High reliability
Two direct reel motors are employed. A material ofhigh hardness is used for the
lower drum to prolong service life.
In
addition, the beltless mechanism gives high
reliability.
Bunt-in chroma noise reducer
The digital chroma noise reducer yields life-like color reproduction. The recorder
also has jitter elimination functions for stable pictures on playback.
Hi-Ii audio recording
Frequency-modulated hi-fi audio can
be
recorded on the video track
of
a tape while
simultaneously recording normal audio on the audio tracks.
In
playback, either
nonnal audio or hi-fi audio can
be
selected.
Four-channel audio
Recording and playback
of
two channels each
of
normal audio and hi-fi audio, four
channels in total, are possible.
Instantaneous recording from long-pause mode
Recording can
be
instantly resumed even when the recorder
is
in
long-pause mode,
so a chance
to
start recording will not
be
missed.
Automatic control
of
video recording level
The automatic gain control (AGC) circuit maintains the proper video level assuring
optimum video recording.
Programmed operation
Programmed operation allows you to locate specified points on a tape
in
search
mode and also to automatically repeat a desiredportion.
Loop-through output
A video input signal connected to one
of
the VIDEO
IN
connectors is directly
output from the other VIDEO IN connector. Pictures are displayed
on
a monitor
connected to it, therefore, with good resolution even in modes other than playback,
and you can record pictures while viewing them on the monitor.
LED time counter
The time counter reads out the CTL signals recorded
on
a tape and indicates the
tape running time in hours, minutes and seconds. This is useful for checking
recording time
as
well.
Search function
Search
in
the forward and reverse directions can be performed at 5 times normal
speed. When the search dial
of
an SVRM-100 remote control unit (optional) is
used, the picture can be viewed
on
playback at various speeds from 1/
10
times to 10
times normal speed
as
well as in still mode.

Index search
When the SVRM-100 remote control unit (optional) is used, desired points on a
tape can be easily located by marking an index signal at these points in advance.
Blank search
The blank search function automatically finds ;m unrecorded portion on a tape.
It
may be helpful in locating the starting point
of
recording.
Frame memory and freeze functions
Pictures can be stored frame by frame in memory, using the frame memory
function, and a noiseless still picture can be obtained with the freeze function.
For
a still picture, either a frame or a field picture can be selected with the touch
of
a
button.
Menu operation function
The menu operation function pennits various operational requirements for the
recorder to be easily designated, using the buttons on the front panel.
Automatic tape eject at the end
When recording reaches the end ofa tape, the recorder automatically ejects the
tape. This avoids inadvertent overrecording which erases valuable data. This
automatic tape eject can
be
inhibited through a menu operation.
Tape remaining time indication
A rough estimate
of
the amount
of
recording on a tape is displayed.
The remaining time
of
a tape can also
be
checkedon the SVAC-100 indicator unit
(optional).
