Tapes - Panasonic AJ-SD755 Operating Instructions Manual

Tapes

Consumer-use DV and DVCAM cassettes
(Standard DV and DVCAM cassettes, mini DV and
DVCAM cassettes)
O Use a cassette adapter (AJ-CS455P, standard
accessory) when a mini DV or DVCAM cassette is
to be used.
Note that inserting a mini DV or DVCAM cassette
without the use of a cassette adapter will cause
malfunctioning.
Also note that long-duration mini DV cassettes (80
minutes in the standard mode and 120 minutes in
the LP mode) cannot be used.
O It is not possible to play back tapes which have
been recorded in the LP mode.
O When editing material recorded on a consumer-use
DV or DVCAM cassette, first record the material on
a DVCPRO tape or other tape used by VTRs for
broadcast applications.
O The maximum transport speed of a mini DV or
DVCAM cassette tape is 32a.
O The images may be subject to disturbance during
the slow motion playback of consumer-use DV and
DVCAM cassette tapes.
O From the perspective of protecting consumer-use
DV and DVCAM cassette tapes, minimize the
number of times the tapes are cued up at the same
locations as much as possible.
O When consumer-use DV and DVCAM cassette
tapes are used, the maximum time for STILL
TIMER is set to 10 seconds.
O The sampling rate of the audio signals recorded on
a consumer-use DV tape is 48 kHz.
When the AJ-YAD755G digital video interface
board is used, audio signals can be recorded at a
rate of 44.1 kHz or 32 kHz on a consumer-use tape
only when SDTI/1394 has been selected for the
input signal.
O During recording on a consumer-use DV tape,
scenes can be recorded with continuity between
frames by exercising control from the controller or
personal computer (when the AJ-YAD755G digital
video interface board is used) which has the
REC/PAUSE command.
However, in this case, the video and sound for the
one frame before and after the continuity point may
be disturbed.
It is recommended that tapes bearing the
Panasonic brand be used as the consumer-use DV
tapes.
