Cautions
To ensure continuous high performance from the camcorder take the following cautions into
consideration:
• Refer mounting and installation of optional boards to qualified service personnel.
• Use recommended accessories only.
• Do not subject the camcorder to severe shocks or vibration.
• Do not expose the camcorder to extreme temperatures.
• Do not leave the camcorder in direct sunlight or close to heating appliances for extended
periods.
• Do not allow sunlight to shine directly into the viewfinder.
• Avoid extreme highlights as these can cause various kinds of optical reflections.
• Do not allow laser beams to shine into the lens as this could damage the imagers.
• Always turn off power after use.
• Remove the media before storing the camcorder for an extended period.
• Clean the camcorder and its attachments regularly, especially contact areas such as the
touch screen and hand grip. For cleaning the touch screen refer to the maintenance
section.
Internal batteries
• To avoid the risk of explosion always replace the battery with a correct type.
• Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions of the manufacturer of the battery.
• Remove the battery before storing the camcorder for an extended period.
Tripod installation
• This camcorder can be mounted on a tripod. For safe installation and operation of the
tripod refer to the manufacturer’s documentation.
• The typical configuration for this camcorder (camera with a standard HD lens, 2-inch
viewfinder, battery and a top light mounted, total weight 10.2 kg (22.5 lbs) has proved to
be stable when used on a tripod with the following specifications: height 1.45 m (57 in),
leg distance at floor level of 0.80 m (31.5 in).These values are recommendations only.
Always check the mechanical stability of the unit before using it.

Attention
About the Xensium imager
• The Xensium imager used in the Infinity camcorder is equipped with an electronic rolling
shutter. When shooting under (artificial) low-frequent fluorescent lighting conditions the
image may be affected by intensity variations.
About the side panel display
• The camcorder’s side panel display is a TFT display that is manufactured using high
precision technology that yields a quality of 99.99% or higher. However, it is possible that
one or more pixels may constantly display a single color or be permanently off. This does
not indicate a defective display and your recorded data is not affected.
• Exposing the display to direct sunlight or very bright light sources for extended periods
may damage the unit. It is recommended that you close the display with the screen facing
the camcorder body when not using it.
About REV PRO disks
• When a REV PRO disk is not in use, always store it in its protective case.
• Avoid handling the disk by the front edge (the edge that inserts into the drive).
• If you suspect a disk is defective, replace it immediately. Do not continue to use it as this
could damage the drive.
• If a disk is difficult to insert, make sure that the logo is facing away from the camcorder
and try again. Never force a disk into or out of the REV PRO drive; this could damage the
drive and the disk.
• Avoid exposing REV PRO disks to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures or moisture.
• Avoid exposing REV PRO disks to strong magnetic fields such as those produced by
monitors or speakers.
• Avoid dropping a REV PRO disk. This could cause damage to the disk.

Chapter 1 - Introduction
1.2.1 Xensium™ imager
The Infinity Digital Media Camcorder uses the Grass Valley Xensium imagers which offer a
wider dynamic range and improved signal-to-noise performance when compared to other
CMOS imagers.
The imaging chips are at the heart of professional camera design, and Grass Valley has
continually worked to achieve high resolution, wide contrast handling and low noise. Coupled
with Grass Valley's broad spectrum digital signal processing it is set to deliver remarkable
pictures in uncompromised HD resolutions.
1.2.2 Advanced camcorder technology
The Infinity Digital Media Camcorder provides a choice of video formats and standards
selectable within the camcorder. You can choose from 576i50, 480i59.94, 1080i50,
1080i59.94, 720p50, 720p59.94. Additionally, video formats 1080p23.98, 1080p25,
1080p29.97 are available as a cost-option. Standard-definition (SD) formats are selectable in
either 16:9, 4:3 or letterbox aspect ratios. This makes the camcorder ideal for multi-format

extremely durable REV PRO removable disks provide the portability, and cost-effectiveness of
videotape with the speed, flexibility, and ease-of-use of true nonlinear media such as hard
disks.
Professional-grade CompactFlash memory is a commercially available solid-state technology
that delivers the high level of performance needed for demanding professional video
applications. These cards are small, lightweight and extremely durable. Professional-grade
CompactFlash cards currently hold up to 32 GB with sufficient throughput for both SD and HD
recording, playback and ingest.
Both REV PRO and CompactFlash media offer unprecedented advantages in terms of usability,
price and performance. They offer many additional benefits for video professionals such as
nonlinear random access to video files and non-degrading archival storage.
1.2.4 On-board selectable compression
Infinity Series products provide you a choice of compression schemes and bit rates, giving you
the option to select what is best for your workflow today and in the future. The Infinity Digital
Media Camcorder supports JPEG2000, DV and D10 and MPEG-2 (optional) compression,
assignable via the camcorder’s user interface.
The DV codec is 25 Mb/s 4:2:0 (PAL) or 4:1:1 (NTSC), making it ideal for immediate use in your
workflow today.
JPEG2000 compression can be used for both SD and HD acquisition. It provides high-
efficiency compression, 10-bit 4:2:2 encoding and no blocking artifacts —and is fully scalable.
Industry-standard MPEG-2 compression is available as an option and can be used for a variety
of HD compression profiles, including I-frame and Long GoP.

1.2.5 Ultimate connectivity
The Infinity Digital Media Camcorder connects using both traditional and IT interfaces.
Traditional inputs and outputs include BNC connectors for (HD-)SDI, CVBS, Time Code, AES
digital audio and XLRs for analog audio. The camcorder comes with three USB 2.0 connectors
(two hosts and one device), one IEEE 1394 connector and a HDMI display connector. It can
also connect to an external storage device (such as a hard drive or flash memory stick) via
USB. The Gigabit Ethernet port provides compatibility with the C2IP camera control system.
1.2.6 User interface
Camcorder operators can manipulate the camcorder through traditional controls for standard
operation and through a touch screen display. The built-in user interface supports video
monitoring, clip management, audio setup and metering, and detailed camcorder
configuration.
You can also use the LCP 400 wireless application to control the camcorder. Running on a
Windows Mobile PDA or TouchPhone, it gives you access to all camera menus and settings —
and lets you change them while shooting. It displays audio levels and, thanks to its low
latency, lets you make critical adjustments to e.g. audio parameters. You can create and edit
metadata such as names, dates, slugs, locations and even camera settings before, during or
after recording.
1.2.7 Enhancing your workflows
The Infinity Digital Media Camcorder enhances your existing workflow today, while allowing
you to move to more efficient IT workflows in the future. You can use the camcorder’s storage
media just like videotape in tape-based workflows. The only difference is that you use digital
media recorders and digital media drives as tape machine substitutes. However, Infinity Series
products offer more than videotape replacement. In nonlinear editing environments, for
example, you can also connect a REV PRO drive or CompactFlash card reader to a workstation
for direct access and low cost.
