GV D800 GV-D800 SONY DIGITAL 8 HI 8 VIDEO WALKMAN NICE!

This Video Walkman is nearly new

 It has been checked out professionally and has not been used more than a few hours. It comes with all connection wires as shown, along with Four batteries of various sizes. A cleaning tape, directions and a bag (not shown). This device allows conversion of any analog signal to digital. I use a FireWire connection with a Digital-8 video camera and can bring in all my analog video to edit on my Mac. The editing features are fantastic but I can do everything I need with my camera. I offer the SquareTrade warranty as a refund, along with free shipping with the Buy It Now price, if it's available. Once bidding gets underway, the Buy It Now option goes away. Here are Sony's description and specs:

PAL Playback on NTSC

Adds the ability to playback a PAL recorded Mini DV cassette on the GVD-800 only and only on the 4" LCD screen.

Digital8® recording and playback:

Records outstanding digital picture and sound on affordable Hi8 and 8mm tapes. Offers up to 500 lines of resolution with three times the color bandwidth of VHS and significantly lower video noise.

Built-in assemble editing (20 segments):

Allows user to connect the deck via an i.LINK®1 or infra-red interface to any other i.LINK or infra-red device and select up to twenty different scenes from a video and then have the deck automatically assemble those scenes together.

4" Color active matrix LCD screen

Provides on the spot high quality viewing of your videos

Time Base Correction (TBC)

Replaces the video signal with a clean sync pulse, to correct timing errors, which eliminates the jitters commonly found in home video.

2X Playback and 2X Playback Zoom

Allows for high speed playback in forward and reverse. 2X Playback zoom allows you to zoom into a selected area of the video during playback of a Digital8 tape.

S-Video and composite input/output:

S-Video connection offers superior video signal transfer from analog devices by reducing "Dot Crawl" which is commonly seen as distortion around the edge of the recorded video signal.

i.LINK® (IEEE 1394)1 DV Input/Output:

Provides bi-directional digital communication that carries digital audio, digital video and control signals to other i.LINK® equipped video devices and a growing range of compatible PCs for dubbing and non-linear editing. In plain terms this is a FireWire connection that allows your computer to operate the device for editing. It converts any analog signal so it can be used as an A/D converter for all old video.

Digital Noise Reduction

Reduces chromanance (color) noise by 20% when recording.
 
Digital video recording allows crystal clear still/ slow motion and frame-by-frame advance capabilities.

Hi8/8mm Playback:

Video Walkman® VCRs can playback previously recorded material from Hi8 or 8mm videotapes in either SP or LP modes.

PCM stereo digital audio:

16-bit recording capability offers the same, outstanding sound quality as Compact Disc. 12 bit recording enables you to transfer the recorded signal via i.LINK® to a compatible DV device so that stereo music or narration can be added without disturbing the original soundtracks
AC Powered with Supplied Adapter/DC Powered with Optional InfoLithium® Battery

Supplied AC-L10 adapter allows you to plug in your Video Walkman® VCR into any standard AC outlet. By adding an optional InfoLithium® battery (NP-F550, NP-F750 or NP-F960) you can enjoy using your Video Walkman® VCR in portable applications such as playback and editing.
