Panasonic AJ-HD1800P Connections (continued), <Notes, Example of connections in 25/50 Hz (SD) mode, Note concerning tapes played back by this VTR

Connections (continued)

Example of connections in 23/24 Hz or 25/ 50 Hz (HD) mode

Example of connections in 25/50 Hz (SD) mode

When a tape recorded with a frame rate of 24 fps (25/50 fps) using a variable frame rate camera is played back on the unit, data can be converted and output in 1080/24 psf (1080/ 25 psf or 1080/50i) and recorded on the AJ-HD3700 series. Shown in the figure below is an example of the deck-to-deck connections.

Input the 48 Hz (or 50 Hz) reference signal as the REF input.

<Notes>

zWhen the tape begins to travel at 1k speed, the video may be disturbed and the audio muted for several frames in order to synchronize the REF input with the tape.

zVITC signals are not output to the SD SDI and VIDEO OUT connectors in the 23/24 Hz mode.

zIn the 25/50 (HD) Hz mode, the output video signals of the SD SDI and VIDEO OUT connectors are delayed by approximately 1 field in relation to the HD SDI output.

zHD SDI output is muted in the 25/50 Hz (SD) mode.

When a tape recorded with a frame rate of 25/50 fps using a variable frame rate camera is played back on the unit, data can be converted and output in 576/50i and recorded in the SD-VTR. An example of a connection between decks is shown in the following illustration.

Input the 50 Hz reference signal to the SD REF input connector as the REF input.

Note concerning tapes played back by this VTR

zUse tapes which have been shot by a variable frame rate camera.

zDo not use tapes which are copies of shot tapes or edited tapes. Doing so will cause the tape management information to be lost, and normal conversion and playback may not be possible as a result.

zTo convert a tape recorded at frame rates other than 24 fps (25/50 fps) into 1080/24 psf (1080/25 psf or 1080/ 50i), use the frame rate converter (optional AJ-FRC27).
