High quality variable speed playback and
digital jog sound function
In HDCAM format playback, the dedicated playback
DT heads allow smooth, noiseless playback. During
Betacam SX playback, noiseless playback is achieved
through unique multihead playback technology.
In slow motion operation, the digital jog sound
function provides the same ease of operation as for a
conventional analog VTR.
Wide range of editing functions
By combining two units, 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 editing
This allows automatic editing with a varying playback
speed memorized beforehand for an edit segment.
Split editing
In insert editing, this allows editing with the audio IN
and OUT points to be displaced from the video edit
points.
Preread editing
This allows you to play back prerecorded video and
audio material, edit it by applying effects with an
external device, and then rerecord in real time on the
same tape.
Cross-fade editing
In audio editing, to avoid unnatural effects at edit
points, you can fade the audio track. You can select
cut-in, fade-in, fade-out, or cross-fade.
Downward converter function
The unit has an HD-to-SD downward converter
function, and can output standard definition SDI,
analog component and analog composite signals even
while playing back an HDCAM format tape.
Upward converter function
The unit features a standard definition to high
definition (SD-to-HD) upward converter as standard
equipment. This allows high-quality HD signals to be
output even when playing back tapes recorded in
formats other than HDCAM.
Tele-File functions
Tele-File enables data writing/reading between
cassettes with memory labels and VTRs. It increases
the efficiency of operations such as recording,
playback and editing, 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.
