Complete Editing Functions -- AJ-SD955B
The AJ-SD955B features an edit control panel and provides
functions such as assemble editing, insert editing, preview,
review, and trim. Single-event editing and audio split are
also possible, using the RS-422A control interface and a
standard editing controller.
625/525 Selectable — AJ-SD955B
The 625/525 selectable function in the AJ-SD955B lets you
play and use NTSC footage in program production. Use the
standard-equipped SDI or optional AJ-YA931G 525
analogue input board for 525 input, and the
standard-equipped SDI and analogue out for output.
New Illuminated Jog & Shuttle Dial
The ring of the newly designed Jog & Shuttle dial lights up
in search mode. This, plus the large LCD metering window,
gives you easy, precise operation. In shuttle mode you can
search in colour at ±32 times normal speed. Slow-motion
playback is provided at –0.43 to +0.43, +0.5, +0.75 times
normal speed in DVCPRO50 and DVCPRO. Digital audio
monitoring is possible in jog mode.
UMID Data Recording and Playback
The AJ-SD955B and AJ-SD930B record and play data that
conform to the UMID standard and contain a variety of
supplementary information. This allows it to read GPS data
(latitude, longitude and altitude) recorded by the
AJ-SDX900 Camera-Recorder. The AJ-SD955B and
AJ-SD930B can also handle VANC data for broadcast such
as Teletext.
*UMID (Unique Material Identifier): These identifiers for the AV material identifiers
have been defined in the SMPTE 330M international standard.
Easy Set-Up with On-Screen Display
On-screen display makes it easy to change a number of
initial settings. The display combines a simple,
straight-forward control panel with a host of functions.
This on-screen display is now available on one of the SDI
outputs in addition to the composite monitor output, thus
eliminating the need for analogue inputs on the Video
Monitor.
AJ-SD930B: Simple Operation Panel
The AJ-SD930B has virtually the same performance,
interface, and features as the AJ-SD955B, but without the
edit control panel and 525 switchable function.
This makes the cost-effective AJ-SD930B ideal at the heart
of a low-cost system for dubbing or on-air transmission, or
as a player in an editing system.
