Features (continued)

Cross-convert function

The unit comes with a built-in cross-converter to enable 1080i/59.94 Hz format signals to be converted into 720p/59.94 Hz format signals or, conversely, to enable 720p/59.94 Hz format signals to be converted into 1080i/59.94 Hz format signals.

Cross-convert with 1080i/50 Hz and 720p/50 Hz is also possible.

HD analog component output

This feature enables HD signals to be monitored with ease.

Gamma correction of cinema for film

This feature corrects the image from a variable frame rate camera in cinema gamma mode for film to an image with film quality.

AC/DC operation

The unit supports AC supply voltages ranging from 100V to 240V and DC12V power supply as well.

Editing function

Using the 9-pin serial remote (RS-422A), assembly or insertion is allowed.

(Only with 1080i/59.94 Hz, 720P/59.94 Hz, 1080i/50 Hz, and 720P/50 Hz)

Encoder remote controller function

Using the external encoder remote controller, each setting for the video output signal can be adjusted.

Follow-on recording function

Using the REC button and PAUSE button together activates the auto back function, enabling the next image to follow on from the last image with no disruptions in the continuity.

On-screen menu settings

Highly detailed and individualized function settings can be performed on-screen.

Time code

The unit is equipped with a built-in time code generator/ time code reader (TCG/TCR). Since time code signals can also be input from an external device, regeneration to an external time code is possible.

Since the backup function using a backup battery is incorporated in the TCG (time code generator), time codes during free-run operations are retained even if the power of the unit is turned off.

Joystick and variable speed playback

The unit is equipped with a joystick (stick controller) for use of the search function during variable speed playback.

In addition, the joystick allows convenient setting of the onscreen menu/time code generator.

PF (Programmable Function) button

The unit is equipped with three PF buttons. Selecting the three most frequently used setup menus, the menu settings can be changed with the buttons on the front panel.

UMID information recording and playback

This unit supports the recording/playback of UMID (Unique Material Identifier) information in the SMPTE 330M standard. UMID information can be confirmed with the diagnostic menu.

VTRs that do not support the recording/playback of UMID information will not playback UMID information correctly. In addition, when VTRs that do not support recording/playback of UMID information are connected to this unit, UMID information will not be recorded correctly.

VANC data recording/playback

VANC data packets that added to the Y stream of HD SDI can be recorded with the video signal. In addition, VANC data packets can be played back with the Y stream of HD SDI. This unit is capable of input and output through the IEEE1394 standard interface.

AUTO REC Feature

This unit can be connected to our camera recorder using HD SDI signals. It is possible to remotely turn ON/ OFF the recording feature of this unit by using overlapped commands.
