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 time code can also be recorded as the LTC on

the unit’s tape.

Multi-functional interfaces

•Serial digital input and output connector

The unit features a HD component serial interface input/output connector to enable HD component video signals and 8-channel digital audio signals to be interfaced using just the one BNC connector. (SMPTE292M/BTA S-004)

It is also possible to output SD component serial signals provided that the HD-SD format converter board (optional accessory) is installed. (SMPTE259M-C, 272M, 294M)

•Analogue video output connector

Composite output connectors are provided as a standard feature. They output composite signals during DVCPRO reciprocal playback, DV playback or down-conversion. At all other times, they output the black burst signal.

•AES/EBU audio input/output connectors

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

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

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

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

8-channel high-sound-quality digital audio

The 8-channel PCM audio allows for not only independent editing and mixing on all eight channels. One channel is provided for the analogue CUE track.

Menu-driven setup

The setup settings, which are conducted prior to operating the unit are performed while viewing the setup menus either on the unit’s display or a TV monitor.
