Features of the VTR Section

Digital system

The VTR section features a component digital recording system that employs the latest compres- sion technology and non-compressed PCM recording for audio. This system provides superior S/ N, frequency band and waveform characteristics as well as reproduction of detailed areas, etc., and realizes even higher picture and sound quality.

One of the following 4 modes can be selected for conducting recording and playback: 16:9 (50 Mbps), 4:3 (50 Mbps), 16:9 (25 Mbps) and 4:3 (25 Mbps).

Rec review function

By automatically rewinding and playing back the last two to ten seconds or so of the recording, this function enables what has been recorded to be promptly checked out.

Playback function

This function enables the playback picture (black-and-white picture) to be seen on the viewfinder screen. In addition, color playback pictures can be output from the unit’s VIDEO OUT connector.

Built-in time code generator/reader

Time code information can be recorded and played back on a dedicated subcode track.

Locking of the time code to an external source

The built-in time code generator can be locked to an external generator. Also, the built-in time code generator uses a lithium battery as its back-up power supply, allowing time codes to be backed up for approximately one year even if power is not supplied to the unit.

Built-in DOLBY NR SystemF

A Dolby B Noise Reduction System is built in for audio recording in the longitudinal direction.

Successive shooting

Images can be shot successively within an accuracy of 0–o1 frame simply by pressing the VTR START button or the lens VTR button.
