2-1 Overview
2-1-1 Features
The HKDW-704 GPS Unit is an option board that can be installed in a
camcorder.
Installation of this board allows you to receive data from earth-orbiting
satellites, record shooting position on a tape or a "Memory Stick" and
display the shooting position and a locus on a monitor using mapping
software.
Note
It is necessary to set a line number to output the GPS data to be recorded
on a tape to the HD(SD) SDI signal of studio-use equipment. The data is
not output if the line number is set to 00, the factory setting.
For detailed information on how to set the line number, see "1-2-1 Confirming/
Setting the Line Number" on page 1-4.
This unit has the following features:
• The unit is compact so as it can be installed in a camcorder for
receiving GPS data.
• Two kinds of GPS antenna are supplied with an option board HKDW-
704, one has a short antenna cord and the other has a long antenna
cord. Thus, a long cord can be used as an external antenna. When
shooting, for example, inside a vehicle where it is difficult to receive
radio waves, you can attach the long GPS antenna to a place where
radio waves can be easily received (on the dash board, rear deck, roof,
etc.).
• Since the board is backed up using a lithium battery in the camcorder,
the time required to complete a geodetic survey is shortened.
