The compact design makes the J-30/SDI ideal for personal, desk-top use. It has all
the features required for viewing, logging and feeding material to a non-linear
editing system. The J-30/SDI can replay Digital Betacam, MPEG IMX, Betacam SX, Betacam
SP and Betacam tapes and has i-Link, SDI, analogue composite, S-VHS and analogue
audio outputs.
Feeder for non-linear editing systems
RS-422 remote control and SDI outputs are provided for use with logging and non-linear
editing systems. An i.Link interface is also included to feed 25Mb/s DV-based editors.
Remote control of the J-30/SDI by the editor via i.Link is also supported. The J-30/SDI
has not, however, been designed for linear online editing or on-air use, or for
applications where 100% guaranteed frame accurate playback is required.
625/525 switchable for international use
The J-30/SDI can playback tapes recorded either in 625 or 525 line standards. Signal
output is the same line standard as the tape (i.e. no standards conversion is performed).
Choice of outputs
The J-30/SDI video outputs are SDI, i.Link, analogue composite and S-VHS. Audio
output is analogue or via the i.Link or SDI interfaces.
Playback of Digital Betacam, MPEG IMX, Betacam SX, Betacam SP and Betacam tapes
During cassette loading the tape format is identified automatically.
Playback of large or small Betacam cassettes
The J-30/SDI can replay both small and large cassettes. This provides a replay time
of over 3 hours from Betacam SX and MPEG IMX tapes.
Infra red remote control
An infra red remote controller is supplied with each J-30/SDI. Tapes can be cued
and reviewed from the comfort of your armchair.
Choice of vertical or horizontal use
The J-30/SDI can be stood vertically (on its side) on your desk next to your PC
keyboard and monitor. A vertical stand is supplied with each player to maximise
space during desktop use.
Metadata enabled
The J-30/SDI can read UMID (Unique Material Identifier) data from tape. This data
assigns a unique ID to a video clip or sequence, and makes it easier to locate material
during production or after archival. MSW-M2000P/1 Series MPEG IMX recorders can
generate and store UMID on MPEG IMX tape, and these tapes can be replayed by the
J-30/SDI. The UMID can also be output from the J-30/SDI via SDI for content tracking
during subsequent processing.
Timecode output
External equipment can be locked to the timecode output of the J-30/SDI using the
BNC connector on the rear panel.
