DVCPRO50 Recorder with Outstanding Quality
DVCPRO50/DVCPRO Switchable Recording
The AJ-SDX900 can record in either the DVCPRO50 or DVCPRO format. In DVCPRO50 mode, you can record 33 minutes of highquality 4:2:2 pictures onto a compact 1/4-inch cassette tape. In DVCPRO mode, the recording time is doubled*. Emphasize either picture quality or recording time, depending on your needs. Giving you both quality and versatility, this single, all-purpose unit answers the call in applications from EFP to ENG.* When recording in DVCPRO50 mode on a DVCPRO cassette tape, the actual recording time will be half the time indicated on the cassette label.
Four-Channel Digital Audio
The AJ-SDX900 can record full 48-kHz/16-bit digital audio on all four channels*. You can freely select the audio source for each channel, choosing from mic, line, wireless receiver, and others.* DVCPRO mode has two-channel digital audio.
Interval REC
The interval REC function is ideal for time lapse recording, such as in environmental, scientific or industrial applications calling for observation or surveillance.
Time Code Recording
The built-in SMPTE time code generator/reader lets you select FREE RUN/REC RUN, or user bits. User Bits can be set for Real Time. Time code can also be superimposed onto the camera's video output during playback.Quick Response
The AJ-SDX900 enters standby mode about three seconds after you switch on the power, and recording begins about 0.5* sec after you press the REC button. The tape loads and unloads quickly, for fast changes.* About 2 sec when the unit is in power save mode.
Low Power Consumption and Power Save Mode
The AJ-SDX900 consumes only 24 W when recording. An Anton/Bauer battery (Hytron50) provides about 120 minutes of continuous recording or playback. A power save mode with a tape protection function extends operating time even further.Optional Prerecording Function
Mount the optional AJ-YA903G prerecording board, and the AJ-SDX900 is ready to catch sudden, spontaneous scenes you might otherwise miss. When the camera is in standby mode, the prerecording function continually stores in memory up to 15 seconds (presettable) of the most recent video and audio material entering the camera. When you press the REC button, that material is recorded onto the tape before real-time recording begins.
