General outline

This unit is a multi-format VTR capable of recording and playing back HD signals (1080i/59.94 Hz, 1080i/50 Hz, 720p/59.94 Hz, 720p/50 Hz) in DVCPRO HD-LP* format using a small cassette tape 1/4 inch wide, HD (DVCPRO HD-LP/DVCPRO HD) and SD (DVCPRO50/DVCPRO) recorded in DVCPRO format as well as conventional consumer DV/DVCAM tapes.

Adown-converter as a standard feature verifies all tapes using analog composite signals and SD SDI output. Furthermore, output signals converted to 1080/24PsF can be obtained from the 720/24p over 60p source recorded with the variable frame rate camera. These signals can be used for cinema as well.

Similarly, each of the following output signals can be

obtained.

z 720/25p over 60p sources can be converted to 1080/25

PsF or 576i format output signals.

z 720/50p over 60p sources can be converted to 720/50p, 1080/50i or 576i format output signals.

By mobilizing highly efficient digital compression technology to assure a high picture quality, this VTR significantly minimizes deterioration in the picture quality and sound quality during the dubbing process.

It features a compact size of 4U and a lightweight design that enables it to be carried around with ease, and to be readily installed in a 19-inch rack.

The equipment is set up using an interactive system whereby the operator manipulates the function buttons on the front panel and observes the menu screens on the front panel’s LCD monitor.

In terms of the editing features, this VTR is capable of both assemble editing and insert editing.

*DVCPRO HD-LP has the same format as DVCPRO HD EX described in the operation manual for our camera recorder.
