Digital8®Recording and Playback
Records outstanding digital
picture and sound on affordable
Hi8™and 8mm tapes. Offers up
to 520 lines of resolution with three
times the color bandwidth of VHS and
significantly lower video noise.
Hi8™/8mm Playback
Video Walkman™VCRs can
playback previously recorded
material from Hi8™or 8mm
videotapes in either SP or LP modes.
Analog-to-Digital Conversion
with Pass-Through
Convert your analog tapes to digital via
real-time analog to digital conversion
using the i.LINK®*(IEEE1394) connection.
It allows you to pass-through an analog
signal to a PC for editing, without first
recording it digitally.
20-Segment Assemble Edit
Allows the user to connect the Video
Walkman™VCR to other camcorders
or VCRs to edit and create entertaining
home videos. With this feature you can
select up to twenty different scenes
and assemble them together the way
you want.
12/16-Bit PCM Digital Stereo Audio
16-bit recording capability offers the
same, outstanding sound quality as
Compact Disc. 12-bit recording enables
you to transfer the recorded signal via
i.LINK®*interface/connector to a
compatible DV device so that stereo
music or narration can be added without
disturbing the original audio tracks.
i.LINK®*(IEEE 1394) DV Input/Output
Provides bi-directional digital
communication that carries
digital audio, digital video and
control signals to other i.LINK®* equipped
video devices and a growing range of
compatible PCs for dubbing and
non-linear editing.
Super LaserLink Wireless Connection
Allows the user to transmit
audio and video, via infra-red,
from the GV-D200/800 to the
optional IFT-R20 LaserLink®receiver, at
a distance of up to 26 feet. The Super
LaserLink system eliminates the need for
running long video cables or using
clumsy adapters.
4" Color Active Matrix LCD Screen and
Built-in Stereo Speakers (GV-D800 only)
Provides on the spot high quality viewing
of your videos.
AC Powered with Supplied
Adapter/DC Powered or Optional
InfoLithium®Battery
Supplied AC-L10 adapter allows you to
plug in your Video Walkman™VCR into
any standard AC outlet. By adding an
optional InfoLithium®battery (NP-F550,
NP-F750 or NP-F960) you can enjoy
using your Video Walkman™VCR in
portable applications such as playback
and editing.
Crystal Clear Still/Slow Motion and
Frame-by-Frame Advance
Digital video recording allows
crystal clear still/ slow motion and
frame-by-frame advance capabilities.
Playback PAL Recorded Digital8®Tapes
Provides the ability to playback PAL
system recorded Digital8®cassettes on
the LCD screen (GV-D800 only).
2X Playback and 2X Playback Zoom
Allows for 2X playback in forward and
reverse. 2X Playback zoom allows you to
zoom into a selected area of the video
during playback of a Digital8®tape.

20% when recording.
