Pre-Read in 480/59.94i or 576/50i Modes
The AJ-HD3700B provides pre-read editing in 480/59.94i or
576/50i SDTV modes. This lets you add effects to the video and
audio, and re-record the results on the same VTR.
Ancillary Recording
The AJ-HD3700B can record and read ancillary data such as
Metadata or Closed Caption Data.
Simultaneous Playback Monitoring
Simultaneous playback monitoring of video, digital audio, time
code and CTL signals is possible.
Channel Condition Monitor
The error rate is monitored at all times. When the setting is
exceeded, an indicator on the front panel lights to warn you of a
damaged tape or head clogging.
Built-in Test Signal Generator
Color bar signals and other test signals, which come in handy
for conducting maintenance and adjustments and for checking
connections, are generated internally.
Time Code Conversion Functions
for 24p Audio Mastering
AJ-HD3700B responds to movie industry needs with a 24-
Hz/30-Hz time code conversion function that allows editing of
30-fps audio sources for 24p film use, and a 25-Hz time code
output function that allows DAT synchronizing during 24p
playback of 25-fps sources. This eliminates the need for a
separate 24p audio mastering process, bringing greater speed
and ease to filmmaking.
