Operational Versatility - Sony MSW-970 Brochure & Specs

Operational versatility

Rugged and Ergonomic Design
The design of the MSW-970 is based on years of Sony experience in camera ergonomics,
and provides high mobility and balance. All switches, indicators, and an LCD
panel are in the most logical places and are positioned for optimum functionality and
ease of use. Operators will immediately feel at home with the MSW-970, which takes
user comfort to new levels.
Compact, Lightweight, and Low Power Consumption
The MSW-970 is designed to be extremely compact and lightweight, providing a high
level of mobility in the field. It weighs approximately 11 lb. 14 oz. (5.4 kg) including a
viewfinder, microphone, BP-GL95 Battery Pack, and BCT-60MX cassette tape. With its
new-generation LSI, the camcorder achieves a low power consumption of just 27W.
Versatile Interfaces
The MSW-970 provides an analog composite output as standard, with an SDI output
board (the CBK-SD01) available as a plug-in option. An optional composite input board
(the MSDW-904) is also available for pool feed applications. These optional boards
install within the camcorder chassis to eliminate the need for an external camera
adaptor unit, maintaining the compactness and balance of the camcorder.
Camera Remote Control
Camera settings and basic VTR
functions can be remotely controlled
using an optional RM-B150 or
RM-B750 Remote Control Unit via
its 8-pin remote connector.

temperature optically or electronically,
according to their needs.
