O DVCPRO HD EX format system
The VTR unit employs the DVCPRO HD EX recording format.
Using the latest compression technology, it achieves two times the economy of the conventional DVCPRO HD format.
O PRE RECORDING function provided as a standard configuration
The VTR unit employs the PRE RECORDING function as the standard configuration.
Pictures and voices of up to 7 seconds prior to pressing the VTR REC button can be recorded. (Refer to page 26)
O Interval REC function and
The VTR unit employs the Interval REC function and the
With memory control, this unit makes it possible to record in intervals with a minimum recording time in increments of one frame.
This is particularly useful for shooting science and nature programs.
Furthermore, when the unit is used for

O Valid frame information
The VTR unit supports multiple formats.
For low frame rates, valid frame information is recorded in the user bits etc.
When HD SDI signals are output, valid frame information is also output. (Refer to page 39)
O Input signals from four separate audio channels
The unit enables audio input signals from four channels to be selected separately. Further, the level of the signal in each channel can be monitored on the LCD display window. (Refer to page 12)
O
The CUE audio recording circuitry contains a DOLBY B noise reduction circuit.
O Unislot wireless receiver
The unit’s construction supports a
O DVCPRO (IEEE1394) output provided as a standard configuration
By connecting the
However, control signals and video/audio signals from devices connected to the DVCPRO connector cannot be received. (Refer to page 16)
O
HD SDI outputs are provided independently for Video output and Monitor output.
Since it is possible to turn ON/OFF characters and markers independently for the respective outputs, it can be used fro video monitoring by video creators or recording on hard disks.
On the HD SDI output, the embedded audio and the time code overlap. (Refer to page 31)
O Down converter output provided as a standard configuration
The video output can be switched between HD SDI signals and down converter output signals (analog composite signals).
It is optimum for confirming shot images on the SD monitor. (Refer to page 31)
O SD SDI output provided as a standard configuration
The video output can be switched between HD SDI signals and down converter output signals (serial digital component signals).
It is optimum for confirming shot images on the SD monitor.
On the SD SDI output, the embedded audio overlap. (Refer to page 31)
O Remote control connector
By connecting the remote control unit
O Confirmation of return video signals
It is possible to confirm the return video signals (analog
(Only video signals from the same video system can be confirmed.)
(Refer to page 121)
O DC OUT connector
The DC OUT connector of the unit produces 1.5 A of electrical current.
By connecting an external switch to this connector, it is possible to control REC start/stop.
Since a tally lamp can be used by connecting the LED to this connector, it is useful for shooting video when fixing the camera on a crane. (Refer to page 89)
