Panasonic AJ- HD3700B - Manual (Page 4)

Equipped with an HD-SD Converter
The AJ-HD3700B also comes equipped with an HD-SD format
converter board that lets you play HD and SD tapes and convert
the output to the desired format. You can convert in either
direction between HD and SD, or convert from 24p to HD. You
can also perform the following conversions or adjustments.
Aspect ratio conversion: Convert to the aspect ratio that best
suits the application.
• When up-converting from original SD images to HD, you can
select Side Panel, Stretch, or Top/Bottom Crop.
• When down-converting from HD images to SD, you can select
Letter Box, Semi Letter Box 14:9, Semi Letter Box 13:9, Side
Crop, or Squeeze.
Image adjustment: A colorimetry conversion function corrects
color gamma differences resulting from HD/SD conversion.
Gain, set-up, and edge emphasis can also be adjusted, and the
image can be output as it is being adjusted.
Variety of Remote Terminals
The AJ-HD3700B comes standard with 9-pin serial (RS-422A),
50-pin parallel, and 25-pin RS-232C remote interfaces. 15-pin
video/audio control and 20-pin control panel terminals are also
provided.
Equipped with HD-SDI/SD-SDI
The AJ-HD3700B features HD-SDI (SMPTE291M/292M) in/out
and SD-SDI (SMPTE259M/272M) in/out. The D-5 format's
superior recording specifications assure the highest dubbing
and editing quality when using HD-SDI. HDTV and SDTV
signals can be output in parallel using the standard equipped
format converter. While an HD source is being transmitted, the
signal can be simultaneously down-converted to SDTV and
transmitted — giving you an easy way to utilize the same
content in multiple formats.
Compact Size, Easy Installation
Mounting the HD-SD format converter inside the 5U-size
AJ-HD3700B, you get single-unit operation with space-saving
size. The AJ-HD3700B fits in a 19-inch rack for easy installation
in OB vans. Power consumption is only 260 W, so operating
costs are low.
Slow, Search and Edit Functions
Auto Tracking (AT) allows noiseless playback from normal-
speed reverse to 2 times forward speed. Shuttle search runs at
50 times normal speed in both forward and reverse. Editing
functions include assemble and insert edit, audio split, and
variable memory. Its 0-frame editing accuracy is assured when
using the SMPTE/EBU time code.
