Overview

The compact AJ-SD93 desktop VTR is ideal for production tasks that employ several types of digital video cameras. Equipped with IEEE 1394 interface, the AJ-SD93 is ready for use with a nonlinear editor ¹ or network server as a player and recorder. Because it plays back DV and DVCAM sources as well as DVCPRO and DVCPRO50, the AJ-SD93 offers format flexibility.

• Comes standard-equipped with IEEE 1394 digital interface.
• Plays DV (Standard/Mini), DVCAM (S/L), DVCPRO (M/L), or DVCPRO50 (M/L) tapes.
• Records in DVCPRO or DVCPRO50 digital component format.
• Space-saving 3RU half-rack size.
• Side handle for easy carrying.
• Standard-equipped video monitor output (BNC) and audio monitor outputs (RCA, 2 channels).
• A joy-stick controller on the front panel for video search and menu settings.
• Multi-voltage: 100 to 240 VAC
