Note concerning tapes played back by this VTR
• Use tapes which have been shot by a variable frame rate
camera.
• Do not use tapes which are copies of shot tapes or edited tapes.
Doing so will cause the tape management information to be lost,
and normal conversion and playback may not be possible as a
result.
• To convert a tape, which was recorded at a frame rate other than
24fps (25fps), to 1080/24psf (1080/25psf), use a frame rate
converter (AJ-FRC27) which is available as an optional
accessory.
Connections
When this VTR plays back a tape which was recorded at a frame rate of 24
fps (25 fps) using a variable frame rate camera, the signals on the tape can
be output after converting them to 1080/24psf (1080/25psf) to enable direct
editing together with the AJ-HD3700 series.
Shown in the figure below is an example of the deck-to-deck connections.
Input the 48 Hz (or 50 Hz) reference signal to the HD REF input connector
as the REF input.
When this VTR plays back a tape which was recorded at a frame rate of 25
fps using a variable frame rate camera, the signals on the tape can be
output after converting them to 576/50i to enable direct editing together
with the SD VTRs.
Shown in the figure below is an example of the deck-to-deck connections.
Input the 50 Hz reference signal to the SD REF input connector as the REF
input.
Example of system connections in
23/24 Hz or 25 Hz (HD) mode
Example of system connections in
25 Hz (SD) mode
<Notes>
•
When the tape begins to travel at 1
k
speed, the video may be
disturbed and the audio muted for several frames in order to
synchronize the REF input with the tape.
•
VITC signals are not output to the SD SDI and VIDEO OUT
connectors in the 23/24 Hz mode.
•
In the 25 (HD) Hz mode, the output video signals of the SD SDI
and VIDEO OUT connectors are delayed by approximately 1 field
in relation to the HD SDI output.
•
HD SDI output is muted in the 25 (SD) Hz mode.
