A device which converts analog signals into digital signals.

Often used to quickly connect a DVD player, videogame console, or camcorder, these three connectors can be seen on the back or front of almost every TV: one for video (yellow) and two for stereo audio (either red and black or red and white). The yellow plug is called 'composite video.'

To confirm Sony receivers position as the ideal A/V control centre, most models are supplied with a Sony A/V Remote Commander. This single remote control will control most Sony CD players, tape decks, VHS VCRs, DVD players, Sony TVs and key receiver functions. There is one set of transport keys (Play, Rew, etc), which change to the appropriate source input and activate that source.

Trinitron AV Stereo Televisions feature a mono tuner and are equipped with a stereo amplifier which allows connection of a NICAM Stereo VCR for enjoyment of stereo broadcasts and pre-recorded software.

Intelligent Accessory Shoe enables specifically designed accessories, such as lights, flashes and microphones, to be powered and controlled via Handycam functions.

Sony’s exclusive AccuPower meter displays the battery time remaining in minutes, in either the viewfinder or on the LCD screen

ActiFORCE technology ensures fast recharge rate, extended power and optimal performance in all weather conditions.

Provides a location directly on the camcorder to which one may add optional accessories, such as lights, flashes and microphones, while providing power and two way communication with those accessories.

This describes the tiny rows of pixels on a television screen. There are typically 480 lines on an analog NTSC TV screen and 1,080 lines on a Hi-scan screen. The number of active scan lines provides a good initial test for a screen's clarity, called its 'native resolution.'

ADI (Advanced Distance Integration) flash metering system offers the optimum flash metering and automatic white-balance compensation regardless of the background conditions or the subject's reflectance. ADI flash metering works in combination with α cameras and lenses that incorporate a distance encoder.

When used with these lenses, the camera calculates a guide number to control TTL (through the lens) flash metering. This guide number is calculated according to distance from the subject, ambient light and pre-flash reflectivity of the subject and the background.

Protecting the sensor from exposure each time lenses are changed, the camera introduces two anti-dust measures.  Firstly, the low pass filter coving the CCD has been treated with an Anti-Dust Coating to minimise static charge build-up, reducing the attraction of dust.  For added protection, the camera activates an Anti-Vibration function each time the camera is powered on or off.  This rapid movement of the CCD dislodges dust particles that may have settled on the CCD surface

By reproducing fine levels of gradation and dynamically controlling the contrast of every image, the Advanced Contrast Enhancer delivers superior light, mid and dark tones in every scene. Now you can enjoy those deep dark scenes without sacrificing the brightness of the lighter elements.
