VA-300 Playback Adapter
The recorded luminance or chrominance (CTDM) signal is selectable for replay in B&W
through the viewfinder. Simultaneous audio playback is also available through the built-in
ear speaker on the side panel, or through an earphone. Full color picture playback is available
in the field by connecting the optional VA-300 Playback Adapter to the 20-pin interface of
the UVW-100B. The VA-300
provides composite output
and VHF signal output (with
the optional RFU-89A) for
reviewing the recorded pictures
on the monitor. The VA-300
is also equipped with two
audio channels. Furthermore,
for various field applications
and microwave transmission,
a Time Base Stabilizer (TBS)
is built into the VA-300.
Audio System
Recording inputs to the two longitudinal
audio tracks are via XLR connectors (with
supplied detachable on-camera mic or
through rear inputs). Recording level for
each track is adjustable, and Dolby C noise
reduction can be switched on. In addition
to the level controls for both audio chan-
nels near the LCD display, an additional
level control is located near the viewfinder
for convenient controlling while shooting.
Clear Scan
Clear Scan function allows recording of com-
puter monitor displays without the resulting
horizontal bands that normally appear across
the screen. Clear Scan accomplishes this by let-
ting you select a shutter speed which matches
the scanning frequency of the monitor. Shutter
speeds are selectable in 183 steps within a
range of 60.4 to 200.3 Hz. Also includes a
Variable High Speed electronic shutter to
capture clear images of fast-moving objects.
Shutter speeds include: OFF, 1/100, 1/250,
1/500, 1/1000 and 1/2000 of a second.
Built-In Time
Code Generator
The UVW-100B is equipped with a SMPTE
longitudinal (LTC) Time Code and User-bit
generator and reader. Variable functions, such
as Rec Run/Free Run, Reset/Regeneration, are
easily set. And since Betacam SP has an inde-
pendent time code track, audio tracks do not
have to be sacrificed for time code. For
multi-camera operation, time code genlock to
an external time code is provided.
Time/Date Recording
The UVW-100B can record real time and
date on the LTC (Longitudinal Time Code)
track of the tape. The real time/date is
switchable with the Time Code/User Bit.
Even after the power is turned off, the
time/date data and time code are backed up
in memory by a lithium battery.
Genlockable
Incorporates a genlock input for synchro-
nizing with other professional cameras. Also
has a built-in color bar generator.
26-pin VCR Interface
With external 26-pin connector,
the UVW-100B can feed compo-
nent, composite and S-Video sig-
nals to another VCR for simultane-
ous recording. Functions like
Start/Stop, are controlled through
the 26-pin interface. Three record-
ing modes — Parallel, Internal
Only and External Only — can be
selected with the VCR trigger when the camera is connected to an external VCR.
External VCR status like Record, Tally and Alarm will be shown in the viewfinder.
■ The ergonomic 1.5˝ DXF-601 is made
of die-cast aluminum for ruggedness and
durability, yet is comfortable and easy to
operate.
■ Indication lamps for Rec/Tally, Battery,
Shutter and Gain-Up are placed close to
the viewfinder screen for easy reading.
■ External Record Tally light is visible,
even under daylight shooting conditions.
■ The CRT used in the DXF-601 provides
a remarkable 600 lines of resolution. In
addition, the advanced phase-corrected
peaking circuit increases horizontal detail
in the viewfinder signal, thus balancing
level and phase.
■ The viewfinder is ready one second after
the power is turned on. Displays zebra
level indicators and has a built-in safety
zone and Center Marker generator. Also
displays tape remaining and audio levels.
■ Large diameter eye cup reduces eye strain
and simplifies focusing. Diopter adjust-
ments (-3 to 0) are provided to compensate
for differences in eye sight.
■ The Peaking level of the viewfinder can
be finely adjusted to accommodate your
preferences.
■ The viewfinder’s position on the camera
can be adjusted in a broad horizontal
plane, according to your preference.
