  • Page 5: Features

    1-1 Features The MSW-M2100/M2100P is a digital videocassette player based on the MPEG IMX 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 6 1-1 Features High image quality MPEG-2 intraframe encoding at 50 Mbps. The video signal compression uses MPEG-2 intraframe encoding conforming to 4:2:2 Profile @ Main Level, with a 1:3.3 compression ratio; the data is then recorded with a bit rate of 50 Mbps. With the highly efficient MPEG-2 compression, the image quality is high enough to withstand a range of editing and dubbing operations.
  • Page 7 High quality variable speed playback and digital jog sound function In digital BETACAM or MPEG IMX format playback, the dedicated playback DT heads allow smooth, noiseless playback from –1 to +3 times normal speed.
