Overview:

Product Description

With built-in time code generator/reader, time base corrector and high-speed picture search, the UVW-1800 provides frame accurate editing and consistent picture quality. It is an ideal deck for digitizing to a non-linear edit system with component video input or creating a Betacam SP dub from a DVCAM VTR equipped with component video output.

FEATURES

The UVW1800 also features 90 minute playback/record, 16 times picture search, RS-422A remote interface, component video input/output along with composite and S-video input/output. It records on metal particle tape and will playback any Betacam or Betacam SP recorded tape.

Description
Especially well-suited for Electronic News Gathering, post production and on-air transmission, the UVW1800 VTR provides full editing capabilities of the Betacam SP format. With built-in time code generator/reader, time base corrector and high-speed picture search, it provides frame accurate editing and consistent picture quality. The UVW1800 also features 90 minute playback/record, RS-422A remote interface, composite input/output, Y/C composite input/output and component (Y, R-Y, B-Y) input/output. It is an ideal deck for creating Betacam SP dub from DVCAM VTRs equipped with component video output, and is an economical way to build a superior editing system.

High Speed Picture Search
This feature provides a recognizable picture at various speeds over a range of up to five times normal speed in color, and up to 16 times normal speed in monochrome, both in forward and reverse.

Full Editing Function
When connected to RS-422A equipped editing controllers such as the PVE-500, the UVW1800 functions as an editing recorder for assemble or insert editing. Frame accurate editing is assured in both modes, thanks to the sophisticated servo control and built-in time code generator/reader. In the insert mode, video, audio CH-1, audio CH-2 and time code can be inserted independently or in any combination. In the assemble mode, all of the prerecorded signals are erased and replaced with new signals.

Chrominance
AM – More than 52dB – PM – More than 52dB

Power requirements
AC 90 to 132 V, 48 to 64 Hz

Built-in Time Base Corrector
Provides stable pictures without any additional equipment. Advanced, high-quality digital dropout compensation also ensures consistent picture performance.

Built-in Time Code Generator/Reader
The Betacam SP format has an independent time code track so that a longitudinal audio track does not have to be sacrificed for time code. The time codes conform to the SMPTE standard in which LTC and User-bits are provided. LTC is used to identify the absolute address of a frame, while User-bits are reserved for operator’s use. Frame accurate A/B roll editing is possible using the LTC.
