Frame Accurate Editing
Insert and assemble editing with frame accu-
racy is provided with each channel of video
and audio being independently editable.

Search
Recognisable colour pictures in shuttle mode,
at speeds up to ±50 times normal playback,
guarantee quick access to the required
material on tape.

Dynamic Tracking Playback
Dynamic Tracking heads provide high quality
slow motion pictures from -1 to +2 times nor-
mal playback speed from HDCAM and
Betacam SX tapes. The slow motion range
from Betacam, Betacam SP, MPEG IMX and
Digital Betacam cassettes is -1 to +3.
Digital Jog Sound
The HDW-2000 Series replays four channels
of digital audio in Jog mode (eight when
replaying MPEG IMX tapes). Jog response is
both fast and accurate for exact location of
edit points. The monitored audio also remains
precisely in sync with video.
Audio Crossfade
Digital Audio Crossfade provides smooth
audio transitions at audio insert edit points.
Previously recorded audio signals are read in
advance using pre-read heads and then re-
recorded onto the same track after being
mixed with the input audio signal. The cross-
fade duration can be selected from a range of
values.
Dynamic Motion Control (DMC)
Playback
The HDW-2000 Series features DMC play-
back, memorising the tape speed trajectory
over the DT speed range (-1 to +2 times
normal speed).
Pre-read Editing
Pre-read editing became an instant hit
when it first appeared on Digital VTRs over
15 years ago. HDW-2000 Series recorders
are equipped with advanced playback heads
to enable pre-read editing. Captions can be
added using a single VTR, A/B-roll editing
can be performed with two VTRs and audio
crossfades can be added for smooth audio
transitions.
1080/1035 Line Conversion
Bi-directional vertical filtering between the
two active line standards (1080 and 1035)
and enhanced quality of variable speed
Dynamic Tracking playback is included as
standard.
Shot Marks
HDW-2000 Series VTRs can scan tapes with
Shot Marks and automatically detect their
positions. After scanning, a list of Shot Marks
is displayed on the video monitor, allowing
rapid cueing to the required material.
