Compact body design
J series Compact Players are extremely compact. They
are just 307 x 100 x 397 mm (12 1/8 x 4 x 15 3/4 inches)
in size and weigh only 7 kg (15 lb 7 oz). Their compact
design allows them to fit on the desks of busy
producers, journalists and editors. They operate equally
well used horizontally or standing upright on either end
using the supplied vertical stand.

Replay of both Small and
Large cassettes
525/625 versatility
J series Compact Players are easily switched between
525/60 and 625/50 playback modes. This enables them
to work in international environments.
Despite their very compact body size, J series Compact
Players can play Large as well as Small size cassettes.
Betacam, Betacam SP, Betacam SX, MPEG IMX and
Digital Betacam tape playback capability
All J series Compact Players have the capability to play
back Betacam SX, Betacam SP and Betacam tape recordings.
The J-2 Compact Player has the added capability of
MPEG IMX tape playback. The J-3 Compact Player adds
the playback capability of both MPEG IMX and Digital
Betacam recordings. During cassette loading, each format is
automatically identified for playback, so no menu settings or
switching is necessary.
Source feeding to server/NLE by
simple remote control via RS-422A
Choice of analog component
output or SDI output
Equipped with the industry standard RS-422A Sony 9-pin
remote control interface, J series Compact Players can
be used not only for viewing and logging but also for
feeding source material to servers and nonlinear editors.
You have a choice of output board with a J series
Compact Player. Two types are available, the BKJ-1
Analog Component Output Board and the BKJ-2 SDI
Output Board. Both boards also have analog composite
video, S-video and analog audio outputs. This choice
of output board gives you either an analog component
output or an SDI output, plus the common outputs.
* J series Compact Players can not be used as editing players in
conventional linear editing applications.
An affordable tape logging system with JZ-1 software
The combined use of a J series player and JZ-1
Videocassette Logging Software creates an affordable tape
logging system available to all playback-compatible VTR
formats. This is achieved by connecting a J series player
to a PC* running JZ- 1 software via an RS-232C cable.
This software provides an easy-to-use GUI to create log
data of edit in/out points and to add simple comments
to each logged scene. In addition, a storyboard function
is available to assemble a sequence of logged scenes
into a simple EDL prior to data export. Log lists can be
exported in a variety of formats including the AVID
Log Exchange digitizing format for Avid Newscutter,
the Sony BVE-9100 format for linear/non-linear editing
systems, the XML format for Sony NewsBase™ server
systems, and the HTML format for web browsing.
*An appropriate video capture card must be installed in the PC.
Tele-File™ system
Shot Mark handling
Another important option to increase editing efficiency
is the Sony Tele-File system, a non-contact read/write
system for storing production-related data on an IC
memory embedded in a 1/2-inch cassette label.
Connecting a PC running JZ-1 Videocassette Logging
Software to a J series VTR allows information to
be read from and written to a Tele-File label (option:
MLB-1M-100) via GUI-based operations.
The J series VTRs can scan tapes with Shot Marks and
automatically detect their positions. After scanning, a
list of all marks can be displayed on a video monitor,
allowing easy cueing to any mark.
