  • Page 7: Overview

    1-1 Features The HDW-S2000/S2000P is a high-definition (HD) digital videocassette recorder based on the HDCAM format. This unit uses large scale integrated circuits for signal processing, and has a simple internal construction, allowing it to provide functionality at least equivalent to a conventional VTR in a compact (4U size), lightweight, and low power consumption design.
  • Page 8 1-1 Features High-performance heads and compatibility functions The newly developed high-performance heads and dynamic tracking (DT) technology provide high- density recording and playback in narrow tracks with high reliability. In addition to HDCAM recording and playback heads, the unit is equipped with Betacam SX playback heads and analog Betacam DT heads, for compatibility with existing recording formats.
  • Page 9 High quality variable speed playback and digital jog sound function In HDCAM format playback, the dedicated playback DT heads allow smooth, noiseless playback. During Betacam SX playback, noiseless playback is achieved through unique multihead playback technology. In slow motion operation, the digital jog sound function provides the same ease of operation as for a conventional analog VTR.
