High-quality digital recording Output interface The SRW-1 uses a Y/Pb/Pr component system and an Component video signals are converted into serial data, RGB component system to record video signals. An AES/ multiplexed with audio signals and timecode, and output in EBU format with a wide dynamic range is used for 12- the HD SDI format.
ITU-R709, SMPTE 274M, and BTA S-002B (SMPTE 260M) are compressed The control panel is independent of the SRW-1 (VTR main unit), allowing it to be installed in the most convenient according to the MPEG-4 Studio Profile. Audio signals are processed uncompressed, according to the AES/EBU location in your operating environment.
