Panasonic AJ-HD1400 - Manual (Page 5)

IEEE 1394 Digital Interface
Equipped with an IEEE 1394 interface, the AJ-HD1400 can
transfer DVCPRO compression data without quality loss to a PC-
based nonlinear editing system for low-cost desktop HD editing.
SD output is also possible. Also, HD sources can be down-
converted and output as either DVCPRO 50 or DV data. You can
also use the AJ-HD1400 for convenient backup recording from
the AJ-HDX900 or AG-HVX200 DVCPRO HD camera-recorder.
HD-SDI Input/Output
The AJ-HD1400's HD-SDI interface allows easy HD-SDI
input/output and SD-SDI output, making the AJ-HD1400 ideal for
use in an HD broadcasting
system. Use the AJ-HD1400 for
line recording, in-studio
production, data transmission
and more. A switch is provided
on the front panel for selecting
the HD-SDI or IEEE 1394
interface for the input signal.
RS-422 9-pin Remote for Editing Use*
The AJ-HD1400's RS-422 9-pin remote interface allows
assemble/insert editing similar to a studio recorder. Control from
an external editing controller allows to-the-frame editing precision
(with HD-SDI connection and using TC mode). This interface also
makes the AJ-HD1400 a good choice for high-end production in
non-compression, nonlinear editing systems.
*Only in 1080/59.94i, 720/59.94p, 1080/50i, or 720/50p video modes.
Encoder Remote Function
The AJ-HD1400 provides a new D-Sub 15-pin encoder remote
control terminal. This gives the AJ-HD1400 data transmission
capabilities that rival many studio recorders – something you
wouldn't expect in such a compact, affordable unit.
New Joystick Design
The joystick has been
redesigned to offer easy,
comfortable Slow and Shuttle
Search operation. For added
convenience, the stick can also
be used to select menu items
and set the time code.
PF (Programmable
Function) Buttons
You can assign functions from the setup menu to each of the
three PF buttons provided. This customizing feature gives you
quick, direct access to the
operational functions you use
most.
UMID* Data Recording and Playback
The AJ-HD1400 records and plays data that conforms to the
UMID standard and contains a variety of supplementary
information. This allows it to read GPS data (latitude, longitude
and altitude) recorded by the AJ-HDX900/AJ-SDX900 Camera-
Recorder. The AJ-HD1400 can handle VANC for a variety of user
data including Closed Captioning, Dolby Dial Norm, and network
signaling.
*UMID stands for Unique Material Identifiers, which are defined for AV material
use in the SMPTE 330M international standard.
Small, Lightweight and
Easy to Carry
Measuring only 8-1/2" wide, the
AJ-HD1400 is virtually the same
size as a 3U-tall waveform
monitor, making it a space-saver
in OB vans and other tight
places. Its light 18.74-pound
weight and convenient handle
make it easy to carry.
AC/DC Operation
Operating on either AC or DC (12 V), the versatile AJ-HD1400 is a
great desktop or rack-mounted VTR that you can also take away
for OB van or field use.
