ESCRIPTION
ViVid is a general purpose video and audio recorder that can be used in a number of
professional applications where reliable and fast access to non-linear video and audio is
required. Its main purpose is to act as a video-follow device during editing sessions with
MFX3
plus
and other Fairlight Products.
The disk recorder takes PAL or NTSC composite analogue video, audio and LTC timecode
signals and digitises them in real time onto a high speed magnetic disk drive. The file can then
be played with all signals being output in sync with each other, using the front panel or Sony
9-pin remote control.
For a more detailed explanation of the ViVid, please refer to the
ViVid
User Manual.
