1-1 Major Features

5S-VHS/S-VHS ET recording

S-VHS or S-VHS ET is employed as the recording mode. Employing the S-VHS ET recording mode enables recording with a horizontal resolution of 400 lines on a VHS cassette. The VHS mode is only available for playback.

5Extended timelapse recording for up to 960 hours Recording times are selectable from 2 hours (SP mode), 6 hours (EP mode) and L12/L18/L24/24/48/72/120/168/ 240/480/960 (Timelapse mode) (when T-120 tape is used).

5High-resolution recording

Delivers horizontal resolution of more than 400 lines even in color mode.

*When a tape recorded on this unit is played back on another VCR, noise may appear on playback picture.

5High-density recording (HDR) function

Using the EP head, the tape is advanced at a fine pitch for timelapse recording. In this way, about three times more information is recorded in the same period than in conventional timelapse modes. While this results in some degradation of picture quality, the increased coverage allows you to analyze the development of a situation in greater detail. The actual recording duration on the tape is the same as that of an ordinary timelapse recording (select with menu switch <HIGH DENSITY REC>).

5Alarm recording function

When an alarm signal is input in the Record mode, the 2/6/L12/L18/L24/24/48-hour mode is automatically engaged. Alarm recording time can be selected from 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, 120, or 180 sec., to COUNTINUE, or set manually.

An index code is automatically recorded at the start point of the alarm recording for use as an alarm cue signal. Alarm recording points can be accessed quickly with the alarm search function.

5Sensor recording

Whenever an alarm signal is input in the Stop mode (Stop, Timer Recording Standby or Operating Off mode), the Record mode is automatically engaged.

5Time/date generator

Superimposes date, month, year, hour, minute and second on the image during recording. Also allows you to display the number of alarms, alarm time, and the number of the power failures on a monitor.

5Timer-recording function

Up to 8 programs can be set for daily, weekly, or weekday timer-recording. You can also set timer recording for up to 16 days a year by specifying the date (holidays, for example).

5Tape position search function

You can automatically search the start of an alarm recording or search for a recording made at a specified date and time.

5Recording check function

Recording conditions (quality) can be checked at any time during recording by pressing the REC REVIEW button.

5Operation lock system

The secret operation lock system prevents an accidental or deliberate interference with VCR operation.

5Camera switching signal output terminal

5Warning function

Error indications are shown on the front panel display. Error warnings include condensation and problems with cassette loading, cassette unloading, or the rotating system operation mode.

5Operating mode-off video throughout function Even when the operating mode is off, the camera’s EE input can be output from the VCR.

5Series recording function

Two or more AG-TL950P can be connected for extended, long-term series recording. As the tape in each VCR reaches the end, the next unit in the series will automatically start recording.

5Time adjust function

With the IN/OUT terminal for time adjustment, the time difference can be set to “0” with multiple AG-TL950P connected. (adjustment time: 00:00/12:00)
