Features

Compact size and light weight

This is a 4U digital VTR. Using the rack-mounting adapters (AJ-MA75P: optional accessory), it can also be easily housed in a 19-inch rack.

Up to 126 minutes of recording

Using the DVCPRO HD-LP recording system, up to 126 minutes of material can be recorded on the newly developed

1/4˝ XL-size cassette tape.

High picture quality

The VTR’s high picture quality is achieved by 4:2:2 HD component signal recording using a recording rate (100 Mbps) which is 4 times higher than that of the existing DVCPRO format.

1080i/720p (* 1), 59.94 Hz/60 Hz/50 Hz signal switching

By making menu selections, the signals of the respective formats can be recorded and played back.

*1: When the system frequency of 50 Hz has been selected, recording and playback using the 720p format are not possible.

Frame rate conversion function

By making menu selections, the VTR can output signals after converting them to the 1080/24psf (25psf) format when it plays back a tape recorded by a variable frame rate camera at a frame rate of 24fps (25fps).

SDI interface

The VTR comes with an HD serial digital interface as a standard accessory.

Playback compatibility with DVCPRO systems

Besides DVCPRO HD-LP recording and playback, the VTR can also play back tapes which have been recorded using

the existing DVCPRO HD, DVCPRO50 and DVCPRO systems.

Consumer-use DV tapes (SP) and DVCAM tapes can also be played back on this VTR.

Digital slow motion/dial jog

Panasonic’s unique digital slow motion technology enables

 

clear playback (of tapes recorded using the DVCPRO HD-

 

LP system) at speeds ranging from

j1 k to

i2 k.

<Note>

 

 

Some noise may occur during slow playback (using an

 

external controller) at speeds of almost

exactly

j1 k or

i2 k.

 

 

Search speed

Search speed enables tapes (recorded using the HD-LP system) to be played back with color images at speeds of up to 100 times in the forward or reverse direction.

Time codes

This VTR comes with a built-in time code generator (TCG)/time code reader (TCR).

In addition to the internal time code, an external time code can also be input and recorded as the LTC on the VTR.

Multi-functional interfaces

• Serial digital input/output connector

The VTR comes with an HD component serial interface input/output connector. This one BNC connector enables HD component video signals and 8-channels digital audio signals to be interfaced. (SMPTE 292M, 299M, BTA S- 004)

It is also equipped with an HD/SD format converter as a standard accessory so that SD component serial signals

can also be output. (SMPTE 259M-C, 272M-A, 294M)

• Analog video output connector

Composite signals are output during DVCPRO50- or DVCPRO-compatible playback, DV playback, DVCAM playback and down-conversion.

• AES/EBU audio input/output connectors

Digital audio input/output connectors for 8 channels are featured as a standard accessory.

• SDTI input/output connector

Use of the SDTI board (optional accessory) enables interfacing with the compressed component signals still in their original form. (SMPTE 305M, 321M)

• SD signal up-conversion and recording

Using the input up-converter board (optional accessory), SD component serial signals (SMPTE 259M-C) can be up-converted and recorded as HD signals.

•9-pin RS-422A and RS-232C remote control connectors

In addition to the standard 9-pin serial remote (RS-422A) control connector, the VTR is provided with RS-232C and 50-pin parallel remote control connectors.

The RS-422A facility enables parallel operation if a loop connection has been established between the VTR and another VTR.

8-channel high-sound-quality digital audio

The 8-channel PCM audio feature allows for not only independent editing but mixing as well on all 8 channels. One channel is provided for the analog cue track.

Menu-driven setup

The setup settings, which are conducted prior to operating the VTR, are performed while the operator views the setup menus either on the VTR’s LCD monitor or on a TV monitor.

Multi-functional front panel with LCD monitor

The front panel’s multiple functions, including the LCD monitor for monitoring images, the function buttons and large-size display panel, are contained within the 4U dimensions and designed to improve operating ease.
