SONY PVW-2800 Betacam SP Editing Recorder/Player   PRODUCT DETAILS Its compatibility with BVW series Betacam SP products and peripherals make it an easy way to upgrade current systems. It features built-in TBC built-in TC generator/reader full editing control facility 90 min record/playback 24 times picture search RS-422 remote interface Y/C input/output and component video (Y R-Y B-Y) inputs/outputs. It records on metal particle tape and will playback any Betacam or Betacam SP recorded tape. PRODUCT FEATURES Built-in Time Base CorrectorTBC Remote ControlBuilt-in Time Code Generator/ReaderHigh Speed Picture SearchCharacter DisplayVersatile System InterfaceUser Friendly Dial Menu OperationImproved ServiceabilityDetachable Control Panel19-inch EIA Standard Rack MountablePicture search can be made at various speeds over a range of up to 24 times normal speed in forward and reverse by using the search dial mode incorporated on the unit. A recognizable color picture can be obtained at up to ten times (24 times in monochrome) normal speed in forward and reverse. In the jog mode tape movement accurately follows the rotation of the search dial in both directions.Provided for versatile editing system expansion and flexible system control.This format uses the component recording which the chrominance signals (R-Y B-Y)are time compressed and recorded on one track using CTDM (Compressed Time Division Multiplex) system originally developed by Sony while the luminance signal is recorded on a separate track.Thanks to the tape speed of the format and the adoption of the proven Dolby C-type NR the PVW-2800 offers high quality audio with a wide dynamic range even at high frequencies minimum distortion and excellent S/N ratio.Both L-size and S-size cassettes are accepted giving playback times of over 90 minutes and over 30 minutes respectively.A superior quality output video is obtained directly from the PVW-2650 with no additional time base correction required. Advanced high quality digital dropout compensation also ensures consistent picture performance.A built-in character generator is provided and characters can be superimposed on the signal from Video Output 3 or the Monitor Output. It displays either time code reader data or CTL timer data. VTR function status including shuttle tape speed can also be displayed by accessing the setup menu. Furthermore error number and status can be automatically displayed when the error is detected. Character display is On/Off switchable from the subcontrol panel. When the unit is operated under the setup menu mode the initial setup menu is automatically displayed from the character generator.In addition to the built-in TBC adjustment of the PVW-2800 remote adjustments may be performed using the optional BVR-50 connected via the D-sub 15-pin cable to the real panel connector (TBC REMOTE).The generation and reading of both VITC and LTC to the SMPTE format together with user bits come as standard. LTC can be automatically recorded on the dedicated time code track. Time code or user bits settings can be easily executed using the HOLD/SET button and the search dial located on the control panel. External/Internal time code REGEN/PRESET or REC-RUN/FREE-RUN selections are available on the subcontrol panel.Provides an initial setup menu which has easy accessibility and simple operation. This initial setup menu allows many operational parameters to be preset for operator convenience. The initial setup menu is scrolled and modified by the search dial while monitoring Video Output 3 Monitor out or the LED Time display. The modified menu is memorized in a non-volatile memory.For easy maintenance and servicing comprehensive self-diagnostics is provided. A digital hour meter is also fitted to indicate the accumulation times of power on drum rotation and tape running. It can also display the number of threading/unthreading operations.Can be tilted at up to 90 degrees. Alternatively the control panel can be removed from the machine to provide remote control from a distance of up to 5m by using the optional BKW-2010 Control Panel Extension Kit and BK-803 Control Panel Case.With the optional RMM-100 the PVW-2800 can be mounted into a 19-inch EIA standard rack without taking off the side panel.Operating temperature: 5°C to 40°C (41°F to 104°F)Humidity: Less than 80% relative humidityLuminance (50% modulation): MPT:30Hz to 4.5mhz(+0.5/-4.0)dBOT:30Hz to 4.0mhz(+0.5/-6.0)dBK-factor (2T pulse): MPT:Less than 2%OT:Less than 3%REF VIDEO IN (BNC): 1.0Vp-p 75ÓChrominance: MPT AM:More than 53dBMPT PM:More than 53dBOT AM:More than 50dB OT PM:More than 50dBTape speed: 11.86cm/sec.Tape media used: Metal Particle Tape (MPT)Oxide Tape (OT)Fast forward/rewind time: Less than 3 min. with BCT-90MLSearch speed: Shuttle:19 steps STILL to 24X normal Fwd & Rev.Jog:Frame by frame forward and reverseColor difference (50% modulation): MPT:30Hz to 1.5mhz(+0.5/-3.0)dBOT:30Hz to 1.5mhz(+0.5/-3.0)dBSignal to noise ratio (luminance component IN/OUT): MPT:More than 51dBOT:More than 48dBDifferential gain: MPT:Less than 3%OT:Less than 3%Differential phase: MPT:Less than 3°OT:Less than 3°Y/C delay: MPT:Less than 20nsec.OT:Less than 20nsec.Frequency response: MPT:50Hz to 15kHz (+1.5/-3.0)dBOT:50Hz to 15kHz (+3.0/-3.0)dBSignal to noise ratio (at 3% distortion level): MPT:More than 72dBOT:More than 50dB (Dolby NR off)Wow and flutter: MPT:Less than 0.1%rmsOT:Less than 0.1%rmsSIGNAL OUTPUTS:: VIDEO OUT 1 (BNC)Composite video 1.0Vp-p 75Ó sync negativeVIDEO OUT 2 (BNC)Composite video 1.0Vp-p 75Ó sync negativeVIDEO OUT 3 (BNC)Composite video 1.0Vp-p 75Ó sync negative w/wo character insertionAudio LINE OUT (XLR 3-pin male CH1/2): +4dBu 600Ó balancedAudio MONITOR OUT (XLR 3-pin male CH1/2): +4dBu 600Ó balancedU-matic DUB OUT (with an optional BKW-2020): Y: 1.7Vp-p 51ÓC: 0.9Vp-p 51ÓS-video OUT: Y: 1.0Vp-p 75ÓC: 0.286Vp-p (burst) 75ÓTime code out (BNC): 1.2Vp-p 75ÓOther I/O: REMOTE IN/OUT9-pin femaleTBC REMOTE15-pin maleMONITOR8-pin femaleHEADPHONESJM-60 headphone stereo jackProcessor adjustment range: Video level±3dBChroma level±3dBSetup Level0 to +15 IREHue±15°System SC phase360°p-pSystem sync phase+3 to -1µsec.Y/C delay±50 nsec.Power requirements: AC 90 to 265V 48 to 64HzPower consumption: 150WStorage temperature: -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F)Signal outputs: VIDEO OUT 1 (BNC)Composite video 1.0Vp-p 75Ó sync negativeVIDEO OUT 2 (BNC)Composite video 1.0Vp-p 75Ó sync negativeVIDEO OUT 3 (BNC)Composite video 1.0Vp-p 75Ó sync negative w/wo character insertionRecord/playback time: More than 90 min. with BCT-90MLMore than 30 min. with BCT-30MDistortion T.H.D.
