General and Features
This unit is a DVCPRO HD-LP format HD digital video cassette recorder which is designed to
use 1/4-inch wide compact cassette tapes.
It is a studio-use digital VTR which can record, play back and edit HD signals (1080i/720p,
59.94 Hz), and can play back tapes recorded using the existing DVCPRO (25 Mbps/50
Mbps) format. Use of the HD-SD conversion facility of the format converter (standard feature
of this unit) enables interfacing with existing SD systems and development into HD systems.
This VTR with its high picture quality uses high-efficiency digital compression technology to
reduce by a significant margin the degree of deterioration in the sound and picture quality
which accompanies dubbing.
The unit features a compact 4U size and lightweight design to make it easier to carry around.
It can also be easily installed in a 19-inch rack.
The settings for the unit's setup are performed interactively while viewing the display tube at
the top front of the unit or the screen menus shown on a TV monitor. Both assemble and
insert editing facilities are provided as editing functions.
