The EVV-9000P is a Hi8 video cassette recorder for a camcorder dockable to the DXC-325P (3-chip CCD color video
camera).
Hi8 format for high quality picture —
The Hi8 video system gives much better picture quality than
standard 8 mm video system. For Hi8 recording, Hi8 ME
(Metal Evaporated) videocassettes must be used. The EVV-
9000P is provided with both Hi8 and standard record/
playback mode. The cassette type is automatically detected.
And the recorded mode is also automatically detected when
playback.
Y/C separated video input
Conventionally, video equipment exchanges the composite
video signal containing the luminance (Y) signal and the
chrominance (C) signal mixed. The composite video signal
is liable to produce interference resulting in picture quality
loss. The EVV-9000P, on the contrary, uses the Y/C
separated video input, which minimizes flickers and color
blur. Sharpness is enhanced to such an extent that hair and
fine stripes are clearly visible.
One AFM and two PCM audio channels
The EVV-9000P provides high quality audio with its
monaural AFM and stereo PCM recording system.
Built-in 8 mm time code generator
The 8 mm time code is recorded onto a tape for precise
editing reference.
8 mm tape format
The video, audio and time code signals are recorded on the
8 mm video tape as follows.
Video (and AFM audio) track
Tape width
8mm TC data
PCM audio track
Longitudinal track
8mm time code
The 8 mm time code has been developed to record the
absolute frame address onto the tape for precise editing
reference. The 8 mm time code is digitally recorded by units
of hour, minute, second and frame by the video heads.
The 8 mm time code is used only for 8 mm format. It is not
compatible with time codes recorded in other time code
format.
