1-2 Features of the VTR unit 1-3 Features of the Input/Output unit
Chapter 1 General (continued)
O DVCPRO HD EX format system
The VTR unit employs the DVCPRO HD EX recording
format.
Using the latest compression technology, it achieves two
times the economy of the conventional DVCPRO HD
format.
O PRE RECORDING function provided as a standard
configuration
The VTR unit employs the PRE RECORDING function as
the standard configuration.
Pictures and voices of up to 7 seconds prior to pressing
the VTR REC button can be recorded. (Refer to page 26)
O Interval REC function and ONE-SHOT Recording
function provided as a standard configuration
The VTR unit employs the Interval REC function and the
ONE-SHOT Recording function as the standard
configuration.
With memory control, this unit makes it possible to record
in intervals with a minimum recording time in increments
of one frame.
This is particularly useful for shooting science and nature
programs.
Furthermore, when the unit is used for one-shot recording,
frame-by-frame shooting is easily accomplished.
(Refer to page 27)
O Valid frame information
The VTR unit supports multiple formats.
For low frame rates, valid frame information is recorded in
the user bits etc.
When HD SDI signals are output, valid frame information
is also output. (Refer to page 39)
O Input signals from four separate audio channels
The unit enables audio input signals from four channels to
be selected separately. Further, the level of the signal in
each channel can be monitored on the LCD display
window. (Refer to page 12)
O Built-in DOLBY NR
The CUE audio recording circuitry contains a DOLBY B
noise reduction circuit.
O Unislot wireless receiver
The unit’s construction supports a slot-in wireless
receiver, which is available as an optional accessory.
(Refer to page 86)
O DVCPRO (IEEE1394) output provided as a standard
configuration
By connecting the non-linear editor to the DVCPRO
output connector, it is possible to shoot and edit at the
same time to improve mobility.
However, control signals and video/audio signals from
devices connected to the DVCPRO connector cannot be
received. (Refer to page 16)
O Two-system output of HD SDI signals provided
HD SDI outputs are provided independently for Video
output and Monitor output.
Since it is possible to turn ON/OFF characters and
markers independently for the respective outputs, it can
be used fro video monitoring by video creators or
recording on hard disks.
On the HD SDI output, the embedded audio and the time
code overlap. (Refer to page 31)
O Down converter output provided as a standard
configuration
The video output can be switched between HD SDI
signals and down converter output signals (analog
composite signals).
It is optimum for confirming shot images on the SD
monitor. (Refer to page 31)
O SD SDI output provided as a standard configuration
The video output can be switched between HD SDI
signals and down converter output signals (serial digital
component signals).
It is optimum for confirming shot images on the SD
monitor.
On the SD SDI output, the embedded audio overlap.
(Refer to page 31)
O Remote control connector
By connecting the remote control unit (AJ-RC10G), which
is available as an optional accessory, the unit can be
controlled remotely. (Refer to page 89)
O Confirmation of return video signals
It is possible to confirm the return video signals (analog
HD-Y signals) supplied to the GENLOCK IN connector of
this unit in the viewfinder to confirm programs.
(Only video signals from the same video system can be
confirmed.)
(Refer to page 121)
O DC OUT connector
The DC OUT connector of the unit produces 1.5 A of
electrical current.
By connecting an external switch to this connector, it is
possible to control REC start/stop.
Since a tally lamp can be used by connecting the LED to
this connector, it is useful for shooting video when fixing
the camera on a crane. (Refer to page 89)
