The Sony DNW-9WS makes it easy and cost effective to bridge the transition from the 4:3 world to the growing world of 16:9. Equipped with 2/3 inch CCDs, it incorporates 10-bit / 36 MHz signal processing and the superb picture quality of Betacam SX digital recording format. Highly mobile in the field with an operating weight of less than 14 pounds, the DNW-9WS is shorter in length with a lower center of gravity than a 1/2" CCD analog camera.
