Features

Frame rate conversion function
Using the HD-SDI input signals from a variable frame rate
camera (AJ-HDC27F) or DVCPRO HD VTR, this unit con-
verts frame rates by taking out only the effective frames of
variable frame rate recorded clips, recording them, and play-
ing them back. It can reproduce the slow or quick speed
effects intended during shooting on the spot. Its built-in
hard disk drive is capable of recording up to 100 minutes (at
24 fps) and playing back the recordings without the use of a
VTR.
Format conversion function and line/down-conversion
function
During playback, this unit can select a frame rate of 24, 25,
30 or 60 fps and line-convert to 1080/24p or down-convert
to an existing SDTV (480/60i) format. It supports both on-
line and off-line editing environments. When frame rate
conversion is not needed, the unit can provide EE through
conversion where the input signals are converted and output
directly.
AUTO REC function
When this unit is connected to a variable frame rate camera
(AJ-HDC27F) using the HD-SDI connector, each cut can be
automatically recorded in the unit as a separate clip in con-
junction with the REC/STOP operation of the camera. Even
with editing operations undertaken in the studio, each cut
can be automatically turned into a clip by using the START
and END marks recorded on the tape in the variable frame
rate camera to play back the cuts in a VTR and then record
them in this unit. Afterwards, all that the user needs to do is
choose the acceptable cuts and play them back.

Simple operation functions
Recording and playback are easily accomplished using the
unit's front panel controls. The various settings can be
checked or changed using the cursor keys.
External RS-422 control
When a simple remote controller (AJ-A95) is connected to
the remote IN connector on the unit's rear panel, the unit
can be operated by remote control using simplified remote
control functions.
Half rack unit dimensions
This unit is compactly designed with a width equivalent to a
half rack unit and a height of 5U. Its carrying handle
enables it to be carried around for use on location. Its ability
to enable the images shot to be viewed on the spot and the
results of its speed effects to be monitored makes it a wor-
thy representative of the new style of digital cinema produc-
tion.
<Notes>
O This unit is not designed to meet portability (drip-proof,
dust-proof) specifications. Bear in mind that operating it
outdoors or moving it with its power still on may cause
malfunctioning. In particular, take care to protect the
hard disk drive from vibration and impact.
O If a problem has occurred with the hard disk drive, the
recorded data may be destroyed or the system may not
start up. Consult with your dealer, and replace the drive
with a new one.
