Introduction

The AJ-D95DCP is a multi-purpose digital VTR which is capable not only of 525i/50 Mbps recording and playback using 1/4-inch wide compact cassette tapes but of recording and playback onto existing DVCPRO (25 Mbps) cassette tapes as well.

This VTR with its high picture quality, which is due to the use of digital compression technology, significantly reduces the deterioration in the quality of both sound and picture accompanying dubbing operations.

Its compact size and light-weight design makes it easy for the unit to be carried around and installed in a rack.

A dialogue system enables the unit’s settings to be performed while monitoring the on-screen menus that appear on the TV monitor.

Features

Compact size and lightweight

The unit is 8-7/16˝ (214 mm) wide, 5-1/4˝ (132 mm) high and 16-15/16˝ (430 mm) deep, weighing 17.16 lb (7.8 kg).

It comes equipped with grips, which come in handy when the unit is to be carried.

Efficient installation in a rack

The unit’s width is less than one-half of the standard 19 inches, while its height is equivalent to 3U.

This means that the unit can be installed in a rack with twice the efficiency of previous units, a feature which makes it economical as well.

Long-time recording and playback

When an L size cassette is used, the maximum recording and playback time is 92 minutes in the 50 Mbps mode and 184 minutes in the 25 Mbps mode.

(using AJ-5P92LP )

For AJ-5P92LP cassette tapes recorded using the DVCPRO (25 Mbps) mode, use a VTR supporting DVCPRO (25 Mbps) 184 minute tapes.

Both L and M size cassettes supported

This unit employs a front loading mechanism to support the recording or playback of DVCPRO or DVCPRO 50 format size L and M cassette tapes.

AC or DC operation

This unit supports power supplied from both AC 120V and DC 12V sources.

Back-space assemble recording function

By using the REC button and PAUSE button together— a combination which activates the auto back function— pictures can be joined smoothly with no disturbances.

On-screen menu settings

Detailed function settings tailored to the individual user can be performed on-screen.

Audio level controls featured

The level of the signals for the two audio channels can be adjusted for recording and playback applications.

Time codes

Incorporated inside the unit is a TCG/TCR (time code generator/time code reader). It is also possible to input time codes from an external source to enable regeneration with an external time code.

Installation of SDI connector enabled

An optional SDI input/output board (model AJ-YA95P) for deriving the maximum from the digital VTR’s features can be installed.

9-pin remote control

This unit comes with a 9-pin remote control connector so that the unit can be operated using an optional external remote controller (model AJ-A95P).

Encoder remote control

The unit’s 15-pin encoder remote control connector enables adjustments to be made to the analog video output section using an optional external encoder remote controller (model AU-ER65B).
