FCC Note:
This  device  complies  with  Part  15  of  the  FCC  Rules.
To  assure  continued  compliance  follow  the  attached
installation  instructions  and  do  not  make  any
unauthorized modifications.
This  equipment  has  been  tested  and  found  to  comply
with  the  limits  for  a  class  A  digital  device,  pursuant  to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide  reasonable  protection  against  harmful
interference  when  the  equipment  is  operated  in  a
commercial  environment.  This  equipment  generates,
uses,  and  can  radiate  radio  frequency  energy  and,  if
not  installed  and  used  in  accordance  with  the
instruction  manual,  may  cause  harmful  interference  to
radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a

in  which  case  the  user  will  be  required  to  correct  the
interference at his own expense.
$THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED
To  ensure  safe  operation  the  three-pin  plug  must  be
inserted  only  into  a  standard  three-pin  power  point
which is effectively earthed through the normal house-
hold wiring.
Extension  cords  used  with  the  equipment  must  be
three-core  and  be  correctly  wired  to  provide
connection  to  earth.  Wrongly  wired  extension  cords
are a major cause of fatalities.
The  fact  that  the  equipment  operates  satisfactorily
does not imply that the power point is earthed and that
the installation is completely safe. For your safety, if in
any  doubt  about  the  effective  earthing  of  the  power
point, consult a qualified electrician.

Introduction
This  DVCPRO  HD  format  HD  digital  VTR  uses  1/4˝
wide  small  cassette  tapes  to  record  and  play  back
interlace HD signals (1080i/59.94 Hz) and progressive
HD signals (720p/59.94 Hz).
It  contains  built-in  down-converter  outputs  as  a
standard  feature  to  provide  interfacing  with  existing
SD  (standard  definition)  systems  by  means  of  HD-SD
conversion.The  deterioration  in  the  picture  and  sound  quality
which  accompanies  dubbing  is  significantly  reduced
by  this  high  picture  quality  VTR  which  incorporates
high-efficiency digital compression technology.
The VTR has a compact and lightweight design which
enables  it  to  be  carried  around  or  installed  in  a  rack
with ease.
The user performs the equipment settings interactively
while viewing the on-screen menus on the TV monitor.
Features
Compact size and light weight
The  VTR  has  a  width  of  8 7/16˝  (214  mm),  a  height
of  5 1/4˝  (132  mm)  and  a  depth  of  16 15/16˝  (430
mm), and it weighs 18.04 lb (8.2 kg).  It comes with
grips which make it easy and convenient to carry it.
Efficient installation in a rack
The  width  of  the  VTR  is  half  the  standard  19˝
dimension,  and  its  height  is  equivalent  to  3U.    This
makes  its  installation  in  a  rack  twice  as  efficient  as
in the past for greater economy.
Up to 46 minutes of recording
The  VTR  uses  only  1/4˝  wide  L-size  cassette  tapes
(max. 46 minutes).

Do  not  use  tapes  other  than  DVCPRO  HD  L-size
cassettes (max. 46 minutes).
High picture quality
The  VTR  achieves  a  high  picture  quality  by  means
of  4:2:2  HD  component  signal  recording  conducted
at a rate which is four times faster (100 Mbps) than
the existing DVCPRO format.
Switching between 1080i and 720p systems
By  switching  to  the  matching  video  signal  input
system  (1080i/59.94  Hz  or  720p/59.94  Hz)  in  the
setup  menu  settings,  the  VTR  can  record  and  play
back signals in either signal system.
SD down-converter
The  VTR  comes  with  a  built-in  SD  down-converter
as a standard feature.  This enables SD SDI signals
or  analog  composite  signals  to  be  output  at  the
same  time  as  HD  SDI  signals  are  output,  and  this
makes  it  possible  to  view  the  signals  on  the  SD
monitor.
AD/DC operation
The  VTR  operates  on  both  AC  120  V  and  DC  12  V
power.Frame-to-frame continuity function
By  using  the  REC  button  and  PAUSE  button  in
combination,  the  auto  back  function  is  activated  so
that  the  images  are  joined  together  smoothly,
without any breaks.
On-screen menu settings
The  highly  individualized  function  settings  can  be
performed on-screen.
Time code
The VTR is equipped with a built-in TCG (time code
generator)/TCR  (time  code  reader).    An  external
time  code  can  also  be  input,  thereby  enabling
regeneration to the external time code.
Multi-functional interfaces
OSerial digital input/output
The  VTR  has  HD  component  serial  interface
input/output  facilities  so  that  the  HD  component
video signals and digital audio signals of 8 channels
can  be  interfaced  using  a  single  BNC  connector.
(SMPTE 292M/296M/299M)
It  also  contains  a  built-in  SD  down-converter  as  a
standard  feature  so  that  SD  component  serial
signals can also be output.
(SMPTE 259M-C, 272M-A)
OAnalog video output
Also  provided  as  a  standard  feature  is  a  built-in
analog  composite  down-converter  to  enable
monitoring on an SD monitor.
O9-pin remote control connector
This  connector  enables  operations  to  be  performed
from  the  external  remote  controller  (AJ-A95,
optional accessory).

GSTOP button
When  this  is  pressed,  the  tape  stops  traveling,  and
still  pictures  can  be  monitored  if  the  TAPE/EE
switch Mhas been set to TAPE.
The  drum  continues  to  rotate  even  in  the  stop
mode, and the tape remains wrapped tightly around
the drum.
When  the  stop  mode  continues  longer  than  the
allotted  time,  the  VTR  is  automatically  set  to  the
standby OFF (half loading) mode in order to protect
the tape.
The  stop  mode  is  established  immediately  after  a
