J series C ompact 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  
C ompact Players can play Large as well as Small  
size cassettes.

All J series C ompact Players have the capability to  
play back Betacam SX, Betacam SP and Betacam  
tape recordings. The J-2 C ompact Player has the  
added capability of MPEG IMX tape playback.  
The J-3 C ompact Player adds the playback capability  
of both MPEG IMX and Digital Betacam recordings.  
During cassette loading, each format is automatically  
identied for playback, so no menu settings or  
switching is necessary. (During Betacam SP playback, the  
AFM audio tracks are not replayed, and video performance is equiv-  
alent to UVW Betacam quality).

Choice of a na log ue comp one nt  
outp ut or SDI outp ut  
Equipped with the industry standard RS-422A Sony 9-pin  
remote control interface, J series C ompact Players can  
be used not only for viewing and logging but also for  
feeding source material to servers and nonlinear editors.  
There is a choice of outputs with the J-Series C ompact  
Players - the J-1/A, J-2/A and J-3/A have an analogue  
component video output. The J-1/SDI, J-2/SDI and  
J-3/SDI have an SDI output. Both versions also have  
analogue composite video, S-video and analogue  
audio outputs. This choice of player provides either an  
analogue component video output or an SDI output,  
plus the common outputs.  
Note: J series C ompact Players can not be used as editing  
players in conventional linear editing applications, or  
for on-air playout of material.

An a fford a b le ta p e log g ing s ys te m with JZ-1 s oftwa re  
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.  
Note: An appropriate video capture card must be installed in the PC .  
Te le -File ™ s ys te m  
Shot Ma rk ha nd ling  
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.  
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.  
C onnecting 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.
