Switching between 525i and 625i TV systems

By selecting the setting (setup menu item No. 070) that matches the video input signal TV system (525i or 625i), the signals of each TV system can be recorded and/or played back.

SDI interface

A 4:2:2 serial digital interface is a standard feature.

Compatibility with DVCPRO (25 Mbps) format

This unit can record, play back and edit material in the existing DVCPRO (25 Mbps) format.

Compatibility with general consumer video equipment

DV cassette tapes containing material shot with a consumer digital camera or the like can be played back on this unit. A cassette adapter (AJ-CS455P) is necessary when a mini DV cassette tape is to be used.

Digital slow motion/jog dial

Panasonic’s original digital slow-motion technology makes it possible to attain clear pictures even during slow playback at speeds of –0.43 to +0.43/+0.5/+0.75. (DVCPRO, DVCPRO50)

Dial shuttle

Color images can be played back in forward and reverse directions up to a maximum of a32 normal playback speed.

Recording and playback of UMID information Recording and playback of UMID (Unique Material Identifier) information complies with the SMPTE 330M standard.

UMID information can be checked on the DIAG menu.

UMID information cannot be played back correctly by VTRs that do not support the recording and playback of UMID information.

In addition, even if a VTR that does not support the recording and playback of UMID information is connected to this unit and recording performed, UMID information will not be recorded correctly.

Time codes

This unit has a built-in TCG (time code generator)/TCR (time code reader).

In addition to the internal time code, external time code input or input signal VITC can be recorded on this VTR as the time code.

Multi-function front panel with LCD monitor

The LCD panel for monitoring images, the large-size display panel and many function buttons are housed on the 4U size front panel, and this is a layout which makes for improved operability.

Direct audio channel mixing

By operating the buttons on the front panel, the audio signals (CH1 to CH4) to be recorded can be switched directly.

PF (Programmable Function) buttons

Four of the setup menu items which are used most frequently can be registered in four PF buttons.

The settings for the items registered can be changed directly using these buttons.
