Sony HVR-HD1000E

These are the main HD camera's currently used in YSTV.

Power

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.
