Features
All-in-one tower design
This is the first non-linear editor to incorporate a VTR for uploading and downloading applications.
This feature
@
translates into savings in terms of both the cost and space required for an externally connected VTR, and it
enables DVCPRO
tapes to be loaded just like floppy disks or magneto-optical disks.
The unit also contains a
hard disk for audio-video recording, and its size is the same as a tower-type personal computer.
It can be
placed by the side of a desk for highly efficient editing operations.
Transfer and saving at 4 times norma! speed
Uploading and downloading between the built-in VTR and hard disk can be conducted at 4 times normal speed.
As a result, it takes much less time to perform the preparatory steps which handicap non-linear editing.
Same high picture quality recording as with DVCPRO
The same digital component compression recording system as for DVCPRO is used to record data onto the hard
disk. The resulting picture quality is higher than that achieved by JPEG which has been adopted by many non-
linear editors (comparison made at the same transfer rate).
Seventy minutes of picture and sound data can be recorded on the internal hard disk (standard specifications:
16GB).
Transfer of data while still compressed
The data is uploaded or downloaded
at 4 times normal speed between the tape and disk using the DV
compression format which obviates the need for A/D (D/A) conversion and compression/expansion processes.
Consequently, there is absolutely no deterioration in the picture quality during transfer.
Editing of data while still compressed
In the case of cut editing, the unit leaves the recorded data completely unchanged.
With the data still in its
compressed form, changes are made only to the read sequence and positions.
During recording, the DV
compressed data does not need to be expanded at all, and it can be edited up to the form taken by the
@
completed package. This means that high picture quality is maintained even after editing.
(When the special effect and superimpose functions are used, the data is expanded into full bit digital video data,
and compressed back again after processing.)
Real-time previous of special effects
The unit contains a switcher so that wipe, dissolve and other special effects can be previewed on a real-time
basis during A/B roll editing.
Trial-and-error operations can be repeated any number of times while checking
how the results turn out.
External VTR control (RS-422A)
®
The unit's RS-422A (9 Pin) remote connector enables a wide range of analog or digital VTRs to be controlled.
This function enables material to be incorporated and completed packages to be transmitted.
WJ-MX1000 operation system adopted
The unit features a user interface which is compatible with the Panasonic's non-linear AV work station (WJ-
MX1000), and the software (see Note) has been upgraded so that it can be run optimally in Windows NT.
(Note: The software is handled by Matsushita Communication Industrial Co., Ltd Broadcast System Division.)
Streamlined operations using mouse
All the operator has to do in order to add, replace or delete cuts is rearrange the clips by operating the mouse.
Cut editing can be achieved with excellent response.
Warning
&
This unit must not be used on board a vehicle.
Doing so may damage the hard disk
drive and destroy the data.
