Sony J-H1 Brochure & Specs page 4

Compact Body Design
Sharing the same chassis design of the existing J Series
multi-format compact players for standard-definition
formats, both the J-H1 and J-H3 retain a compact and
lightweight design, equivalent in size to a standard
desktop PC. The J-H1 and J-H3 players are just
12 1/8 x 4 x 15 3/4 inches (307 x 100 x 397 mm) in
size and weigh only 16 lb 9 oz (7.5 kg).
Replay of Both Small and Large Cassettes
Despite their very compact designs, the J-H1 and J-H3 can
playback both large and small size cassettes.
HDCAM Playback Capability
Both the J-H1 and J-H3 have the capability to playback HDCAM
cassettes that are recorded in 1080/59.94i, 50i and
1080/29.97P, 25P formats - primarily used in High Definition
television production applications. The J-H3 has the additional
capability to playback 1080/23.98, 24P formats to address the
movie making industry, and high-end television and commercial
productions.
They can be used horizontally or placed upright with the
supplied vertical stand, allowing operators to locate
players as desired even in space-constrained or awkward
environments.
