IEEE 1394 Digital Interface

Equipped with an IEEE 1394 interface, the AJ-HD1400 can transfer DVCPRO compression data without quality loss to a PC- based nonlinear editing system for low-cost desktop HD editing. SD output is also possible. Also, HD sources can be down- converted and output as either DVCPRO 50 or DV data. You can also use the AJ-HD1400 for convenient backup recording from the AJ-HDX900 or AG-HVX200 DVCPRO HD camera-recorder.

HD-SDI Input/Output

The AJ-HD1400's HD-SDI interface allows easy HD-SDI input/output and SD-SDI output, making the AJ-HD1400 ideal for use in an HD broadcasting

system. Use the AJ-HD1400 for line recording, in-studio production, data transmission and more. A switch is provided on the front panel for selecting the HD-SDI or IEEE 1394 interface for the input signal.

RS-422 9-pin Remote for Editing Use*

The AJ-HD1400's RS-422 9-pin remote interface allows assemble/insert editing similar to a studio recorder. Control from an external editing controller allows to-the-frame editing precision (with HD-SDI connection and using TC mode). This interface also makes the AJ-HD1400 a good choice for high-end production in non-compression, nonlinear editing systems.

*Only in 1080/59.94i, 720/59.94p, 1080/50i, or 720/50p video modes.

Encoder Remote Function

The AJ-HD1400 provides a new D-Sub 15-pin encoder remote control terminal. This gives the AJ-HD1400 data transmission capabilities that rival many studio recorders – something you wouldn't expect in such a compact, affordable unit.

UMID* Data Recording and Playback

The AJ-HD1400 records and plays data that conforms to the UMID standard and contains a variety of supplementary information. This allows it to read GPS data (latitude, longitude and altitude) recorded by the AJ-HDX900/AJ-SDX900 Camera- Recorder. The AJ-HD1400 can handle VANC for a variety of user data including Closed Captioning, Dolby Dial Norm, and network signaling.

*UMID stands for Unique Material Identifiers, which are defined for AV material use in the SMPTE 330M international standard.

Small, Lightweight and

Easy to Carry

Measuring only 8-1/2" wide, the AJ-HD1400 is virtually the same size as a 3U-tall waveform monitor, making it a space-saver in OB vans and other tight places. Its light 18.74-pound weight and convenient handle make it easy to carry.

AC/DC Operation

Operating on either AC or DC (12 V), the versatile AJ-HD1400 is a great desktop or rack-mounted VTR that you can also take away for OB van or field use.

Versatile Interfaces and Functions

2-channel analog audio in, and 4-channel analog audio out.

Built-in SMPTE time code generator/reader and time code in/out.

Auto rewind, auto repeat and memory stop functions.

Optional AJ-A95 remote controller available, with shuttle search.

Auto back function for seamless recording.

Rec inhibit switch.

Headphone output with volume control.

New Joystick Design

The joystick has been redesigned to offer easy, comfortable Slow and Shuttle Search operation. For added convenience, the stick can also be used to select menu items and set the time code.

PF (Programmable

Function) Buttons

You can assign functions from the setup menu to each of the three PF buttons provided. This customizing feature gives you quick, direct access to the

operational functions you use most.
