known as analog input.

A / V

A / V Input (Audio/Video)

Input (Audio/Video)

Basically: A wall outlet. Officially: Occurs when charge carriers in a conductor or semiconductor
periodically reverse their direction of movement. The voltage of an AC power source changes
from instant to instant in time.

Adventure Cam

A portable electronic recording device capable of recording live-motion video/audio for later
replay through VCRs, TVs, and, in some models, a personal computer. The most popular
recording device for the Viosport Cameras.

Camcorder

One of the two main types of image sensors used in digital cameras. When a picture is taken, the
CCD is struck by light coming through the camera's lens. Each of the thousands or millions of tiny
pixels that make up the CCD converts this light into electrons. The number of electrons, usually
described as the pixel's accumulated charge, is measured, and then converted to a digital value.
This last step occurs outside the CCD, in a camera component called an analog-to-digital converter.

CCD (Charge Coupled Device)

Standard A/V lead for many devices such as DVD players, VCR's, camcorders. Generally 3.5mm
in size.

Composite

Basically: Battery powered. Officially: The unidirectional flow or movement of electric charge
carriers, usually electron. Direct current is produced by electrochemical and photovoltaic cells and
batteries.

DC (Direct Current)

The horizontal range of view of the camera lens. Adventure Cam II: 90 degrees, Adventure Cam
H2O: 93 degrees, Adventure Cam 3: 72.5 degrees, S.C.O.U.T. Cam: 72.5 degrees.

Field of View

A Sony remote control protocol which is built into various camcorder models. This is found only
on select Canon and Sony models.

LANC (Lan-cee)

A terminal in the camcorder which is 3.5mm. Generally, this is the size of the A/V terminal, which
is where external audio and video sources connect to the camcorder. It looks similar to a classic
headphone jack.
