Dial shuttle

Shuttle operations enable the tape to be played back with colour images at a speed of up to 32 times the forward and reverse direction.

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 on this VTR as the LTC time code.

Multifunctional interface

• Serial digital input/output

The component serial interface, a standard feature, allows for interfacing with component signals in serial digital (SMPTE 259M-C/272M-A/EBU Tech.3267-E).

• Analogue video input/output

Composite and component signal outputs are provided as a standard feature, and component (Y, PB, PR) and composite signal input interfacing is enabled by the use of an analogue video input board (optional accessory).

• AES/EBU audio input/output

Digital audio input/output connectors are featured.

• SDTI input/output (option)

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

• 9-pin (RS-422A)/(RS-232C) remote

In addition to the standard 9-pin serial remote (RS-422A), RS-232C and 25-pin parallel remote 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.

4-channel high-sound-quality digital audio

The 4-channel PCM audio allows for not only independent editing and mixing on all four 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.
