HDCAM compact player with simple interfaces, including i.Link
The J-H1 has an analogue component HD output as well as a composite downconverted output as standard.
(Requires optional HKJ-101 i.Link interface board). DV based off-line editing has become an industry norm. In order to bridge the gap between HDCAM tapes and DV, the J-H1 can be equipped with an i.Link connector by installing the HKJ-101 i.Link interface board.
DV video (525/625 depending on SDTV output), audio (2ch or 4ch), timecode, and machine control can be communicated between the J-H1 and a non-linear editor via a single IEEE1394 connection.
Note that machine control is effective for material capturing purposes only, and frame accurate editing is not supported. Tape-to-tape editing between an external VTR is not supported. Crash-recording via i.Link is possible.
The J-H1 has an XGA computer output (regular mini 15 pin D-type), so you can display RGB pictures at 1024 x 577 pixels (that is, letterboxed from the native 1024 x 768) on virtually any computer screen or projector. Timecode and safe area markers can be superimposed.
The J-H1 supports both 25P (50i) and 29.97P (59.94i) frequencies. Original 24P tapes can be played back at 25P with time code conversion and sound (pitch is 4% higher). Both the original 24P and the converted 25P timecode can be superimposed on the outputs.
