High quality variable speed playback and digital jog sound function

In digital BETACAM or MPEG IMX format playback, the dedicated playback DT heads allow smooth, noiseless playback from –1 to +3 times normal speed. In analog Betacam compatible playback also, similar dedicated DT heads allow noiseless playback from –1 to +3 times normal speed, and in Betacam SX format compatible playback, special multi-head playback technology allows noiseless playback from –1 to +2 times normal speed.

In slow motion operation, the digital jog sound function provides the same ease of operation as a conventional analog VTR.

Wide range of editing functions

Using this unit in combination with a recorder, you can carry out both assemble editing and insert editing automatically. All of the necessary editing functions are provided to set and amend edit points, to preview and review results of editing, and so on.

DMC playback

This allows automatic playback with a varying speed memorized beforehand for the desired segment.

Tele-File functions

Tele-File enables data writing/reading between cassettes with memory labels and VTRs. It increases the efficiency of operations such as cuing up and playback, and source data management.

Remote control function

This unit can be controlled from an external remote controller or editor through an interface complying with RS-422A (serial 9-pin). Since two remote control connectors are provided, you can also control a number of VTRs simultaneously.

Additionally, a parallel (50-pin) interface is also fitted as standard, supporting easy external control through the parallel interface.

Rack mounting

Using the optional RMM-131 Rack Mount Adaptor, you can mount the unit in a standard EIA 19-inch rack.

For details of rack mounting, refer to the Installation Manual.
