Features

Light and compact

This unit is a 4U size digital VTR and can be easily mounted in a 19-inch rack by using the rack mounting adapters (AJ-MA75P, optional accessory).

Up to 92 minutes of recording

Mcassettes (max. 33 minutes: using the AJ-5P33MP) and L cassettes (max. 92 minutes: using the AJ- 5P92LP) can be used with this unit. Tape width is a compact 1/4-inch.

Superior picture quality

Superior picture quality is achieved through 4:2:2 component signal recording at 2 times the recording rate of the existing DVCPRO (25 Mbps) format.

Switching between 525i and 625i TV systems

SD955B

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

Colour 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.

Multifunctional interface

O Serial digital input/output

A component serial interface is provided as standard and enables interfacing of the serial digital component signals.

O Analogue video input/output

Both composite and component signal outputs are provided as standard.

Use of an analogue video input board (AJ-YA932G, optional accessory) enables interfacing of the component (Y, PB, PR) and composite signal input.

Use the AJ-YA931G analog video input board when the AJ-SD955B is to be used with a 525i system.

O AES/EBU audio input/output

Digital audio input/output connectors are provided.

O IEEE1394 digital input/output

Use of an digital video interface board (AJ- YAD955G, optional accessory) enables input/output interfacing of the digital signals with the IEEE1394 standard.

O SDTI input/output

Use of an SDTI board (AJ-YAC930G, optional accessory) enables input/output interfacing of the SDTI (Serial Data Transport Interface) signals.

O 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 provided.

The RS-422A enables another VTR to be operated in parallel with the unit if loop connection is used.

O 4-channel, high-sound-quality digital audio The 4-channel PCM audio enables independent editing for all four channels in addition to channel mixing.

O Menu-based setup

The setup settings, which are conducted prior to operating the unit, are performed while viewing the setup menus on the unit’s display or a TV monitor.
