Our field video production services centers around a Sony DXC-637 and PVV-3
or BVV5 betacam SP camcorder or DSR-1 DVCAM dockable recorder. The lens
is a 17X Canon with a doubler and Fujinon 0.7X wide angle adapter. The
camcorder is equipped with dual NP1B battery holsters as well as an NRG
battery belt. Both Sony stock shotgun mic and a Sennheiser ME-66 shotgun
is available for superb audio ENG recording. In addition, two Sony wireless
WRR-810 systems are available with both ECM-77 omni and ECM-66 cardiod
microphones. Also available is a handheld wireless VHF microphone for man-on-the-street
style interviewing. A camera mounted dual soft light is also available.
The tripod is a Manfrotto single stage with a Vinten 12SD head. The DXC-637
is rated at 800 lines and 63db S/N with a Hyper HAD 3 CCD pickup. It has
up to 36 db gain for near night vision sensitivity. The PVV-3 is rated
at 4.5 Mhz bandwidth and is powered by 2- NP1B batteries for up to an hour
of record time per battery set. 10 NP1Bs available. The DVCAM format allows
up to 184 minutes of continuous recording on one tape with full color playback
in the field. We have been cutting the Jacksonville TV Shopper and the
newest Home Business Journal, national infomercial using DVCAM. The producers
love it's field features and the quality. To preserve the DVCAM quality
through editing we have been using the Fast DPR at 3:1 compression ratio
for equal to betacam quality in the finished master.
