Switchable between 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios, the camcorder delivers low smear, 750-line resolution, signal-to-noise ratio of 63dB, a high sensitivity of F11 at 2000 lux and minimum illumination of 0.5 lux (at +36dB).
It has five P2 card slots, providing up to 160 minutes record capacity at DVCPRO and 80 minutes in DVCPRO50 with 8GB P2 cards. A sixth PC card slot is provided to accept a range of options, such as an MPEG-4 Proxy video encoder.
