Description

The Sony UVW-100 is a Betacam SP one-piece camcorder from the UVW budget series, designed primarily for ENG (Electronic News Gathering) and programme acquisition work. At 7.3 kg fully equipped (including viewfinder, lens, microphone, battery, and cassette), it enables single-person operation in the field.

The UVW-100 records on S-size metal particle Betacam SP cassettes, providing over 30 minutes of recording time. It provides two longitudinal audio channels with Dolby C noise reduction. Audio inputs are via two balanced XLR connectors with selectable 48V phantom power for condenser microphones.

The camcorder features a built-in LTC time code reader and is genlockable to external time code via the BNC genlock input, making it suitable for multi-camera environments. The industry-standard 26-pin VTR interface provides component (Y/R-Y/B-Y), Y/C, and composite video outputs simultaneously, allowing direct connection to a second VTR for dubbing or monitoring.

Video outputs include two BNC camera video outputs for monitoring. A 20-pin playback adaptor connector enables color playback with the optional playback adapter. An earphone output on a mini stereo jack provides audio monitoring. The compact design incorporates a small drum mechanism for reduced size and weight, and low power consumption of 20W allows over 60 minutes of continuous operation on a single NP-1B battery.

Supplied accessories include the DXF-601CE 1.5-inch viewfinder, VCL-714BX 14× zoom lens, LC-421 carrying case, VCT-U14 tripod adaptor, external microphone, and shoulder strap.
