Multi-functional interfaces
zSerial digital input/output connector
The VTR comes with an HD component serial interface
input/output connector. This one BNC connector
enables HD component video signals and 8-channels
digital audio signals to be interfaced. (SMPTE 292M,
296M, 299M)
It is also equipped with an HD/SD format converter as
a standard accessory so that SD component serial
signals can also be output. (SMPTE 259M-C, 272M-
A, ITU-R BT.656-4)
z Analog video output connector
Composite signals are output during DVCPRO50- or
DVCPRO-compatible playback, DV playback, DVCAM
playback and down-conversion.
z AES/EBU audio input/output connectors
Digital audio input/output connectors for 8 channels are
featured as a standard accessory.
z Up-conversion recording of SD signals
SD component serial signals (SMPTE 259M-C, 272M-
A, ITU-R BT.656-4) can be up-converted and recorded
as HD signals.
z 9-pin RS-422A and RS-232C remote control connec-
tors
In addition to the standard 9-pin serial remote (RS-
422A) control connector, the VTR is provided with RS-
232C and 50-pin parallel remote control connectors.
The RS-422A facility enables parallel operation if a loop
connection has been established between the VTR and
another VTR.
