    Study Notes

    Video Equipment Technology Levels

    • There are three main levels of video equipment technology: Consumer, Broadcast, and Industrial/Prosumer.
    • Commercial is not a level of video equipment technology.

    Consumer-Grade Video Equipment

    • Characterized by lower cost, potentially unwanted features, and fragility.
    • May have limitations in audio capabilities and less durable connectors.

    Industrial/Prosumer Video Equipment

    • Offers a greater degree of manual control over settings, which is important for legal videographers.
    • Bridges the gap between basic consumer models and high-end broadcast systems.

    Types of Video Systems

    • Fixed Studio, Mini-Studio, and Electronic Field Production (EFP) are types of video systems.
    • Mobile Studio is not a type of video system described in Chapter 1.

    Electronic Field Production (EFP)

    • Primarily relies on lightweight, portable equipment that can be easily transported.

    Portable Video Recorders

    • Digital Camcorders are specifically designed to be portable and use battery power.
    • Provide a real-time view of what the camera is capturing during the deposition.
    • Allow the videographer to ensure proper framing, focus, and exposure.

    Camera Selection for Depositions

    • According to CLVS Standard #3, a camera's optical zoom lens with at least a 10:1 zoom ratio is particularly important.
