Introduction  
This unit is a multi-format VTR capable of recording and  
playing back HD signals (1080i/59.94 Hz, 1080i/50 Hz,  
720P/59.94 Hz, 720P/50 Hz) in DVCPRO HD-LP format  
using a small cassette tape 1/4 inch wide, HD (DVCPRO  
HD/DVCPRO HD-LP*) and SD (DVCPRO50/DVCPRO)  
recorded in DVCPRO format as well as conventional  
consumer DV/DVCAM tapes.  
A down-converter as a standard feature verifies all tapes  
using analog composite signals and SD SDI output.  
Similarly, each of the following output signals can be  
obtained.  
z 720/25p over 60p sources can be converted to 1080/25  
PsF or 576i format output signals.  
z 720/50p over 60p sources can be converted to 720/50p,  
1080/50i or 576i format output signals.  
The compact size and light weight of the unit enable it to be  
carried around and mounted in a standard rack with ease.  
You can perform the unit’s settings interactively with the on-  
screen menus displayed on the TV monitor.  
* DVCPRO HD-LP has the same format as the DVCPRO HD EX  
described in the operation manual of our camera recorder.  
Features  
Compact size and light weight  
Frame rate conversion  
The unit has a width of 214 mm (8-7/16 inches), a height  
of 132 mm (5-1/4 inches), and a depth of 442 mm (17-3/  
8 inches) (Protruding portion is not included), and  
weighs only 8.5 kg (18.74 lb).  
When playing back a tape recorded at a frame rate of 24  
fps using a variable frame rate camera, the tape’s  
signals can be converted to the 1080/24 PsF format and  
output by selecting a menu item setting.  
Grips are also attached for easy carry.  
When playing back a tape recorded at a frame rate of 25  
fps, the tape’s signals can be converted to the 1080/25  
PsF or 576i format and output. When playing back a  
tape recorded at a frame rate of 50 fps, the tape signals  
can be converted to the 1080/50i or 576i format and  
output.  
Efficient installation in a rack  
The unit’s width is one-half of 19 inches and its height is  
3U: this translates into greater saving of installation  
space in a standard rack compared to conventional  
models.  
<Notes>  
z Use tapes that are shot with a variable frame rate  
camera.  
z Do not use dubbed or edited tapes. The tape control  
information may be lost, making it impossible to  
convert the signals for playback.  
DVCPRO HD cassette tapes used  
The unit uses 1/4-inch wide cassette tapes.  
<Note>  
When recording HD signals, use DVCPRO HD  
cassettes.  
DVCPRO-compatible playback  
In addition to DVCPRO HD-LP playback, the unit can  
play back tapes recorded using the existing DVCPRO  
HD, DVCPRO50 and DVCPRO formats.  
It can also play back consumer DV tapes (SP) and  
DVCAM tapes.  
High image quality  
The unit achieves a high image quality by recording  
4:2:2 HD component signals with a recording rate (=100  
Mbps) which is four times as high as that for existing  
DVCPRO formats.  
SD down-converter  
1080i or 720p, NTSC or PAL selectable  
By switching the settings provided for the video signal  
input (1080i/59.94 Hz or 720p/59.94 Hz) on the setup  
menu, the unit can record and playback each signal and  
also playback NTSC SD material.  
The unit comes with a built-in SD down-converter as a  
standard feature to enable the output of SD SDI signals  
and analog composite signals at the same time as HD  
SDI output signals and for monitoring the signals on an  
SD monitor.  
The unit also supports the PAL mode. Playback of  
1080i/50 Hz, record and playback of 720P/50 Hz or  
playback of PAL SD materials is enabled by switching  
the setting on the system menu.  
Up-convert function  
When an SD format tape is played back, it is possible to  
output the signals in the HD SDI output and HD analog  
component signals while at the same time outputting  
them in SD format, since this unit includes the HD  
converter as a standard feature.

Features (continued)  
Cross-convert function  
PF (Programmable Function) button  
The unit comes with a built-in cross-converter to enable  
1080i/59.94 Hz format signals to be converted into  
720p/59.94 Hz format signals or, conversely, to enable  
720p/59.94 Hz format signals to be converted into  
1080i/59.94 Hz format signals.  
The unit is equipped with three PF buttons. Selecting  
the three most frequently used setup menus, the menu  
settings can be changed with the buttons on the front  
panel.  
Cross-convert with 1080i/50 Hz and 720p/50 Hz is also  
possible.  
UMID information recording and playback  
This unit supports the recording/playback of UMID  
(Unique Material Identifier) information in the SMPTE  
330M standard. UMID information can be confirmed  
with the diagnostic menu.  
HD analog component output  
This feature enables HD signals to be monitored with  
ease.  
VTRs that do not support the recording/playback of  
UMID information will not playback UMID information  
correctly. In addition, when VTRs that do not support  
recording/playback of UMID information are connected  
to this unit, UMID information will not be recorded  
correctly.  
Gamma correction of cinema for film  
This feature corrects the image from a variable frame  
rate camera in cinema gamma mode for film to an image  
with film quality.  
AC/DC operation  
The unit supports AC supply voltages ranging from  
100V to 240V and DC12V power supply as well.  
VANC data recording/playback  
VANC data packets that added to the Y stream of HD  
SDI can be recorded with the video signal. In addition,  
VANC data packets can be played back with the Y  
stream of HD SDI. This unit is capable of input and  
output through the IEEE1394 standard interface.  
Editing function  
Using the 9-pin serial remote (RS-422A), assembly or  
insertion is allowed.  
(Only with 1080i/59.94 Hz, 720P/59.94 Hz, 1080i/50 Hz,  
and 720P/50 Hz)

activates the auto back function, enabling the next  
image to follow on from the last image with no  
disruptions in the continuity.  
On-screen menu settings  
Highly detailed and individualized function settings can  
be performed on-screen.  
Time code  
The unit is equipped with a built-in time code generator/  
time code reader (TCG/TCR). Since time code signals  
can also be input from an external device, regeneration  
to an external time code is possible.  
Since the backup function using a backup battery is  
incorporated in the TCG (time code generator), time  
codes during free-run operations are retained even if the  
power of the unit is turned off.  
Joystick and variable speed playback  
The unit is equipped with a joystick (stick controller) for  
use of the search function during variable speed  
playback.  
In addition, the joystick allows convenient setting of the

DC IN  
AC IN inlet  
This is the AC power inlet.  
Connect the accessory power cable here.  
When both an AC power supply and DC power supply  
have been connected, the AC power supply takes  
priority.  
If an external DC power supply is used, then check the  
ratings of the external DC power supply so that they are  
compatible with those of this unit. Check the pin  
arrangements of the DC output terminal of the external DC  
power supply and those of the DC IN socket of this unit so  
that their polarities are correctly arranged.  
If +12 V are supplied to the unit’s GND terminal by  
mistake, this may cause fire or injury.  
If the polarities of the DC IN connectors of other devices  
are incorrect, and the other devices are connected to the  
unit by mistake, fire or personal injury may result.  
DC IN socket  
This is the input connector for the DC 12V supply  
voltage.  
Use an external DC power supply rated at DC 12 V/7 A  
(12 A peak or higher)  
<Notes>  
When the voltage has dropped to around 10.6V, the  
unit’s power is automatically turned off. (When “TYPE-A”  
or “TYPE-B” is not selected as the menu item No.180  
BATTERY SEL setting)  
Even when the supply voltage is restored later, the  
power will not automatically come back on. The POWER  
switch must be set to OFF and then back to ON several  
seconds later.  
z If an external DC power supply is used, then make  
sure that the external DC power supply is first turned  
ON, then this unit is turned ON. Improper operation  
may result in a malfunction in the unit due to slow  
startup of the output voltage of the external DC power  
supply.  
z If input exceeds 18 V by mistake, the protection  
feature shuts down the power source at around 20 to  
35 V. Change the voltage to the regular voltage, and  
the unit is available. An AC source cannot be

Recording from a variable frame rate camera  
Recording the HD SDI output signal from  
a variable frame rate camera  
Connect the HD SDI (720/30Pover 59.94P) output of the  
variable frame rate camera to the HD SDI input connector of  
this unit.  
Field displacement  
There is no discriminant information to differentiate between  
the first field and the second field in the HD SDI signal of  
720P. Accordingly, it is usually necessary to synchronize the  
HD SDI signal transmission equipment to the recording  
equipment with the reference signal from SD. If not  
synchronized, there is a risk of generating displacement  
(image frame fails to match the time code) with 1/2  
probability described as follows.

Video head cleaning  
For further details on how to actually clean the heads,  
consult with your dealer.  
This unit is equipped with an auto head cleaning function  
which automatically reduces the amount of dirt on the video  
heads. However, in order to maximize the unit’s reliability, it  
is recommended that the video heads be cleaned as and  
when appropriate.  
Condensation  
Condensation occurs due to the same principle involved  
when droplets of water form on a window pane of a heated  
room. It occurs when the unit or tape is moved between  
places where the temperature or humidity varies greatly or  
when, for instance:  
When moving the unit to locations such as these, leave it  
standing for about 10 minutes rather than switching on the  
power immediately. If condensation occurs in the unit, “E-  
20” will flash on the counter display and the cassette will be  
automatically ejected.  
z It is moved to a very humid place full of steam or a room  
immediately after it has been heated up.  
Leave the unit with the power on until “E-20” is cleared from  
the display.  
z It is suddenly moved from a cold location to a hot or humid  
location.  
Maintenance  
Before starting any maintenance work, switch the power to  
OFF and, holding the plug, unplug the cord from the socket.  
Use a soft cloth to clean the outside of the unit.  
For stubborn dirt or stains, wipe the unit with a cloth that has  
been lightly dampened with well-diluted kitchen detergent  
and wrung out thoroughly.  
<Note>  
Do not use alcohol, benzene, thinners or any other solvents  
as they may affect the color of external parts or damage the  
unit’s coating.  
After wiping off the dirt with the damp cloth, finish it off with a  
dry cloth.

Emergency eject  
Procedure to ejecting the tape manually in an emergency  
If the cassette tape fails to be ejected even when the EJECT button is pressed, it can be ejected as follows.  
z Follow the steps below after making absolutely sure that the unit’s power has been turned off.  
1 Remove the top panel.  
3 Check that the posts have unloaded the tape and that the  
tape is completely housed inside the cassette.  
2 Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to push in the red plastic  
gear (A) and turn it counterclockwise while keeping it  
pushed in. The mechanism that winds up the tape is  
activated by this, and it makes a latching sound. Ignore  
the sound, and turn the gear through about 10  
revolutions.  
4 Once the tape has been completely returned inside the  
cassette case, use the Phillips-head screwdriver to push  
in the red plastic gear (B) in front of the front loading  
motor’s worm gear and, while keeping it pushed in, turn it  
clockwise to eject the cassette.  
<Note>  
<Note>  
Turning the gear more than necessary will strain the  
cassette, possibly resulting in tape damage.  
When closing the cassette cover, take care not to catch  
the tape.
