Introducing the Profile PRO Series
The Profile PRO Series Video Disk Recorders store broadcast-quality video and
CD-quality audio on computer disk drives rather than on video tape, allowing
almost instant access to any timecode location of your video and audio material.
Table 1 on page 20 compares the capabilities of the PRO II, which used motion
JPEG compression, and the PRO III, which uses MPEG compression.
A Profile PRO disk recorder is more than just a one-for-one replacement of a
VTR: it can have up to two record and two playback video channels. Clips are
available on all channels at once, so you can play a clip on more than one
channel at the same time, without making a copy of it. Since each channel is
independent of the others, each playback can start at a different time and at a
different place in the clip.
You can even start play a clip while it’s still being recorded. Just start capturing
the clip on one channel, wait about five seconds, and then play the clip back on
another channel. This kind of control makes the Profile system an ideal solution
if you want to go to air with a clip before you are finished recording it.
