They record at a maximum of 1080p25 to SD card in [[w:AVCHD|AVCHD]] format, making them YSTV's first tapeless HD cameras. Live video outputs over HDMI at a variety of resolutions - crucially, 1080i50 to match the Sony cameras. This requires the use of [[Battery Converters|battery converters]] to work with BNC cabling. Composite output is also available through use of adapter cable.
