Operational Versatility

Picture Profile TM Feature
Up to six different picture-tonal settings can be saved in the
memory with custom 12-character names as picture profiles
on the HVR-V1U and displayed on the LCD monitor at the
touch of a button. This allows operators to easily call up
customized picture-tonal settings to suit particular shooting
conditions, rather than having to readjust the camera each
time. The factory default setting includes six pre-loaded
picture profiles for typical shooting conditions.
Last Scene Review
At the touch of a button, the video and audio of the last shot
taken by the HVR-V1U can be instantly played back on the
LCD monitor. This is achieved without even having to switch
from "Camera mode" to "VTR mode". After
tape is automatically cued up to the end of the last shot to
continue back space editing. These features allow operators
to seamlessly shoot and review material.
Playback Zoom
Using the playback zoom function of the HVR-V1U, a
selected area of the recorded HD images can be enlarged
and played back on the LCD monitor and viewfinder,
allowing operators to perform a detailed evaluation of the
material. These enlarged images can also be output in SD
format via the i.LINK and analog connectors, allowing
operators to cut out parts of the HD image and use them as
SD material.
TC LINK Function
for Multi-camera Operations
Using the TC LINK function, the time code of the HVR-V1U
can be synchronized with another camcorder such as the
HVR-Z1U, DSR-PD170, or a second HVR-V1U. By connecting
the HVR-V1U to another i.LINK compatible camcorder via an
i.LINK cable and activating this function, the HVR-V1U's time
code generator will switch to free-run mode and reset its
time code to that provided from the connected camcorder.
Once the time code of the HVR-V1U is synchronized*
i.LINK cable can be disconnected, and the next HVR-V1U
that needs synchronized time code can be set up.
TC LINK is a convenient function when using the HVR-V1U in
multi-camera operations, such as live-event recording and
stage-shooting applications.
