It is as easy to plug in an entry- level DV camcorder as a top-of-the-range HDCAM VTR. The PDW-F75 features a comprehensive array of interfaces as standard. Using either the built-in LCD screen or a monitor, you have full access to all the benefits of the advanced XDCAM workflow with Scene Selection, Thumbnail operations and high-speed file-based editing.
