VTR Menu Settings for the Varicam H

Please note that a removable, camera setup card (MultiMediaCard) containing V-M1 or F files can not be loaded into the new Model H Varicam, or vise versa. In other words, the files are NOT interchangeable. The file syntax is slightly different between the newest and the earlier models of the Varicam leading to this incompatibility.

As with the Varicam F, the settings below can be recorded to a removable MultiMediaCard (flash card) directly from the Varicam H. Then they can be viewed, via a card reader, on a standard computer (using Windows "Notepad" for example). The card format is shown below. It works both ways, so changes to these Scene File settings can be made via computer (taking care to use the proper syntax), and copied back to the MultiMediaCard with a card reader/writer, and from there read back into the Varicam again. Remembering once again, that F files are not interchangeable with H files, or vise versa.

Note that the Recorder Section has it own VTR INITIALIZE MENU, and VTR CARD READ/WRITE MENU. This is completely separate from the Camera Head Menus. It also has a DATE TIME MENU (for setting the current date and time) and a DIAGNOSTIC MENU for displaying information about the recorder section which is entirely independent of the removable, camera-setup card.

Commonly Used Shortcuts for Quickly Adjusting Key Items in the VTR Menus:

VTR MAIN MENU >>> BATTERY/TAPE >>> BATTERY SELECT >>>> XXXXXXX
VTR MAIN MENU >>> FUNCTION >>> COMPRESSION MODE >>> DARK / NORMAL
VTR MAIN MENU >>> MONITOR MARKER >>> FRAME MARK >>> ON / OFF
VTR MAIN MENU >>> MIC/AUDIO >>> TEST TONE >>> ON / OFF

00010012 COMPRESSION MODE DARK (Assigns proportionally more digital code values (bits) for the darker regions of the CCD range, than for the brighter parts. This means that the shadow parts of the image can potentially look better using this new feature, with more tonality and less compression artifacts.)

BATTERY/TAPE MENU
