Up to 184 Minutes of Recording
The AJ-D215 records for up to 184 minutes on a single DVCPRO
large cassette (AJ-5P92L). This lets you shoot even long events
without switching tapes while enjoying a high level of reliability
because DVCPRO’s metal particle tape is renowned in the broad-
casting industry for durability and stability.
Under 2 Lux Shooting Illumination
A CCD with on-chip lens and + 18 db gain-up lets you take quality
shots in lighting as low as two lux with the new T17X5BRM Lens.
Built-in ND Filter
The AJ-D215’s 1/16 ND filter is set by simply sliding it into or out of
position. It ensures stable picture quality even when shooting out-
doors under bright sunlight.
Auto White Balance – Preset/Memory/ATW
The AJ-D215 is factory-preset with three white balance settings:
for use indoors, outdoors and under fluorescent lights.
DVCPRO Terminal (IEEE 1394) Interface Board (Option)
This optional IEEE 1394 based DVCPRO terminal (AJ-YAD210P)
lets you connect to a back up DVCPRO VCR for digital dubbing with
superior picture and sound quality.
DVCPRO: Superior Digital Recording
DVCPRO is the world standard for digital video recording. It records
digital component signals across a 5.75-MHz (Y) video bandwidth,
with a video S/N ratio of 55 dB. The AJ-D215 offers superb audio,
too, thanks to a 48-kHz sampling, 16-bit recording, 2 channel PCM
digital system.
Manual Audio Level
Separate dials for channels 1 and 2 let you manually set the audio
recording level when desired
Light Weight, Low Power Consumption
The AJ-D215 weighs only 13 lbs. in full operating condition (with
lens, EVF, battery and cassette). Power consumption is 16 W or less
when recording.
Compatible with Anton/Bauer Digital Battery
A gold mount plate allows use of an Anton/Bauer digital battery
system. The remaining power is shown in the viewfinder. When
using an Anton/Bauer Ultra Light, the lighting on/off and recording
start/stop can be linked.
