Mini DV/S-VHS Dual Deck

The PV-DV600 is a high resolution DV camcorder that also offers analog input--so you can archive your old VHS tapes. Additional features include an 18X optical zoom lens, digital effects, i.LINK and serial interfaces, 3-inch color LCD monitor and color viewfinder, removable 8MB MultiMedia card, and an IR filter that allow recording in near total darkness. For added convenience, the PV-DV600 includes a video light and Adobe PhotoDeluxe software.

Mini DV is the revolutionary digital video format that takes home video recording to new, previously unimagineable levels. Almost 500 lines of horizontal resolution combined with CD-quality audio on a miniature cassette that is 56% smaller than a 8mm tape. And, when using an 80-minute tape in LP mode, the PV-DV600 can record up to two full hours of video.

High Quality:

1/4-inch CCD with 460,000 pixels combined with DV recording system delivers superb images of almost 500 lines of horizontal resolution.
Equipped with an 18X optical zoom lens that delivers close-up shots with extraordinary clarity. It also offers seven different zoom speeds, so you can go from wide angle to full telephoto zoom in 2 to 22 seconds. A 300x digital zoom is also offered for incredible close-up capability.
Two PCM digital stereo modes: 16-bit mode produces CD quality on one set of stereo tracks, while the 12-bit mode creates two sets of stereo tracks, allowing audio dubbing or narration on the second track.
Dual Digital Electronic Image Stabilization (D-EIS) compensate for unintentional hand and camcorder movement to stabilize your recordings--even while shooting from a car or walking down the street. Amazingly, Dual D-EIS also works in the playback mode, removing jitter from previously recorded video--while you playback your video!
Incorporates industry-standard i.Link (IEEE1394) digital interface, allowing connection to an IEEE1394-equipped computer for advanced non-linear editing with virtually no deterioration in picture or sound quality. Also allows lossless copies when dubbing to similarly equipped camcorders or VCRs. Produces duplicate copies of personal recordings without any loss in picture quality--every time.

High Performance:

Equipped with an analog composite video input, the PV-DV600 can accept video input from your old VHS and 8mm camcorders and re-record them onto a digital Mini DV tape for archiving. (Step-up feature from the PV-DV400)
Includes an amazing IR (infra-red) filter that lets you record video in near-total darkness with incredible detail (images can be recorded in Black & White, Blue or Green). By simply turning on the IR filter, the camcorder uses infrared light to record images in dark settings up to 10 feet away.
Add digital effects for a professional-looking production. Effects include Mirror, Strobe, Mosaic, Slim, Trail, Stretch, Wipe, Mix, B & W and Gain-up.
5-mode Program AE (Auto Exposure) provides the proper settings for exposure, shutter speed and depth of field for a variety of environments (Portrait, Sports, Low-Light, Spot Light and Sand & Snow modes).
Slow motion and frame-by-frame playback using the optional remote control
PhotoShot mode allows you to use your camcorder as a digital still camera by capturing six seconds of stills with audio in VGA (640 x 480) resolution. These images can be transferred to your computer and incorporated in e-mails or printed documents, or play them back on TV to create your own slide show. You can record about 1000 still images on one 60-minute tape.
To further enhance the photographic effects created by PhotoShot, you can use the shutter effect to simulate the look and sound of a camera shutter each time you take a still picture.
Bundled with Adobe PhotoDeluxe software for manipulating and editing your still images (Step-up feature from the PV-DV400)

Conveniences:

Supplied 5-watt video light mounts on top of the camcorder for recording more realistic colors in low-light conditions. The light draws power from the camcorder, so there is no need to carry an extra battery. (Step-up feature from the PV-DV400)
3-inch high-resolution LCD color monitor provides excellent viewing clarity in full vivid colors. The monitor can also rotate 270 degrees, letting you hold the camcorder at many different angles whle recording. A speaker is also built-in, so you can check your finished recordings on the spot.
The camera also has a high-resolution (114,000 pixels) color viewfinder for those times when you can’t use the LCD monitor.
Battery and tape remaining time in the viewfinder; external mic input and headphone jack
PhotoVu Link allows you to download images to your PC using the supplied RS-232 serial cable
PC connection lets you transfer still images captured on the included 8MB MultiMediaCard. The MultiMediaCard can be thought of as "digital film," so you can take still pictures and then transfer them to your computer. If the card is full, you can remove it and replace it with a fresh card. Or you can selectively erase any or all of the images from the card and reuse it. You can even create your own images on the computer and transfer them back to the MultiMediaCard in your camcorder. Capture up to 240 images in NORMAL mode (320 x 240) or up to 60 images in FINE mode (640 x 480) on the 8MB card.
