Features
Recording and playback of UMID information
Recording and playback of UMID (Unique Material
Identifier) information complies with the SMPTE 330M
standard.
UMID information can be checked on the DIAG menu.
Time codes
This unit has a built-in TCG (time code generator)/TCR
(time code reader).
In addition to the internal time code, external time code
input or input signal VITC can be recorded on this VTR
as the time code.
Multi-function front panel with LCD monitor
The LCD panel for monitoring images, the large-size
display panel and many function buttons are housed
on the 4U size front panel, and this is a layout which
makes for improved operability.
Direct audio channel mixing
By operating the buttons on the front panel, the audio
signals (CH1 to CH4) to be recorded can be switched
directly.
PF (Programmable Function) buttons
Four of the setup menu items which are used most
frequently can be registered in four PF buttons.
The settings for the items registered can be changed
directly using these buttons.
UMID information cannot be played back correctly by VTRs
that do not support the recording and playback of UMID
information.
In addition, even if a VTR that does not support the recording
and playback of UMID information is connected to this unit
and recording performed, UMID information will not be
recorded correctly.
