(option).
• When the serial number of this unit is 12001 or higher
Double-speed playback is standard and does not require
the HKSR-5803HQ (option).
• The DIGITAL I/O (AES/EBU) INPUT/OUTPUT
connectors cannot be used for double-speed playback/
recording.
• Only a limited number of devices can support signals
processed for double-speed playback.

Internal format conversion function
By installing an optional HKSR-5001, when the operation
mode of this unit is 23.98PsF or 24PsF, a 59.94i or 60i
mode HD SDI output (audio/VITC multiplex) is made
available. Additionally, conversion in either direction
between 1920×1080 and 1280×720, and conversion from
4:2:2 signal to 4:4:4 signal is possible, and with the
additional installation of an HKSR-5803SQ or HKSR-
5803HQ, conversion from a 4:4:4 signal to a 4:2:2 signal
is also possible.
Noiseless playback with non-tracking head (for
HDCAM-SR format only)
In addition to a playback head, a non-tracking head is
provided. Noiseless playback within the range of –0.5 to
+1.0 times normal playback speed is thus possible.
Noiseless playback with DT heads (for Digital
Betacam or HDCAM format only)
When using the HDCAM format, the dedicated playback
DT heads allow you to perform noiseless playback in the
range from –1 to +2 times normal speed, including still-
picture playback. When using the Digital Betacam format,
the playback range is from –1 to +3.
Note
Digital Betacam playback and HDCAM playback require
the HKSR-5802 (option).
Video and audio confidence heads
Video and audio (channels 1 through 12) signals can be
recorded and simultaneously played back to check the
recording.
Internal time code generator and reader
The internal time code generator allows you to record time
code (LTC or user bits) together with video and audio
signals. Time codes (LTC or user bits) can be read during
playback using the time code reader.
Computer servo system
Computer-controlled servo motors provide direct drive for
the drum, capstan, and two reels, enabling quick and
accurate tape access.
Capstan override function
You can adjust the playback speed by ±15% to ensure
synchronization between, for example, two VTRs playing
back the same program.
Note
Noiseless playback cannot be performed for HDCAM-SR
format when playback speed exceeds +1 times normal
speed.
Independent audio level control
It is possible to adjust the recording and playback levels
either independently on each channel or simultaneously on
all 12 channels for HDCAM-SR format while monitoring
the peak values. For Digital Betacam or HDCAM format,
adjusting the playback level is possible either
independently on each channel or simultaneously on all
channels (4 channels and the cue track audio).

Tele-File memory label system
This unit incorporates the Tele-File memory label system
to allow users to read, write and update videocassette
management information, log data (IN/OUT points) and
cue point data on memory labels, providing greater
efficiency in cassette management and editing.
2) Tele-File
A contact-free system for writing, reading, and modifying video cassette-
related information on IC memory-bearing labels. Tele-File is a trademark
of Sony Corporation.
Features for ease of operation
Remote control operation
The VTR has a serial RS-422A 9-pin connector to allow
control of the VTR by an external control unit.
The VTR also comes with 9-pin REMOTE 1-IN(9P) and
REMOTE 1-I/O(9P) connectors to support bridge
connection of multiple SRW-5800 units or other VTRs
equipped with 9-pin remote connectors for simultaneous
operation. Furthermore, you can control the VTR from an
external control unit with a parallel (50-pin) interface.
