Panasonic AJ-SD930B, AJ-SD955B, DVCPRO50 Complete Editing Functions -- AJ-SD955B, 625/525 Selectable AJ-SD955B, New Illuminated Jog & Shuttle Dial , UMID Data Recording and Playback, Easy Set-Up with On-Screen Display, AJ-SD930B: Simple Operation Panel

Complete Editing Functions -- AJ-SD955B

The AJ-SD955B features an edit control panel and provides

functions such as assemble editing, insert editing, preview,

review, and trim. Single-event editing and audio split are

also possible, using the RS-422A control interface and a

standard editing controller.

The 625/525 selectable function in the AJ-SD955B lets you

play and use NTSC footage in program production. Use the

standard-equipped SDI or optional AJ-YA931G 525

analogue input board for 525 input, and the

standard-equipped SDI and analogue out for output.

The ring of the newly designed Jog & Shuttle dial lights up

in search mode. This, plus the large LCD metering window,

gives you easy, precise operation. In shuttle mode you can

search in colour at ±32 times normal speed. Slow-motion

playback is provided at –0.43 to +0.43, +0.5, +0.75 times

normal speed in DVCPRO50 and DVCPRO. Digital audio

monitoring is possible in jog mode.

The AJ-SD955B and AJ-SD930B record and play data that

conform to the UMID standard and contain a variety of

supplementary information. This allows it to read GPS data

(latitude, longitude and altitude) recorded by the

AJ-SDX900 Camera-Recorder. The AJ-SD955B and

AJ-SD930B can also handle VANC data for broadcast such

as Teletext.

*UMID (Unique Material Identifier): These identifiers for the AV material identifiers

have been defined in the SMPTE 330M international standard.

On-screen display makes it easy to change a number of

initial settings. The display combines a simple,

straight-forward control panel with a host of functions.

This on-screen display is now available on one of the SDI

outputs in addition to the composite monitor output, thus

eliminating the need for analogue inputs on the Video

Monitor.

The AJ-SD930B has virtually the same performance,

interface, and features as the AJ-SD955B, but without the

edit control panel and 525 switchable function.

This makes the cost-effective AJ-SD930B ideal at the heart

of a low-cost system for dubbing or on-air transmission, or

as a player in an editing system.
