I/O specifications and interfaces
≥Serial digital I/O facilities
The unit is equipped with hi-vision serial digital interfaces which meet the BTAS-004A, S-005A and S-006A
standards and which enable both video and audio signals to be transferred using the same coaxial cable. An
SD (525/625-line standard TV) serial digital interface is provided for operation with HD/SD mixing.
≥Format converter function
A format converter board has already been equipped in the unit as a standard accesory. This facilitates con-
version between HD and SD, and it makes the integrated production of Hi-Vision and standard TV broadcast
much simpler.
In addition to the composite analog signals, a serial digital interface (SDI signals) which can switch the mul-
tiplex transfer of audio signals ON or OFF is included in the SD output signals. SDI signals enable digital con-
nection to a DVCPRO/D5VTR.
≥AES audio input/output facilities
Separate digital audio inputs and outputs are provided for each of the 4 (8) channels, and standard interfac-
ing with a variety of digital audio units is possible. (8 channels with 1080/23.98p, 1080/24p, 1080/25p,
1080/50i and 576/50i formats. 4 channels/8 channels with 1080/59.94i, 720/59.94p and 480/59.94i formats.)
≥Remote control
In addition to the standard 9-pin serial (RS-422A) connector, 50P parallel and RS-232C connectors are pro-
vided on the unit for remote control. An AV control connector is also featured.
Slow motion, search and editing functions
≥Slow motion/jog
The incorporation of Panasonic’s unique AT (auto tracking) mechanism makes slow-motion playback and
jogging possible at a speed which can be varied from j1k to i2k normal tape speed.
≥50t shuttle search
Shuttle search is possible at up to 50k normal tape speed in the forward or reverse direction.
≥Simultaneous playback monitoring
Simultaneous playback monitoring of video, digital audio, time code and CTL signals is possible.
≥Automatic editing functions
A full range of editing modes are provided including assemble, insert, audio split and variable memory.
≥Multi cue points
One hundred cue points can be marked for searches and prerolling.
Operation and maintenance
≥Channel condition monitoring
The error rate is monitored at all times. When the setting is exceeded, an indicator on the front panel lights
to warn the operator that the tape is approaching the end of its service life or that the heads are clogged.
≥Built-in test signal generator
Color bar signals and other test signals, which come in handy for conducting maintenance and adjustments
and for checking the connections, are generated internally.
