General outline

The model AJ-HD1700 is a DVCPRO HD-LP format HD digital video cassette recorder which uses 1/4˝ wide compact cassette tapes.

It can record, play back and edit 1080/59.94i (60i), 720/59.94p (60p) and 1080/50i HD signals and also play back existing DVCPRO (25 Mbps or 50 Mbps) tapes.

It is also capable of converting from sources with a 720/24p over 60p (720/25p over 60p) format recorded using a variable frame rate camera into a 1080/24psf (1080/25psf) format and outputting the resulting signals, thus fulfilling the needs of applications in the cinema film production field.

Further, the HD-SD conversion facility of its format converter, which is provided as a standard accessory, extends the uses of this VTR to encompass interfacing with existing SD systems and into configuring of HD systems.

By mobilizing highly efficient digital compression technology to assure a high picture quality, this VTR significantly minimizes deterioration in the picture quality and sound quality during the dubbing process.

It features a compact size of 4U and a lightweight design that enables it to be carried around with ease, and to be readily installed in a 19-inch rack.

The equipment is set up using an interactive system whereby the operator manipulates the function buttons on the front panel and observes the menu screens on the front panel’s LED monitor.

In terms of the editing features, this VTR is capable of both assemble editing and insert editing.
