Recording and playing back V blanking data

In addition to closed caption and VITC, up to 28 lines of the character data per frame in the V blanking period can be recorded and played back.

<Note>

There is some limitation to the number of lines in which signals can be recorded.

Time codes

This unit comes with a built-in time code generator (TCG)/time code reader (TCR). In addition to the internal time code, an external code input or input signal VITC can be recorded in the machine as the LTC time code.

Multi-function input/output interfaces

• Analog input/output

Component (Y, PB, PR) and composite signal input and output connectors are provided.

• Serial digital input/output

Digital component interfacing complying with the EBU Tech. 3267-E serial digital signal standard is possible when the optional component serial interface board (AJ-YA750P) is used. Transfer using SDTI is enabled by the AJ-YAC850P SDTI/SDI board (option). (SMPTE 305M)

• AES/EBU audio input/output

Digital audio input and output connectors are provided.

• 9-pin (RS-422A)/(RS-232C) remote

In addition to the standard 9-pin serial (RS-422A) connector, RS-232C and 25-pin parallel connectors are also featured.

The RS-422A connector enables another VTR to be operated in parallel with the unit if a looping connection is used for the two units.

2-channel high-sound-quality digital audio

Sound can be edited separately for two channels while channel mixing capabilities are also available. One channel is provided for the analog cue track.
