HL-DV7W
HL-DV5
One-piece Digital Camera/Recorder with DVCAM Format

HL-DV7W
16:9 wide-screen type, switchable to 4:3
aspect ratio. Employs 520,000 pixel (NTSC)
IT CCDs for high-end production.
D
VCAM FORMAT
High Picture Quality Digital Component Recording
The DVCAM format is a digital system with Luminance signal
(Y) and Color Difference signals (R-Y, B-Y).
PCM Digital Audio System
Two modes are selectable between 2ch (48kHz sampling
frequency) and 4ch (32kHz sampling frequency) which may
be useful for Audio After Recording (dubbing).
Long Recording Hours
Standard size cassettes have a max. 184 minutes recording
time, while mini-cassettes have max. 40 minutes recording
time.

HL-DV5
4:3 Aspect ratio type, Employs high performance
410,000 pixel (NTSC) IT CCDs for high-end
professional and broadcast quality acquisition.
(PAL version employs 470,000 pixel IT CCDs)
New Digital Process LSI
New digital process LSI
(ASIC) is adopted to
produce high quality
video including a six -
axis linear matrix
system forfine tuning of
color to match
broadcast
requirements.
10bit digital LSI
Low smear and high sensitivity CCD
High quality CCD are employed to reproduce good quality
PIctures even under very low light condition.
+48dB Hyper Gain for very low light conditions
Hyper gain of +48dB is provided so that good video reproduction is
assured even in the harshest shooting conditions.
Super V
To enhance Vertical resolution, the Super V function can be
enabled, increasing Vertical Resolution by 20%, to achieve natural
picture reproduction with remarkably fine resolution.
High Resolution Viewfinder
A high resolution broadcast use 1.5 inch viewfinder is employed,
featuring over 600 horizontal lines resolution. Ease of operation is
carefully considered, e.g. Brightness, Contrast and Peaking controls
are easily accessible on the front of the viewfinder and a rear tally light
is provided. The positioning of the viewfinder is easily adjustable.

E
XPRESSION
Preset and Variable Shutters
The preset shutter has six speeds (1/100, 1/120, 1/250, 1/500,
1/1000, 1/2000 seconds) and variable speeds can be set
between 1/60.3 and 1/787 seconds ( 1/50.3 and to 1/781 for
PAL).
Diagonal Detail for higher picture quality
The diagonal detail function increases sharpness in the diagonal
direction. This function also helps to reduce cross color moire in
NTSC.
Skin Detail for favorable reproduction
The skin detail function is used when skin quality is being
emphasized. The edge sharpness of the skin tone can be
softened so that wrinkles or age lines become less visible on the
TV screen. AHD, Auto Hue Detect, for easy setting of Skin tone
detail is employed.
Soft Detail Function
To ensure picture uniformity even with high contrast areas, Soft
Detail is employed to produce images that are more natural,
without excessive adge enhancement.
Variable Detail Settings
8 step variable frequency boost of the detail signal and B/W
balance function which controls center luminance level of detail
signal are provided to have better detail effects depending on the
subject.
HL-DV7W: 2.97MHz to 6.84MHz at 4:3 mode
3.24MHz to 9.00MHz at 16:9 mode
HL-DV5 : 2.97MHz to 6.84MHz
Various GAMMA settings
Not only are 4 types of GAMMA characteristics selectable
(OFF/0.35/0.4 /0.45), but a GAMMA curve pattern with x5 initial
gain is also selectable for certain broadcast requirement.
Black Press
To emphasize only the brighter areas of images, Black Press is
provided. It is selectable in 3 steps (-7%, -5%, -3%). It can add
contrast to a washed out picture.
Black Stretch
The black stretch function meets the needs of professional camera-
persons who want to avoid excessive dark areas in high contrast
scenes. With three settings (3, 5 and 7%), this function enables
improvement in dark areas in the picture by lifting the image level of
only low brightness areas.
Shock-less Auto White Balance
To avoid a sudden change in white balance when switching between
white balance memories, change over time is selectable. This
function exhibits superb results when the scene changes from an
indoor to outdoor shot or vice versa.
OFF : Changes Memory Data instantly
ON - 0.3s : Changes Memory Data in 0.3 seconds.
ON - 0.5s : Changes Memory Data in 0.5 seconds.
ON - 1.0s : Changes Memory Data in 1.0 seconds.
ON - 1.5s : Changes Memory Data in 1.5 seconds.
ON - 2.0s : Changes Memory Data in 2.0 seconds.
Convenient filter linked White Balance
The camera has a total of 8 AWB memory presets, A/B channel for
each filter. The AWB is linked to the filter and automatically changes
the white balance when the filter changes.
OFF : 2 memories on A and B
ON - POS : 2 memories, A and B for each filter ( 8chfor
3000K, 5600K + 1/16ND, 5600K, 5600K+1/64ND
ON - TEMP : 2 memories, A and B for each color temperature
of 3000K and 5600K.
Also, when setting the AWB, the Zebra indicator appears to show
the white area being used by the AWB system. If it doesn't work (NG
- No Good), the viewfinder indicates if the color temp was too high or
too low (H. TEMP or L. TEMP.)
Data Files
To enhance versatility, lens data files and scene data files are
provided.
A lens file stores data for max. 8 lenses to compensate for
differences in lens optical characteristics, such as shading or
color balance, and lens extender condition.
A scene file stores camera settings for up to 8 different shooting
conditions.

O
PERATION
A low center of gravity camera design
Ikegami's long and rich experience in professional TV camera
design has enabled us to produce a one-piece camera + recorder

In the VF, tally lights
appear both above and
below the picture. Rear
tally lights on the VF and
handle are also provided.
Slot for a built-in wireless receiver
A space for a wireless receiver is
provided at the rear of the camera.
This Ikegami standard
