Introduction
The AJ-SD930 and AJ-SD955A are multi-purpose studio digital VTRs which utilize small, 1/4-inch wide cassette tapes for high quality recording, playback and editing of video images recorded at a rate of 50 Mbps in addition to recording, playback and editing in DVCPRO (25 Mbps) format.
These VTRs incorporate digital compression technology to dramatically reduce deterioration of picture quality and sound resulting from dubbing, thereby attaining high picture quality.
These units also come equipped with a variety of functions, such as assemble and insert functions, which are necessary when performing editing operations with a VTR.
(Editing operations cannot be performed with the AJSD930 alone; however, these operations are possible if an external controller is connected to the unit.)
These operating instructions include descriptions for both the AJ-SD955A and AJ-SD930. Descriptions which concern only the AJ-SD955A are marked with SD955A .

Tapes
Consumer-use DV and DVCAM cassettes
(Standard DV and DVCAM cassettes, mini DV and DVCAM cassettes)
OUse a cassette adapter (AJ-CS455P) when a mini DV or DVCAM cassette is to be used.
Note that inserting a mini DV or DVCAM cassette without the use of a cassette adapter will cause malfunctioning.
Also note that long-duration mini DV cassettes (80 minutes in the standard mode and 120 minutes in the LP mode) cannot be used.
OIt is not possible to play back tapes which have been recorded in the LP mode.
OWhen editing material recorded on a consumer-use DV or DVCAM cassette, first record the material on a DVCPRO tape or other tape used by VTRs for broadcast applications.
OThe maximum transport speed of a mini DV or DVCAM cassette tape is 32a.
OThe images may be subject to disturbance during the slow motion playback of consumer-use DV and DVCAM cassette tapes.
OFrom the perspective of protecting consumer-use DV and DVCAM cassette tapes, minimize the number of times the tapes are cued up at the same locations as much as possible.
OWhen consumer-use DV and DVCAM cassette tapes are used, the maximum time for STILL TIMER is set to 10 seconds.
It is recommended that tapes bearing the Panasonic brand be used as the consumer-use DV tapes.
M cassettes
Tapes capable of up to 33 minutes of recording or playback
(AJ-5P23MP, AJ-5P33MP)
L cassettes
Tapes capable of up to 92 minutes of recording or playback
(AJ-5P63LP, AJ-5P92LP)
OUse AJ-5P92LP tapes which have been recorded using the DVCPRO (25M) format in a VTR that supports 184 minutes of DVCPRO (25M) format recording and playback.

Automatic editing (deck-to-deck) SD955A
Executing and reviewing automatic editing
1 Press the AUTO EDIT button. Automatic editing is now executed.
OTo suspend editing at any time, press the STOP button.
OWhen the edit OUT point is reached, the tape is post-rolled, after which it stops.
Post-rolling
With assemble editing, editing continues for about 2 seconds after the edit OUT point is passed, the tape is then returned to the OUT point, after which it stops.
With insert editing, the PLAY mode is established after the edit OUT point has been passed, the tape is then returned to the OUT point, after which it stops.
The post-roll time can be set using setup menu No. 325 (POSTROLL TM).
Retry function
Even when the STOP button has been pressed to suspend editing, editing can be repeated from the beginning simply by pressing the AUTO EDIT button again.
Auto tag function (recorder side)
If, upon completion of editing, the next edit point has not yet been registered, the previous edit OUT point is registered as the IN point and editing is executed when the AUTO EDIT button is pressed.
To release the auto tag mode, press one of the transport system buttons (such as the PLAY button).
Registering an OUT point while editing is in progress
If the SET button is pressed while the OUT button is being held down when automatic editing is in progress, the position corresponding to when the button was pressed is registered as the OUT point and the editing operation is exited.
Even if the AUTO EDIT button is pressed, the OUT point is registered and editing is exited in the same way.
<Note>
The registered points are automatically cleared after editing has been executed. However, the previous edit points can be recalled by pressing the TRIM+ (or TRIM–) button and SET button at the same time.
2 Upon completion of the editing, press the REVIEW button.
Review is then started by the recorder side.
OTo stop the review at any time, press the STOP button.
OWhen the edit OUT point is reached, the tape is post-rolled, after which it stops.
