Chapter 1 Overview
Features for ease of operation
Compact, lightweight, low power consumption
The VTR is small and light enough to be used in outside
broadcast vans or in EFP (Electronic Field Production)
assignments.
Remote control operation
The VTR has a serial RS-422A 9-pin connector to allow
control of the VTR by an external control unit.
The VTR also comes with 9-pin REMOTE 1-IN(9P) and
REMOTE 1-I/O(9P) connectors to support bridge
connection of multiple SRW-5000/5500 units or other
VTRs equipped with 9-pin remote connectors for
simultaneous operation. Furthermore, you can control the
VTR from an external control unit with a parallel (50-pin)
interface.
Digital hours meter
The meter can show the total elapsed time since the VTR
was turned on, total drum revolution time, total tape
running time and total number of threadings and
unthreadings.
Self-diagnosis
This function allows the VTR to perform self diagnostics
when a malfunction occurs. An error message is displayed
and a history of all errors that have occurred is recorded.
Easy-to-maintain plug-in boards
The VTR uses plug-in circuit boards to simplify servicing
and inspection.
Mountable in standard 19-inch rack
The unit can be mounted in an EIA-standard 19-inch rack.
For rack mounting, refer to the Installation Manual.

recall.
