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,

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
onscreen menu/time code generator.

Backup battery warning lamp
This lamp lights when a cassette tape is inserted into
the VTR.
This lamp displays the voltage condition of the backup
battery for 5 seconds after turning on the power.
In the standby OFF mode, this lamp is flashing.
Steady light
:
The voltage is the specified voltage or
more
Counter display
The tape counter, time code, etc. are displayed here.
The type of value displayed is indicated by CTL, TC, UB
or REM.
Flashing : The backup battery is not installed
properly or the voltage of the backup
battery is less than the specified voltage.
This unit is equipped with a backup mechanism to count
down the time code generator while the power of the
unit is turned off. For details, refer to “Time code when
power is not supplied” (page 56).
The battery must be replaced periodically, since this unit
cannot count down and the numerical value of the time
code generator is reset if the backup battery voltage
drops below the specified value. However, it is not
necessary to replace the battery when it is not
necessary to drive the backup feature.
CTL: This area indicates the tape timer (control signal).
TC: This area indicates time code data.

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.
1 Select “SLTC” in menu No. 032 REC REF.
Detect the frame information from the superimposed
time code in the HD SDI signal to prevent displacement
of the field.

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.
