changed so that the data reading of
the clock phase is shifted to the
position where the error rate is
lowest. The result is accurate,
consistent suppression of block
noise and reliable, professional
standard performance at all times.
Sweeper heads
During recording and playback, to
reduce the block noise which is caused by dust adhering to the heads,
JVC’s HDV & DV camcorders and recorders incorporate an advanced
drum assembly with specially designed “sweeper” heads. These
dummy heads sweep off any magnetic material dropped by the tape or
any dust that may have entered from outside the unit.
Various interfaces
HDMI OUT
The BR-HD50 is equipped with an all-in-one HDMI output for direct
digital connection to the latest high-definition projector and LCD
displays.
RS-422A interface
For compatibility with the widest range of editing systems, the
BR-HD50 is equipped with an industry-standard RS-422A interface,
allowing easy integration with high-grade NLE systems.
IEEE 1394 interface
For lossless dubbing and recording of both HD and SD programmes,
compressed HD (MPEG-2) or SD (DV) digital signals can be input or
output to or from external devices such as a non-linear editing system.
A front panel switch allows easy switching between SD and HD.
Versatile analogue connections
In addition to IEEE 1394 input & output, the BR-HD50 is equipped with
BNC connectors for analogue component output in HD and SD and
also for composite input & output. Y/C input & output connectors are
4-pin mini DIN.
User-friendly design
Large full counter
A big 8-digit LED display on the front panel displays time code, user
bits and VTR status.
Audio indicator
This indicator lights up whenever audio signals are input. Also, it
provides a convenient way to check for the presence of audio signals
during tape playback.
High-speed time code search & blank search
The built-in time code generator provides preset, rec run and regen time
codes. The DV 20x search function (100x max. in the FF or REW mode)
and the HD 8.5x forward search function (6.5x in reverse), provides
super-fast access to any desired point on the tape.
Continuous recording
When a camcorder is connected to the BR-HD50 via the IEEE 1394
connector, the BR-HD50 will start recording 5 minutes before the tape
in the camcorder ends. This enables continuous shooting for extended
periods with no breaks in the recording.
On-screen menu
Systematic, easy-to-understand menu screens simplify set-up and
operational procedures. Menu setting is performed via the buttons on
the front panel.
