The HOME menu is displayed.

This VTR comes already programmed with menus that correspond to specific operating objectives, and the
operations performed on each differ from one menu to another. When a menu is selected using a menu se­lection button, what appears on the display changes, and the function keys (F1 to F13) also implement the
function corresponding to the respective menu items.
SET UP menus are provided in order for the user to have settings on hand for the seldom used functions, etc.
among the various menu items.
The HOME menu is provided as the VTR’s basic menu. It automatically appears on the display when the
power has been turned on. (However, the IC CARD menu will automatically appear if an IC card has been in­serted.)

ONoteN

The animation display of a cassette tape appears after the cassette tape has been inserted.

Description

Automatically compensates for the start initiated for the playback
mode. For instance, when the VTR is set to the playback mode
from the preroll point, it synchronizes its own phase to ensure
that the tape arrives at the IN point after the preroll time has
elapsed. (The function takes effect only when the front panel
controls are used for operation.)

ON: Sync play function operates.
OFF: Normal playback is assumed.

FIELD: Plays the tape field by field.
FRAME1/
FRAME2°1: Plays back on a frame by frame basis at the j1a to

i1a speed and on a field by field basis at all other
speeds. If the tape material image has a scene
cutoff when moving from No. 2 field to No. 1 field,
as when editing with the No. 1 field as cutoff, use
FRAME 1.
Use Frame 2 when the No. 2 field is the scene
cutoff.

Description

When digital signals output from the unit are processed by an
external unit, a phase difference between video and audio
signals can be produced. Such differences can be eliminated by
adjusting the audio and video signal phases.
≥Refer to “Adjusting the audio output signals in relation to the

video signals.”

Selects the digital processing in the JOG mode.

ON: Performs PCM audio digital processing.
OFF: No PCM audio digital processing.

Selects the digital processing in the VAR mode.

ON: Performs PCM audio digital processing.
OFF: No PCM audio digital processing.

Uses V-fade to instantaneously eliminate the audio noise
occurring during playback at the cut edit points.
ON: Activates the playback V-fade processing at all cut edit

points on the tape.

OFF: No playback V-fade processing.
When shifting from stop to play status, some time elapses before

the audio signals are output. This time lapse can be shortened.

INSTANT

: Shortens the time lapse before audio is output. The

first part of the audio signal to be output, however,
produces an incomplete sound.
Use for transmission purposes is not recommended.
Convenient when used for search operations, for
instance, because the audio signals can be checked
quickly.

DELAYED: Outputs the audio signals as soon as they are

complete.

For holding the peak recording and playback levels.

ON

: Peak level is held.

OFF: Peak level is not held.

For switching the scale of the audio level meter on display to

Description

This menu item can be set by pressing the F10 key together with
the F key.

PCM: The style is set to the normal PCM audio mode.
DATA: The style is set to the data mode (compressed audio:

Dolby-E).

This enables recording and playback to be conducted either
through the rate converter in the AUDIO I/O area and with the
digital filter activated (function ON) or with the rate converter
bypassed and the digital filter remaining inactive (function OFF).

ON: For recording and playback through the rate converter.
OFF: For recording and playback with the rate converter bypassed.

Transfers the VTR to the AUDIO OUT SET UP STATE menu
screen. (See page 70.)

This enables the sound of channels 1 through 4 to be output to
the audio AES output and embedded audio output channels 5
through 8 even when an audio 4-channel format or 4-channel
tape is to be played back.
ON: The sound of channels 1 through 4 is output to channels

5 through 8.

OFF: The sound is not output to channels 5 through 8.

ONoteN

If the CH1-4 setting on the AUDIO OUT SDI ASSIGN MENU is
OFF, the sound is not output to embedded audio output
channels 5 through 8 even when ON has been selected as the
setting of this menu item.

≥The menu item is set to ON or OFF for both the recording and playback systems simultane-

ously: it is not possible to select the item’s setting for recording or playback only.

≥Similarly, the menu item is set to ON or OFF for all channels CH1 to CH8 (or CH1 to CH4)

simultaneously: it is not possible to select the item’s setting for specific channels only.

≥If the DATA mode has been selected using F10 (STYLE) when the system format is 1080/59i

4ch or 720/59p 4ch, the DATA mode setting takes precedence. (Recording and playback are
conducted with the rate converter bypassed.)

≥The menu item is displayed and ON or OFF can be selected as its setting only with the system

formats listed below.

≥1080/23p (psf)_8ch, 1080/25p (psf)_8ch, 1080/50i_8ch, 1080/59i_8ch,
≥720/59p_8ch, 1080/59i_4ch, 720/59p_4ch

≥When 1080/24p(psf) 8ch has been selected as the system format, the menu display is cleared,

and the rate converter is forcibly set to ON.

≥When 525/59i 4ch, 525/59i 8ch or 625/50i has been selected as the system format, the menu

display is cleared, and the rate converter is forcibly set to OFF.

∑ Precautions when selecting OFF as the rate converter setting

≥The video input and AES input must be synchronized.
≥The video output and reference signal selected by OUT REF must be synchronized.
≥During P.PLAY playback, the frequency of the digital audio output ceases to be 48 kHz, and it

is no longer possible for the signals to be received by external components.

≥Similarly, during frame rate conversion playback (such as when a tape recorded at a system

frequency of 23 Hz is to be played back at a system frequency of 25 Hz), it is no longer possi­ble for the signals to be received by external components.

1080/59i (480/59i) or 1080/60i format, it is necessary to input the time information (TC SYNC value) that will
serve as the reference for conversion and the 3:2 pull-down sequence (sync phase) of the post-conversion
output images.

∑ Setting the TC SYNC value

Input the pre-conversion TC with the frame count of 24 (24TC) and the post-conversion TC with the frame

count of 30 (30TC)/25 (25TC) to serve as the reference for conversion.

ONoteN
When converting from 1080/25psf to 1080/23psf to 1080/59i (480/59i), or from 1080/25psf to 1080/24psf

Audio insert editing function with 23.98 Hz VTR system and 30 Hz
external operating environments

As shown in the above diagram of the system connections, this function enables audio insert editing on the

23.98P tape of the model HD3700B even in an environment with a 30 Hz external device, and by so doing, the
efficiency of the editing work is improved.
Refer to the information provided later for details on the VTR menu settings.

OEditing accuracyN

With the model HD3700B, the IN/OUT point accuracy falls into one of the following three patterns since the
signals are recorded with the video and input audio phases aligned (there is no misalignment between the
audio and video phases) on the tape. (Bear in mind that, as shown in patterns 2 and 3, the IN and/or OUT
points may shift.)

OPoints to noteN

The function will not work unless the following conditions are met.
(a) The system frequency of the VTR must be set to 23.98 Hz.
(b) The black burst reference signal must be connected.
(c) The settings below must be selected for the following items on the TC/CHR CONVERT menu:

RC_30SYS (F6) ON
RC_TC (F10) 30TC

(d) Use the AES input or analog input as the audio input signals, and make sure that embedded audio signals

are not selected.
(Otherwise, the signals may be edited with the audio and video phases misaligned.)

(e) The settings below must be selected for the following item on the INTERFACE SETUP menu:

VAR LIMT (F10) OFF

This function can be executed for audio insert editing only. Bear in mind that, in the status where the settings
above have been completed, the following editing modes are prohibited and cannot be set.

—Assemble editing mode
—Insert (video) editing mode
—Insert (CUE selection) editing mode
—Insert (TC selection) editing mode

Bear in mind that if, after the edit channel selection has been entered, one of the applicable prohibition condi­tions has been established from an external source (9-pin or 232C connector) or by loading a user file or by
other means, the EDIT preset command or insert operation (video, CUE or TC) will be masked and executed.

LTC output selection when playing back a 25P (23.98P/24P) tape
with a 23.98/24 (25) Hz VTR system added

Since, as shown in the figure above, the video and audio signals are synchronized in the system in which a
tape recorded with a system frequency of 25 Hz is played back on a VTR with a system frequency of 23.98 (or

24) Hz, this function enables 25 Hz TC information to be supplied to an external DAT device for synchronized
operation with the VTR.

When a 1080/25P recorded tape is to be played back in this way on a VTR with a system frequency of 23.98
(or 24) Hz, the function makes it possible for the operator to select that the original 25-frame count TC record­ed on the tape be output from the LTC_OUT connector in addition to the 24-frame count TC.

Conversely, when a 1080/23.98P or 1080/24P recorded tape is to be played back on a VTR with a system fre­quency of 25 Hz, the function enables not only the 25-frame count TC but also the original 24-frame count TC
recorded on the tape to be output from the LTC_OUT connector.
[Bear in mind that, with the model AJ-HD3700H, audio signals will not be output properly when a 23.98P (or
24P) tape is played back on a VTR with a system frequency of 25 Hz.]

In short, the function expands the ability of systems to support the connection with and operation of external
devices, and it does this by making it possible for the original TC of pre-recorded tapes to be selected and out­put from the LTC_OUT connector even when the system frequency of the VTR is at variance from the fre­quency of the pre-recorded tapes in the manner explained above.

Refer to page 87 for the VTR menu setting items.
(Furthermore, the LTC waveforms which are output from the LTC_OUT connector using this function differ
from the waveforms defined in the specifications. This is because the tapes are played back at a different
speed from the speed at which they were recorded even when they are played back at the normal tape speed.)
