High Definition HDV Portable Video Recorder

 

 

 
 
     
  Features
 
 
Edit, review and record your video footage with this innovative, compact and portable device. The HDV™ Video Walkman® VCR boasts x.v.Color technology, capable of reproducing nearly twice the viewable colours as before. Your images will appear sharp and detailed from multiple angles while you edit with assignable buttons for the most commonly used functions. Crystal clear stills and slow-motion playback can be paused and zoomed in upon, then edited and cropped on the fly. Compatible with long-lasting L and M Series rechargeable InfoLITHIUM batteries, the GV-HD700 will conveniently display remaining battery time with the exclusive AccuPower™ meter.

 

HD/SD Capable

Capable of playing back High Definition Video (HDV) and Standard Definition Video recorded on MiniDV cassette.

 

7.0" Wide (16:9) LCD Display (1152K Pixels)

Provides excellent viewing clarity with improved resolution. The 1152k pixel LCD rotates for multiple viewing angles providing sharp detailed images for monitoring or playback.

 

x.v.Color™ Technology

The GV-HD700 is capable of passing the x.v.Color signal recorded by your 2007 Sony® HD Camcorders to your compatible HDTV. With the ability to reproduce nearly twice as many (1.8x) viewable colours than currently possible.

 

LCD Profile Control

Customize up to 6 different LCD sreen profiles (personal settings); choose from Brightness, Colour Depth, Contrast, Sharpness and Colour Phase.

 

L and M Series InfoLITHIUM® Battery Compatibility

Compatible with both L and M series InfoLITHIUM batteries. You can now charge the battery at anytime because unlike NiCad (Cickel Cadmium) batteries, Sony's rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries are not subject to a life shortening "memory effect". Sony's exclusive AccuPower™ meter displays the battery time remaining in minutes, on the LCD screen.

 

Assignable Buttons

Three buttons on the exterior of the Video Walkman are user-assignable so that they can be set to the options most commonly utilized which make it easier to control your playback options and settings.

 

i.LINK® DV Interface (IEEE1394)

A high speed bi-directional digital video/audio communication between two devices equipped with an IEEE1394 interface, including camcorders, digital VCRs, and PCs.

 

Memory Stick Duo™ Media Slot

Capture digital still images up to 1440 x 810 resolution from video-tapes, analogue inputs or digital video i.LINK® input, directly onto Memory Stick media (sold separately). The images can be easily transferred to PCs for emailing, printing or sharing with other compatible Memory Stick devices (sold separately).

 

12-Bit/16-Bit PCM Digital Stereo

16-bit recording offers the same, outstanding sound quality as Compact Disc. 12-bit recording enables you to add an additional audio track with compatible audio dubbing equipment or i.LINK compatible computers.

 

SP and LP Record/Playback

Standard Play offers up to 60 minutes of digital recording, or Long Play for up to 90 minutes, on one MiniDV cassette.

 

Playback Zoom

Manipulates the picture inside the Video Walkman VCR. While playing back your images on the Video Walkman VCR, it allows you to edit your images by zooming in (up to 2 times) and cropping your picture (up, down, left, right). You can save the new image as a separate file. Resize lets you save a copy of an image to a smaller or larger file size.

 

Crystal Clear Still/Slow Motion Playback

Digital video provides noise free playback in slow motion and in the pause mode for detailed playback. Available in Standard Definition only.

What do we think?


The GVD1000 was one of our favourite portable players and this takes over from where the GVD1000 left off.  Able to play back and record in HDV, the HD700 will no doubt become popular with customers wanting to review footage on location using a larger screen.
