3 DESCRIPTION

When you use a VCR as backup to your observation and monitoring practices, you no longer have to worry about missing a thing. With the RT30A and RT960A Series 30hr and 960hr High Density Video Cassette Recorders you have superior video and audio quality with the versatility to best suit your application needs.

The high density RT30A and RT960A feature gives you double (PAL) / triple (NTSC) the number of picture updates per second than conventional VCRs, ensuring you do not miss any incident, yet keeping the high quality picture. Highly developed compact mechanical components ensure long lasting reliability even with the high speed rewind of less than 70 sec.

The RT30A gives the option of recording events with 6, 18 or 30 hrs of real-time video. The RT960A provides the same real-time video plus up to 960 hrs of time-lapse video. Audio recording and playback is also available in the 6, 18 and 30 hour modes.

Fantastic features like the superimosed on-screen menu in 7 languages provide easy setup. Other features include built-in time/date generator, a built-in back-up battery that provides time/date/settings backup during power loss for up to 2 weeks, joggle shuttle for instant picture retrieval, tape remaining indication and automatic recording after power failure. The list is endless, ensuring that these VCRs can meet your required application specification.

Technically the RT30A and RT960A are the most advanced Real- Time video recorders available. V-Sync selection, "video- through", security-lock, video-loss, Vext-pulse and V-Lock functions are just a few features that will enhance the functions that need special attention.

Alarm detection is operational from the recording or ready modes and will turn on the alarm indicator and "Alarm-On" output. It also inserts an Alarm-Code in the on-screen display for easy location during later alarm search. The selected alarm recording speed can be programmed to continue for a period of 30 seconds, 1, 3, 5, 10 minutes or until tape end.
