Compactness and lightweight are key factors
designed into the PVW-2800P, which weighs approximately 25kg (55 lb 2 oz), and
is 5 units high (19-inch rack mountable). The power consumption is 150 W.
VTR to VTR
Comprehensive Editing Facility
The PVW-2800P provides a comprehensive, built-in
VTR to VTR editing facility.
In addition to the insert and assemble edit
functions, which are equipped with auto preview / review, the PVW-2800P also
provides an audio split editing capability with independent IN and OUT memories.
The PVW-2800P meets the requirements of a modern editing system, having
frame-by-frame editing point trim, selectable pre-roll time and auto edit in/out
functions, delivering frame accurate editing without any additional control
hardware.
With its DMC (Dynamic Motion Control) editing
function, the PVW-2800P can perform slow motion editing, when a DTTM
equipped VTR, such as the BVW-65P or BVW-75P, with RS-422A communication is used
as the player VTR.
Built-in Time Base
Corrector
The PVW-2800P is provided with a built-in TBC
(Time Base Corrector) as standard. A superior quality output video is obtained
directly from the PVW-2800P, with no additional time base correction required.
Advanced high quality digital dropout compensation also ensures consistent
picture performance.
TBC Remote Control
In addition to the built-in TBC adjustment of the
PVW-2800P, remote adjustments may be performed using the optional BVR-50P
connected via the D-sub 15-pin cable to the rear panel connector (TBC REMOTE).
Built-in Time Code
Generator / Reader
The generation and reading of both VITC (Vertical
Interval Time Code) and LTC (Longitudinal Time Code) to the EBU format, together
with user bits, come as standard in the PVW-2800P, 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.
Character Display
The PVW-2800P is provided with a built-in
character generator and characters can be superimposed on the signals from Video
Output 3 or the Monitor Output. It displays time code generator/reader data (VITC/LTC/U-BIT)
and 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 PVW-2800P is operated
under the setup menu mode, the initial setup menu is automatically displayed
from the character generator.
High Speed Picture
Search
By using the search dial incorporated in the
PVW-2800P, picture search can be made at various speeds over a range of up to 24
times normal speed in forward and reverse. A recognizable colour 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.
Versatile System
Interface
-
RS-422A serial
interface (9-pin)
An RS-422A serial interface is provided for versatile editing system expansion
and flexible system control. The PVW-2800P will interface with other RS-422A
equipped Sony machines.
-
Y/R-Y/B-Y Component
Video Signal Input / Output
The PVW-2800P provides two types of connectors for both Y/R-Y/B-Y component
signal input and output: two sets of three BNC connectors or a Betacam 12-pin
DUB connector. This component signal interface facility allows full advantage
to be taken of the superb performance of the Betacam SP format.
-
Composite Video
Signal Input / Output
In addition to the component connectors, the PVW-2800P is equipped with the
composite video signal input / output connectors. The PVW-2800P employs new
digital LSIs for video signal processing, including Y/C separation and
decoding, so that the composite video input signals can be decoded faithfully.
-
U-matic DUB Signal
Output
With the optional BKW-2030 U-matic DUB Out Kit installed, the PVW-2800P can
transfer Betacam SP material to a U-matic VTR through its 7-pin U-matic DUB
output connector with minimum picture degradation. This transfer is made
without being affected by the performance of the Y/C separator in the U--matic
VTR.
-
S-video Signal Input
/ Output
S-video signal input/output connectors are also provided so that other
equipment with S-video connectors can easily be interfaced to the PVW-2800P.
User Friendly Dial
Menu Operation
In order to meet various customised operations,
the PVW-2800P is provided with 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 Timer display. The modified menu is memorised in a
non-volatile memory.
Improved
Serviceability
For easy maintenance and servicing, the PVW-2800P
is provided with comprehensive self-diagnostics. A digital hour meter is also
fitted to indicate the accumulated times of power on, drum rotation and tape
running. It can also display the number of threading/unthreading operations.
Detachable Control
Panel
The control panel of the PVW-2800P 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.
19-inch EIA Standard
Rack Mountable
With the optional RMM-100, the PVW-2800P can be
mounted into a 19-inch EIA standard rack without taking off the side panel.
