With a width of only 215 mm (8 1/2'), two BR-DV600's can be placed side by side in a 19-inch standard rack. Weighs only 4 kg. (8.8 lbs.). • The mini-DV format offers all the convenience and affordability of a consumer system, while providing high-quality 4:1:1, 8-bit, 25 Mbps component digital processing to give you the superior recording performance you need for professional applications. Mini-DV tapes are readily available and inexpensive, so you can get replacement tapes whenever you need them, wherever you are. • To complement its superior DV pictures, the BR-DV600 offers outstanding digital PCM sound. You can choose two 16-bit 48-kHz channels or four 12-bit, 32-kHz channels with a dynamic range of more than 85 dB. • In addition to AC power, a DC-12v connector is provided, allowing the BR-DV600 to run in locations where an AC power supply is not available. • To enable even more versatile system configurations, the BR-DV600 has an industry-standard RS-422 interface. As a feeder in an editing system, the BR-DV600 can supply a DV source for editing with various formats. It also comes with JVC's 12-pin bus interface compatible with JVC's popular S-VHS edit-desk system (BRS500, BRS800). An RS-232 (SA-K46U) interface board is optionally available. Control the BR-DV600 from a PC either via DV or the RS-232 interface. • Equipped with DV (IEEE1394) input and output for lossless digital transfer to a DV-based non-linear editing system or DV recorder. In addition, composite, Y/C and component inputs/outputs are provided for various video sources. • Super Scene Finder SSF lets you log scenes automatically or manually in the field, and mark which scenes you want to use. SSF dramatically speeds up the transfer process and saves disk space in a non-linear editing system. Logged data recorded on a tape with the GY-DV500 can be spooled onto a non-linear editing system. Since scene data is written directly onto the mini-DV cassette, expensive cassettes with memory chips are not required. Up to 134 scenes can be marked per cassette. • Additional Features: Time code reader/generator External sync input and output External timer recording/playback Specifications General Power Requirements: Ac 120 V 50/60 Hz Dc 12 V (11 V To 17 V) Power Consumption: 35 W Dimensions: 215 X 88 X 324.5 Mm (Wxhxd) 8 1/2' X 3 1/2' X 12 13/16' (Wxhxd) Weight: 4 Kg. 8.8 Lbs.
