuracy is ±1 frame.
Sequential Recording Function
The record duration onto a small cassette is
up to 50 minutes at 24PsF, 48 minutes at 50i
and 40 minutes at 59.94i. Should a longer
record time be required, two decks can be
connected to record sequentially without a
break in the recording. Two minutes from the
end of the first tape, the second deck starts
recording and the tape in the first deck can
then be changed. An unlimited record time
can be achieved.
