1.On-site previewing
Use the AJ-FRC27 Frame Rate Converter to check the results of fast-motion or slow-motion effects right after recording. Combine it with the BT-LH900 HD LCD Monitor (which features gamma correction) or the AJ-GBX27 HD Gamma Corrector, and you can view images with gradation that closely approximates that of the finished images.
2.VARICAM-compatible nonlinear editing
The AJ-FRC27 lets you play VARICAM tapes recorded at 60 fps directly on a DVCPRO HD VTR. Using a VARICAM- compatible nonlinear editing system with an effective frame extraction function, you can directly upload undercranked or overcranked footage for use in 1080/24p or 720/60p
(24p over 60p).
3.Film recording
By printing onto film using the conversion table, you can produce a gradation that's appropriate for screen projection. The gradation characteristics of F.REC gamma materials are equivalent to digital scanning. Those of V.REC are equivalent to telecine.
4.Conversion to TV broadcast footage
Compared with telecine systems, the AJ-GBX27 HD Gamma Corrector offers a cheaper and easier way to convert movie content into high-quality TV content with a film-like texture.

5.24 fps non-linear editing systems
First, use off-line editing to convert the frame rate of undercranked or overcranked footage, then down-convert to the SD (480/60i) format. Next, use the EDL from the off-line editing for 1080/24p online editing. The AJ-HD1700 DVCPRO HD VTR lets you play back a 720/24p over 60p source and directly convert it to 1080/24p output.
6.Producing TV content with 30p recording
It's even simpler to use 30p and V.REC gamma recording to produce TV (60i) content or commercial footage with a film-like texture. Simply play the recorded source on a DVCPRO HD VTR to down-convert to 480/60i output. The 480/60i output will flow smoothly into a component video environment.
7.Recording in 30p and Cine Gamma (F.REC Mode)
The AJ-GBX27 HD Gamma Corrector smoothly handles footage recorded in F.REC mode, with its distinctive film-like look. It also lets you check images and lighting on the spot with an ordinary HD monitor. Handling everything from format conversion to final production, the AJ- GBX27 gives telecine- look gamma characteristics to raw camera data, allowing you to produce TV content with a film-like texture.
8. IEEE 1394 HD Nonlinear Editing
The AJ-HD1200A DVCPRO HD Camera/Recorder (equipped with the optional AJ-YAD120AG board) is the world's first camera/recorder to provide native HD data transfer with an IEEE 1394 digital interface. In this system, the AJ-HD1200A teams up with any of various makes of IEEE 1394 HD- compatible nonlinear editors. The result is a compact, affordable HD production system at a cost that has never been possible before.

9. Multi-Format Output
The down-converter integrated into the AJ-HD1200A lets you down-convert and output SD footage from an HD package. Plugging in the optional AJ-YA120AG board also enables 720/1080 line converting as well as conversion and output of 1080/24p footage from a Varicam 720/24p over 59.94p (60p) source. This function allows multi-format output for HD broadcasting, cinema, and SD broadcasting.
