Features

S-VHS ET format

Since this VCR is provided with S-VHS ET format, it can record or play back a VHS tape with the equivalent picture quality as an S-VHS tape. When PB S-VHS is set to AUTO, this VCR automatically detects the S-VHS ET format to play back a tape.

Field recording/field playback

Because single fields can be recorded one by one in time lapse mode and all fields can be viewed separately during playback, you can record more information.

Various recording functions

•Repeat recording: When the tape reaches the end, the VCR rewinds the tape and starts recording again from the beginning of the tape.

•Timer recording: You can set the timer on daily recording or weekly recording. You can also record by an external signal input.

•Alarm recording: If an externally connected alarm sensor is triggered, you can make a complete recording of the situation that triggered the alarm.

•One-shot recording: Recording can be done on a single-field basis.

Mode settings on monitor

You can set the modes for all functions, such as the internal timer setting, the alarm recording mode settings, etc., on the monitor.

Series recording function

This function permits long-term continuous recording using two or more time lapse VCRs.

Multiple recording modes

The time lapse intervals for recording can be set in 22 and 1 (for 1 shot) steps. At the longest interval setting, available recording time is a full 480 hours with one 120-minute tape (in SP mode).

Clear picture

This VCR uses the Reality Regenerator IC, which makes it possible to produce a clear picture.

RS-232C/RS-485 connectors for computer

You can control this VCR from a personal computer or a controller via an RS-232C or RS-485 interface.

Recording the alarm data at the top of the tape You can set to record up to 100 alarm data (count, date and time) on the beginning of the tape. These data can be displayed on the monitor screen.

Clog detection

The VCR always checks that the video signal is recorded without problem (in time lapse mode only). If the recording cannot be made properly because the recording head has become clogged, the VCR will give a warning.

Time and date retrieval function

Because this unit uses a high-performance VASS, recordings made in time lapse mode can be searched by date and time (hour and minute up to every 10 minutes), a valuable type of search function in time lapse VCRs.

Forward/reverse field advance

This VCR offers improved search functions with the ability to move both forwards and backwards between fields.

Real time display

The real time can be displayed even in time lapse mode.
