Introduction
The AJ-D95DCP is a multi-purpose digital VTR which
is capable not only of 525i/50 Mbps recording and
playback using 1/4-inch wide compact cassette tapes
but of recording and playback onto existing DVCPRO
(25 Mbps) cassette tapes as well.
This VTR with its high picture quality, which is due to
the use of digital compression technology, significantly
reduces the deterioration in the quality of both sound
and picture accompanying dubbing operations.
Its compact size and light-weight design makes it easy
for the unit to be carried around and installed in a
rack.
A dialogue system enables the unit’s settings to be
performed while monitoring the on-screen menus that
appear on the TV monitor.

It comes equipped with grips, which come in handy
when the unit is to be carried.
Efficient installation in a rack
The unit’s width is less than one-half of the standard
19 inches, while its height is equivalent to 3U.
This means that the unit can be installed in a rack with
twice the efficiency of previous units, a feature which
makes it economical as well.
Long-time recording and playback
When an L size cassette is used, the maximum
recording and playback time is 92 minutes in the 50
Mbps mode and 184 minutes in the 25 Mbps mode.
(using AJ-5P92LP )
Both L and M size cassettes supported
This unit employs a front loading mechanism to
support the recording or playback of DVCPRO or
DVCPRO 50 format size L and M cassette tapes.
AC or DC operation
This unit supports power supplied from both AC 120V
and DC 12V sources.
Back-space assemble recording function
By using the REC button and PAUSE button
together— a combination which activates the auto
back function— pictures can be joined smoothly with
no disturbances.
On-screen menu settings
Detailed function settings tailored to the individual
user can be performed on-screen.
Audio level controls featured
The level of the signals for the two audio channels can

Time codes
Incorporated inside the unit is a TCG/TCR (time code
generator/time code reader). It is also possible to
input time codes from an external source to enable
regeneration with an external time code.
Installation of SDI connector enabled
An optional SDI input/output board (model AJ-YA95P)
for deriving the maximum from the digital VTR’s
features can be installed.
9-pin remote control
This unit comes with a 9-pin remote control connector
so that the unit can be operated using an optional
external remote controller (model AJ-A95P).
Encoder remote control
The unit’s 15-pin encoder remote control connector
enables adjustments to be made to the analog video
output section using an optional external encoder
remote controller (model AU-ER65B).
For AJ-5P92LP cassette tapes recorded using the
DVCPRO (25 Mbps) mode, use a VTR supporting
DVCPRO (25 Mbps) 184 minute tapes.
