Panasonic AJ-SD930 DVCPRO50/25 Editing VTR

This is a versatile, cost-effective studio VTR designed for today's high-end digital video production. The popular DVCPRO50 50Mbps format makes it suitable for creating high-end programming. With 4:2:2 digital component recording and four channels of digital audio, it delivers the superior picture and audio quality professionals need.

It comes standard with SDI input and output, allowing its use in D1, D5 and Digital Betacam video production. Also equipped with a RS-422A remote, the AJ-SD930 fits perfectly into a system with an editing controller.

The unit features a jog & shuttle dial, and plays DVCPRO, DV and DVCAM™ tapes as well as DVCPRO50 tapes. It also records and plays UMID data. These and other features make the AJ-SD930 an ideal solution to a wide range of production and broadcast uses.
