Combining lkegami's high performance, top-of-the-line camera with a Betacam SP VTR in a single compact unit, the HL-V55 is easy to operate, offers resolution of 700 TV lines and a high S/N ratio of 62 dB, while dramatically reducing vertical smear and Fixed Pattern Noise (FPN). A high sensitivity of f6.2 (at 2000 lux.) has been achieved.  Furthermore, super high sensitivity comparable to that of a low-light camera with Image Intensifier can be achieved with the Hyper Gain Switch. Due to the newly designed miniaturized VTR and high density circuit boards using Ikegami's original technology, the HL-V55 weighs only 6.9 Kg (15.2 lbs.) including the lens, viewfinder and battery, power consumption is only 24W. A variety of functions makes the HL-V55 a viable option to meet the demands of high-quality field production. Features: FIT-CCD with 420,000 pixels. Optical system (provides the spectral characteristics of HL-95 and HL-55) Low-pass filter (dramatically reduces moire noise patterns) Compact and lightweight (6.9kg [15.2 lbs.] or less including lens, viewfinder and battery) Built-in BETA-SP VCR Registration, ±0.03% Highlight compression Variable electronic shutter White shading correction Dynamic DTL (compensates for loss in lens peripheral resolution) Auto black balance (including BLK SET) SMPTE color bar generator Genlock function (full color-lock) Audio monitor speaker Audio level controller (can adjust the level of camera microphone) VF indicator (LED, characters) VF marker (center marker, safe area marker) High resolution, quick start VF Movable shoulder pad Playback signal can be provided, using a play back adapter. System connector incorporated provides component video output via a 26 pin VCR connector. (The 26 pin VCR connector is an option.) Compatible with Betacam format. Recording review function (can play back the last scene.) Back space edit function (to ensure sequential recording without picture break-up at transitions.) Built-in time code generator/reader Diagnostic system 48V phantom power provided for microphone. Additionally, 12V AB power is also possible. (Back connectors: 48V phantom power only) Audio signal recording of FM and longitudinal tracks can be recorded simultaneously. (When metal tape is used) CTDM signals can be monitored so that chroma signal can be checked. (CTDM: Compressed Time Division Multiplex) LCD multiple display (VCR status can be clearly displayed.)
