General and Features
This multi-purpose studio digital video cassette recorder uses 1/4-inch compact video
cassette tapes, and it is designed to record, playback and edit both interlace signals (525i/
625i, 50 Mbps recording rate) and progressive signals (525p)* as well as record and play
back existing DVCPRO signals (25 Mbps). Its 525/625 switching function makes this a studio
video cassette recorder which can be used anywhere in the world. In addition, it corporates
digital compression technology so that the deterioration in picture quality and sound quality
resulting from dubbing is significantly minimized.
The compact, lightweight 4U size makes carrying easier, even when mounted in a 19-inch
rack. The settings for the unit’s setup can be performed interactively while viewing the screen
menus on the TV monitor, and editing functions include both assemble and insert editing.
The editing functions do not work when using this unit in DVCPRO (25 Mbps) mode.
