AJ HD1400A
 AJ D1400

 

Multi-Format HD Recording and Playback
With the addition of 720/50p, the AJ-HD1400 covers all of the world's HD broadcast formats in both 1080 and 720 video. It also offers playback of all DVC PRO HD sources, including the 1080/23.98p over 59.94i recorded by the AJ-HDX900 DVCPRO HD camera-recorder and the 720/24p (and 25p) over 60p recorded by Varicam. The built-in HD cross-converter makes it easy to convert between 720p and 1080i HD formats. These features combine to make the AJ-HD1400 a flexible solution for both broadcast and cinema applications.

    *Neither converted output or converted recording is possible for 59.94 Hz to 50 Hz.

SD Source Playback and Up/Down Conversion
The AJ-HD1400 can play DVCPRO 50, DVCPRO, DV* and DVCAM* SD sources. The built-in up-converter and down-converter make it possible to output HD data from SD sources, or SD data from HD sources using just the AJ-HD1400. HD and SD can be output simultaneously. There's also an aspect ratio conversion function for added
flexibility.

1080/24p (25p) Output for AJ-HDC27H Varicam Source Production
The AJ-HD1400 can play 720/23.98p over 59.94p sources and convert them for output as 1080/23.98psf, and it can play 720/25p over 60p sources and convert them for output as 1080/25p. Used in this way, the AJ-HD1400 provides the AJ-HDC27H Varicam user with an easy integration path to native 1080/24p or 1080/25p based
program production.

New Gamma Conversion Function for Use with AJ-HDC27H Varicam Cinema Production System
Some of the functions offered in the earlier AJ-GBX27G HD Gamma Corrector are now built right into the AJ-HD1400, making it a simple, low-cost solution for producing cinema or film-like video. There are two modes
(TELECINE 5, TELECINE 6) for converting source materials recorded using the F.REC mode and gamma curve into video images with a film-like tone. There's also a CINEON mode for converting data into a gamma curve suitable for film recording.

DVC PRO HD VTR:
64 Minutes of High-Quality Recording
Designed to broadcast specifications, the DVCPRO HD codec combines a video bit rate of 100 Mbps with 4:2:2 image sampling and intra-frame compression. This reliable recording system also minimizes quality degradation with fast-moving subjects and is highly resistant to drop-out. The DVCPRO HD-LP format allows up to 64 minutes of recording on large or medium-size cassette with reliable 1/4" metal particle tape.
Eight Channels of 16-bit Digital Audio DVCPRO HD also offers superb 16-bit linear PCM sound quality, with eight embedded channels for recording in 5.1-channel surround sound. The AJ-HD1400 uses HD-SDI for independent
input/output and editing of all eight channels.

Eight Channels of 16-bit Digital Audio
DVCPRO HD also offers superb 16-bit linear PCM sound quality, with eight embedded channels for recording in 5.1-channel surround sound. The AJ-HD1400 uses HD-SDI for independent input/output and editing of all eight channels.

IEEE 1394 Digital Interface
Equipped with an IEEE 1394 interface, the AJ-HD1400 can transfer DVCPRO compression data without quality loss to a PCbased nonlinear editing system for low-cost desktop HD editing. SD output is also possible. Also, HD sources can be downconverted and output as either DVCPRO 50 or DV data. You can also use the AJ-HD1400 for convenient backup recording from the AJ-HDX900 or AG-HVX200 DVCPRO HD camera-recorder.

HD-SDI Input/Output
The AJ-HD1400's HD-SDI interface allows easy HD-SDI input/output and SD-SDI output, making the AJ-HD1400 ideal for use in an HD broadcasting system. Use the AJ-HD1400 for line recording, in-studio production, data transmission and more. A switch is provided on the front panel for selecting the HD-SDI or IEEE 1394 interface for the input signal.

RS-422 9-pin Remote for Editing Use*
The AJ-HD1400's RS-422 9-pin remote interface allows assemble/insert editing similar to a studio recorder. Control from an external editing controller allows to-the-frame editing precision (with HD-SDI connection and using TC mode). This interface also makes the AJ-HD1400 a good choice for high-end production in non-compression, nonlinear editing systems.
*Only in 1080/59.94i, 720/59.94p, 1080/50i, or 720/50p video modes.

Encoder Remote Function
The AJ-HD1400 provides a new D-Sub 15-pin encoder remote control terminal. This gives the AJ-HD1400 data transmission capabilities that rival many studio recorders – something you wouldn't expect in such a compact, affordable unit.

New Joystick Design
The joystick has been redesigned to offer easy, comfortable Slow and Shuttle Search operation. For added
convenience, the stick can also be used to select menu items and set the time code.

PF (Programmable Function) Buttons
You can assign functions from the setup menu to each of the three PF buttons provided. This customizing feature gives you quick, direct access to the operational functions you use most.

UMID* Data Recording and Playback
The AJ-HD1400 records and plays data that conforms to the
UMID standard and contains a variety of supplementary
information. This allows it to read GPS data (latitude, longitude
and altitude) recorded by the AJ-HDX900/AJ-SDX900 Camera-
Recorder. The AJ-HD1400 can handle VANC for a variety of user
data including Closed Captioning, Dolby Dial Norm, and network
signaling.
*UMID stands for Unique Material Identifiers, which are defined for AV material
use in the SMPTE 330M international standard.

Small, Lightweight and Easy to Carry
Measuring only 8-1/2" wide, the AJ-HD1400 is virtually the same size as a 3U-tall waveform monitor, making it a space-saver in OB vans and other tight places. Its light 15.0-pound weight and convenient handle make it easy to carry.

AC/DC Operation
Operating on either AC or DC (12 V), the versatile AJ-HD1400 is a great desktop or rack-mounted VTR that you can also take away for OB van or field use.

I just wanted to thank you for your help in renting speakers for our recent outdoor party. They hooked up easily to our ipod - just as you said they would.  It was so nice to be able to select the music the bride and groom wanted from their own ipod and helped make the evening special.
I was so worried about having the music turn out right, and it did!
Thanks again.

I just wanted to thank you and whomever the technician was with regards to the video equipment and set-up for my Aunt Vicky's wake service at Coletta & Son Funeral Home on September 30th.  My family and our friends were comforted by being able to view the special DVD that was produced by friends of my cousin Tina.
Your advice and patience with all of the changes was greatly appreciated Yasmin.  And we were very happy that all functioned properly throughout the day.  In those first days of raw grief and feelings of being overwhelmed your assistance was a blessing.  God sent us many wonderful people to help us prepare for a loving final tribute to my Aunt and you and your staff were among them.
