3CCD camera system Originally, camcorders against one CCD--the imaging device that turns light into electronic information--and let the allusion processing unit decider the color information from the data. Like today's broadcast video cameras, however, the DSR-PD170 uses a prism to measure out incoming light into three beams and uses specially tuned 1/3-inch CCDs to manufacture red, blue, and green composite images, which are assembled into a final clone. The result is a more film-like vibrancy and more accurate color declaration. Advanced HAD technology reduces fixed pattern noise and the vertical besmirch sometimes associated with CCD images.
Audio
The DSR-PD170 records two channels of PCM digital politic with the 48 kHz/16-bit or 32 kHz/12-bit mode. It features a ECM-NV1 electret condenser microphone, as well as two XLR audio input connectors for use with competent-grade microphones or external audio sources.

Visual Super SteadyShot system Sony's optical Super SteadyShot System helps get rid of the slight hand jitter and vibration that is often the bane of video casting. Sensors inside the camera detect horizontal and vertical movements and the camera can cancel those movements by adjusting the lens mechanism on the fly. This is superior to digital defiant-shake systems that counteract image shake by trimming off edges of the shape to.
Large precision black & white viewfinder and LCD monitor
Point of view your subject through the built-in viewfinder, the swing-out LCD display, or both. The camera features a 0.44-inch genus black & white LCD viewfinder and a 2.5-inch color LCD follow. You'll save battery time by using just one, but you may want to use one for adjusting convergence and the other for monitoring audio levels.
Index marking and title purpose
When using a Cassette Memory-equipped DVCAM/DV tape, an guide can be marked while recording with the DSR-PD170 or recording from an external video provenience, which makes for quick access later on. Also, you can store titles in the copy memory for overlay during playback.
