These camera's are picky in that they need 8.7V through a propriety connector. There is an adapter cable-tied to each camera to allow the use of 4-pin XLR to provide power. However, care must be taken to avoid plugging a 12V supply into the camera's. Doing this turns the camera into a tape muncher, among other problems. | These camera's are picky in that they need 8.7V through a propriety connector.

Due to the use of incompatible power supplies (see above), two of YSTV's three HVRs are currently 'tape munchers'. A somewhat reliable solid-state recorder can be used with these cameras. | |||
The other camera records to tape fine, but has issues with sound due to a damaged microphone jack. This can be worked around by using the [[Microphones#Zoom H2N|Zoom H2N]] to record sound (you can even plug the rifle mic into it). This camera also suffers from occasional optical issues, producing a distorted image. | |||
All three cameras can be used for live shows, although the composite output is damaged on a couple of them - use the S-Video connection instead. | |||
