Features
Compact size and light weight
This editor is an integrated editing system which delivers two DVCPRO 50 digital VTRs, an editing controller, two LCD monitors and speakers in a single unit. It features a compact, lightweight and portable design which enables it to be easily carried around and readily utilized for editing work on an office desk, etc.
Cut editing
This unit is capable of both assemble editing and insert editing. With insert editing, the signals of each of 4 audio channels can be edited separately. In the DVCPRO format (25 Mbps), only two audio channels are supported.
Full range of editing functions
The editing control area is equipped with a numeric keypad to enable more sophisticated editing operations. The keys also make it easier to process the edit data. Included among the unit’s many editing functions are split editing, still-picture/slow-motion editing and multi­event editing.
High picture quality
A high picture quality is achieved through 4:2:2 component signal recording (DVCPRO 50) which has twice the recording rate of the existing DVCPRO (25 Mbps) format.
Both DVCPRO formats supported
The unit is capable of recording and playing tapes in the existing DVCPRO (25 Mbps) format as well.
525i/625i systems switchable
Either the 525i (interlace) system or 625i system can be used by making this selection on a setup menu.
O
The analog component and analog composite input facilities are used exclusively by the 525i system. They do not have a system conversion function.
O
625i system editing is restricted to editing involving the VTR1 5VTR2 internal connections.
L and M size cassettes supported, recording up to 92 minutes
The L cassette delivers a maximum of 92 minutes of recording (using the AJ-5P92LP). Up to 184 minutes of recording are possible with the DVCPRO (25 Mbps) format (using the AJ-P184LP).
SDI interface
This unit is equipped with a 4:2:2 serial digital interface as a standard feature.
Functional input/output interfaces
O
Analog input and output facilities: Both VTRs come with video (composite/component) and audio input and output connectors. Analog video signals cannot be input in the 625i mode.
O
9P remote connector: (525i mode only) Both VTRs come with 9P remote connectors to enable an external controller to operate the unit by remote control. The 9P remote connector of VTR1 can be switched to remote OUT, and an external VTR can be controlled using the control system of VTR1.
O
Time code input and output facilities: The unit comes with one time code input connector so that the time code generators of both VTR1 and VTR2 can be synchronized to an external time code. VTR1 and VTR2 each have a time code output connector.
7-inch wide-screen LCD monitors
On-screen settings
Highly individualized settings can be performed on­screen.
Centralized displays using fluorescent display tubes
Fluorescent display tubes, which are easy to read even in poorly lighted places, are used to indicate the counter displays, audio meter levels, VTR modes and other statuses. This means that all the displays are grouped together in a central location.

Pressing the METER button sets the audio level meter to the fine mode. Using the 4mark as the reference level (–20 dB for 525i mode; –18 dB for 625i mode), the scale increments are set at 1 dB intervals. Audio signals at the reference level can be input from an external source and their recording level adjusted. When a blank tape or the unrecorded part of a tape is played, fast forwarded or rewound, the audio level meter is set to the tape position display mode, and the present tape travel position is indicated as a percentage.
Display example:
The tape is now running through a position which is equivalent to 36% along the tape from its start.
Scale increments in 10’s indicating the first digit of the percentage figure: 3
Scale increments in 1’s indicating the second digit of the percentage figure: 6

SDI input connector
This is the input connector for the component serial digital signals. SDI signals can be supplied to VTR2 and recorded by setting the V2 VIDEO input selector switch (see page 13) and V2 AUDIO input selector switch (see page 15).
<Note>
These signals cannot be supplied to VTR1.
O
SDI ACTIVE THRU output connector
The signals supplied to the SDI input connector are output straight through the unit via the output buffer.
O
SDI output connector
This is the output connector for the component serial digital signals. The signals of the VTR selected by setup menu item No.174 (SDI OUT) are output. “SDI” lights on the fluorescent display tube of the selected VTR. (See page 9)
<Note>
Do not connect either of the SDI output connectors to the SDI input connector. If this caution is ignored, the unit will not operate properly even if VTR1 has been selected as the setup menu item No.174 (SDI OUT) setting.

AUDIO MONITOR OUT connectors (XLR)
These are the audio monitor output connectors. Their output signals can be changed by setting the AUDIO MONITOR SELECT switches.
$
Concerning the audio output selected for the audio monitor connectors, internal speakers and headphones jack (front panel)
Which channels of which VTR, either VTR1 or VTR2, are to be selected for the audio signals which are to be output to the audio monitor connectors, internal speakers and headphones jack can be changed by setting the AUDIO MONITOR SELECT switches on the keyboard to support many audio monitoring options.
<Notes>
O
The same signals from the same channels of the same VTR are output to audio monitor connector L, the internal speaker on the left side and headphones L. Similarly, the same signals from the same channels of the same VTR are output to audio monitor connector R, the internal speaker on the right side and headphones R. Different signals cannot be set for the connector, speaker and headphones.
O
When the headphones are plugged into the headphones jack on the front panel, the sound from the internal speakers is automatically cut off.
O
The level control (by the side of the liquid crystal monitor) on the front panel is used to adjust the sound through the internal speakers and headphones. This control cannot be used to adjust the level of audio signals which are output to the audio monitor connectors.
Setting method
Setting is possible when “V1+V2” has been selected as the setup menu item No.772 (AUTO MONI) setting.
1. To output the VTR1 sound to the L connector and the VTR2 sound to the R connector
O
Set the V1/V1•2/V2 switch to “V1•2”.
O
Use the L (V1) switch to select the VTR1 audio channel whose sound is to be output to the L connector.
O
Use the R (V2) switch to select the VTR2 audio channel whose sound is to be output to the R connector.
<Note>
Audio mixing is possible for channels 1 and 2 or for channels 3 or 4. No other combination of channels can be mixed.
2. To output the VTR1 sound to both the L and R connectors
O
Set the V1/V1•2/V2 switch to “V1”.
O
Use the L (V1) switch to select the VTR1 audio channel whose sound is to be output to the L connector.
O
Use the R (V2) switch to select the VTR1 audio channel whose sound is to be output to the R connector.
<Note>
In this mode, stereo sound consisting of VTR1 channels 1 and 2 can be produced by selecting “1” using the L (V1) switch and “2” using the R (V2) switch.
3. To output the VTR2 sound to both the L and R connectors
O
Set the V1/V1•2/V2 switch to “V2”.
O
Use the L (V1) switch to select the VTR2 audio channel whose sound is to be output to the L connector.
O
Use the R (V2) switch to select the VTR2 audio channel whose sound is to be output to the R connector.
<Note>
In this mode, stereo sound consisting of VTR2 channels 1 and 2 can be produced by selecting “1” using the L (V1) switch and “2” using the R (V2) switch.
