DV component digital images can be
recorded on a single MiniDV tape,
assuring you the high-quality, non-degradable images you need for
top results in post-production editing. Impressive horizontal
resolution of 500 lines is achieved when signals are played back
via DV output. The high-quality SP mode and up to 90-minute **

A non-recorded section of the tape, such as the end point of a
recording, is detected. The GY-DV300U enters the Stop mode at
that point.
High-quality PCM audio
To complement the superior
pictures, the GY-DV300U offers
outstanding digital PCM sound.
You can choose from two 16-bit
48-kHz channels or two 12-bit,
32-kHz channels with a
dynamic range of more than 71
dB.
Audio recording level adjust
Audio recording level can be adjusted to minimize extraneous
noise picked up by the microphone. Audio recording levels for
channels 1 and 2 can be set either manually or automatically.
SMPTE time code generator
SMPTE-standard time code can be recorded and read for accurate
editing. The time code system is locked to the drop-frame mode,
REC RUN mode or re-generation mode. SMPTE time code can be
preset at the beginning of the tape.
Edit search
Edit points can be quickly accessed in the Standby mode for
review or to set the start point for recording.
