AJ-HD1700  

Full-Featured Studio VTR

The AJ-HD1700 is a DVCPRO HD high-end studio master VTR that answers

today’s most advanced needs in high-definition production and

broadcasting. 

Featuring the new DVCPRO HD-LP format, the AJ-HD1700 records and

plays up to 126 minutes with an XL cassette. It can record three types of

HD images — 1080/60i, 720/60p, and 1080/50i — and is equipped with

eight digital audio channels for 5.1-channel surround sound.  

The AJ-HD1700 plays all DVCPRO HD, DVCPRO50, DVCPRO P, DVCPRO,

DV, and DVCAM tapes. It has an advanced HD-SD conversion function that

provides simultaneous output of HD/SD signals from a wide variety of

sources. 

The AJ-HD1700 can even output a 1080/24p signal from a 720/24p over 60

VARICAM source tape for convenient editing in 1080/24p such as mastering

to D-5 HD on the AJ-HD3700B VTR. 

The AJ-HD1700 can also output a 1080/25p and 576/50i signal from a

720/50p over 60 VARICAM source tape for PAL editing.

The compact, AC/DC-powered AJ-HD1200A is ready for a host of active

uses. This versatile HD VTR plays all DVCPRO formats (both NTSC and

PAL), including DVCPRO HD-LP, and can down-convert HD signals for

output as SD signals, allowing its use as both an HD and SD viewer. With

its 1080/24p (25p) conversion and output function for Varicam sources, the

AJ-HD1200A also meets needs in HD cinema production.

Mount an optional board, and the AJ-HD1200A can serve as a recorder in a

space-saving, low-cost HD production system. Choose either an SDI type

optional board (HD-SDI in/out, SDI out) or an IEEE 1394 type board. With

the IEEE 1394 board, the AJ-HD1200A HD becomes the world's first VTR to

offer HD input and output via an IEEE 1394 digital interface. This allows the

AJ-HD1200A to connect to next generation NLE (Non-Linear Editing)

systems, or IEEE 1394 equipped Video Servers.

AJ-HD3700B

Multi-Format/Multi-Standard Mastering  VTR

The AJ-HD3700B VTR meets all high quality HD and SD production

requirements in one VTR. HD studio quality is assured by full band width

(1920 x 1080) in 1080i, and 4:2:2 digital 10-bit component recording, plus

1080/24p, 1080/25p, as well as standard definition non-compressed 480i.

Metadata recording and playback is built in without sacrificing audio

channels and conversion between formats is as simple as an optional

converter card set. With an easy-to-use front panel operation and full

editing capability, the AJ-HD3700B is designed for integration into today's

modern post and production facilities. 

The AJ-HD3700B provides the flexibility of having a single machine function

in both HD and SD, plus the popular 1080/24p and 1080/24psF. With the

optional built-in format converter card, SD to HD and HD to SD conversions

are handled internally - without the need for outboard gear.
