To reduce the size and cost of HDCAM
viewing
This machine is the first in a line-up to improve the availability of
HDCAM anywhere its needed, on the set, in an office, in your hotel –
anywhere!
This is achieved by a unique combination of small size (same as J series)
combined with many connection possibilities to viewing devices, whatever
may be to hand, from HD monitors to laptops.
A downconverter is included as standard, and it can handle both large and
small HDCAM cassettes at 25PsF or 29.97PsF. 24PsF recorded tapes can be
played back at 25P with time code conversion.
Simple interfaces
The J-H1 has an analogue component HD output as well as a composite
downconverted output as standard.
i.Link interface
(Requires optional HKJ-101 i.Link interface board). DV based off-line
editing has become an industry norm. In order to bridge the gap between
HDCAM tapes and DV, the J-H1 can be equipped with an i.Link connector by
installing the HKJ-101 i.Link interface board.
DV video (525/625 depending on SDTV output), audio (2ch or 4ch), timecode,
and machine control can be communicated between the J-H1 and a non-linear
editor via a single IEEE1394 connection.
Note that machine control is effective for material capturing purposes
only, and frame accurate editing is not supported. Tape-to-tape editing
between an external VTR is not supported. Crash-recording via i.Link is
possible.
Standard computer monitor interface
The J-H1 has an XGA computer output (regular mini 15 pin D-type), so you
can display RGB pictures at 1024 x 577 pixels (that is, letterboxed from
the native 1024 x 768) on virtually any computer screen or projector.
Timecode and safe area markers can be superimposed.
System frequency
The J-H1 supports both 25P (50i) and 29.97P (59.94i) frequencies. Original
24P tapes can be played back at 25P with time code conversion and sound (pitch
is 4% higher). Both the original 24P and the converted 25P timecode can be
superimposed on the outputs.
