addition to the internal time code, an external time code can also be recorded as the LTC on
the unit’s tape.
Multi-functional interfaces
•
Serial digital input and output connector
The unit features a HD component serial interface input/output connector to enable HD
component video signals and 8-channel digital audio signals to be interfaced using just the
one BNC connector. (SMPTE292M/BTA S-004)
It is also possible to output SD component serial signals provided that the HD-SD format
converter board (optional accessory) is installed. (SMPTE259M-C, 272M, 294M)
•
Analog video output connector
Composite output connectors are provided as a standard feature. They output composite
signals during DVCPRO reciprocal playback, DV playback or down-conversion. At all other
times, they output the black burst signal.
•
AES/EBU audio input/output connectors
Digital audio input/output connectors for 8 channels are featured as a standard accessory.
•
SDTI input/output connector
Use of the SDTI board (optional accessory) enables interfacing with the compressed
component signals still in their original form. (SMPTE 305M)

9-pin RS-422A and RS-232C remote control connectors
In addition to the standard 9-pin serial remote (RS-422A) control connector, the unit is
equipped with RS-232C and 50-pin parallel remote control connectors.
The RS-422A facility enables parallel operation if a loop connection has been performed
between the unit and another VTR.
