General and Features
This unit is a multi-purpose studio-use digital VTR which employs 1/4-inch wide compact
cassette tapes to enable recording, playback and editing with a high picture quality at the 50
Mbps video recording rate, and it is also capable of recording, playback and editing in the
existing DVCPRO (25 Mbps) format. Its 625/525 switching function makes this a studio video
cassette recorder which can be used anywhere in the world. In addition, it corporates digital
compression technology so that the deterioration in picture quality and sound quality
resulting from dubbing is significantly minimized.
The compact, lightweight 4U size makes carrying easier, even when mounted in a 19-inch
rack. The settings for the unit’s setup can be performed interactively while viewing the screen
menus on the TV monitor, and editing functions include both assemble and insert editing.
