Enhanced Front Panel with LCD Monitor

The front panel has been enhanced to include an LCD monitor and numerical key pad. Use the LCD to display the on-screen menu for easy function setting or to monitor input or output images*. Up to four user files with settings can be saved to and loaded from SD Memory cards.

*When recording or playing in the HD format, the down-converted (letterbox) image is displayed.

32x Shuttle and Jog

The AJ-HD1800 provides fast shuttle searching at up to 32x normal speed (with HD-LP tape) in both forward and reverse, plus fast forward and rewind (+/–100x). In jog mode, you can also monitor the audio, for better accuracy and response.

Noiseless Slow Playback

The playback speed varies (+/-4.9x) according to the dial angle. You get noiseless slow playback from -1x to 2x normal speed (with HD-LP tape).* PCM/CUE audio can be monitored. The Variable Memory function lets you store and recall dial operations.

*Noiseless slow extends from -1x to 1.1x normal speed when playing DVCPRO HD, DVCPRO50, DVCPRO, or DV/DVCAM tapes.

Multi-Cue Functions

Multi-Cue: You can register up to 60 cue (index) points. Cueing is then possible at any of those points.

Compact, Easy to Install

The 4RU-size AJ-HD1800 fits into a 19-inch rack. Use the optional AJ-MA75P* Rack Mount Adapter for easy installation in the studio or in an OB van. With its depth reduced by about 30 mm compared with previous models, the AJ-HD1800 is both smaller and lighter.

*Slide rail is required separately ( not included).
