Sony PD-150 Brief User Guide

Equipment available at IT Help Desk

In addition to laptops, digital cameras, calculators, digital audio recorders which are available to all

students, these items are only available to Com 106 or Com 221 students:

•Sony PD 150 3 chip professional video cameras

•Microphones (see chart below)

Special Notes:

1) Check out items at IT Help Desk. You must have your current student ID card to get any equipment.

2) Items are due the next day by 6:00 pm. Exceptionsare items checked out on Friday. These are due

on Monday by 6:00 pm. Failure to return on time results in a significant fine. The goal is to make sure

equipment is available to all users and fines encourage “on time” return and discourage monopolizing

resources.

3) All items are shared between Com 106 & Com 221. Recognize not all items will always be available.

4) Use ONLY Sony Mini-DV tapes. We’ve had problems with non-Sony tapes and the wrong tapes can

create problems for your projects, the cameras, or the playback decks in the editing rooms. Sony tapes

are widely available from retailers.

5) All of our microphones work with +48V switches ON. Please leave those switches in the +48V On

position.

6) When cameras are returned, helpdesk personnel recharge batteries. Depending on use, batteries can

take up to several hours to completely recharge. Each camera kit has multiple batteries for extended

shooting times.

7) Please do not leave equipment in extreme cold or hot climates for extended periods of time. Extreme

conditions negatively impact operating conditions of the equipment.
