Source feeding to server/NLE

by simple remote control via RS-422A

Equipped with the industry standard RS-422A Sony 9-pin remote control interface, J series Compact Players can be used not only for viewing and logging but also for feeding source material to servers and nonlinear editors.

Note: J series Compact Players can not be used as editing players in conventional linear editing applications, or for on-air playout of material.

Choice of analogue component output or SDI output

There is a choice of outputs with the J-Series Compact Players - the J-1/A, J-2/A and J-3/A have an analogue component video output. The J-1/SDI, J-2/SDI and J-3/SDI have an SDI output. Both versions also have analogue composite video, S-video and analogue audio outputs. This choice of player provides either an analogue component video output or an SDI output, plus the common outputs.

An affordable tape logging system with JZ-1 software

The combined use of a J series player and JZ-1 Videocassette Logging Software creates an affordable tape logging system available to all playback-compatible VTR formats. This is achieved by connecting a J series player to a PC* running JZ- 1 software via an RS-232C cable.

This software provides an easy-to-use GUI to create log data of edit in/out points and to add simple comments to each logged scene. In addition, a storyboard function is available to assemble a sequence of logged scenes into a simple EDL prior to data export. Log lists can

be exported in a variety of formats including the AVID Log Exchange digitizing format for Avid Newscutter, the Sony BVE-9100 format for linear/non-linear editing systems, the XML format for Sony NewsBase™ server systems, and the HTML format for web browsing.

Note: An appropriate video capture card must be installed in the PC.

Tele-File™ system

Another important option to increase editing efﬁciency is the Sony Tele-File system, a non-contact read/write system for storing production-related data on an

IC memory embedded in a 1/2-inch cassette label. Connecting a PC running JZ-1 Videocassette Logging Software to a J series VTR allows information to

be read from and written to a Tele-File label (option: MLB-1M-100) via GUI-based operations.

Shot Mark handling

The J series VTRs can scan tapes with Shot Marks

and automatically detect their positions. After scanning, a list of all marks can be displayed on a video monitor, allowing easy cueing to any mark.
