Operational Features
Frame-Accurate Insert/Assemble Editing
The SRW-5000 recorder is capable of insert or assemble
editing with frame accuracy. Each channel of video and
audio is independently editable. Executing precise editing
on HDCAM-SR tapes in machine-to-machine or A/B roll
configurations is possible.
High-Speed Color Picture Search
Recognizable color pictures are provided in shuttle mode at
speeds up to 42 times normal playback for the HDCAM-SR
format, and at speeds up to 50 times normal playback for
HDCAM and Digital BETACAM formats.
Dynamic Tracking
TM
Playback
A Dynamic Tracking playback capability provides
high-quality pictures over the range of –1 to +2 times normal
playback speed during the playback of HDCAM-SR and
HDCAM tapes, and –1 to +3 for Digital BETACAM tapes.
Digital-Jog Sound
In Jog mode, all 12 channels of digital audio can be
reproduced with a responsiveness and sound quality
reminiscent of analog audio. This feature is essential to
quickly and precisely establish an editing point while
monitoring the digital audio signals, which remain
synchronized with the pictures.
Dynamic Motion Control (DMC) Playback
The SRW-5000 also provides a DMC playback capability,
memorizing the tape-speed trajectory over the dynamic
tracking-speed range (-1 to +2 times normal speed).
Pre-Read Editing
The SRW-5000 is equipped with advanced playback heads
that allow pre-read editing, making functions such as titling
with a single VTR and A/B-roll editing with two VTRs
possible.
Confidence Playback
Separate dedicated playback heads immediately follow the
recording heads so that actual audio and video recorded to
the tape can be monitored while recording. Confidence
playback can be used to verify the quality of a recording
without interrupting production. This feature can also be
used while pre-read editing to verify that the edit has been
properly performed to tape.
