Capable of playing back all broadcast level HD, as well as both DVCPRO 50 and 25 standard definition formats, make it an indispensable asset for a wide range of professional applications and workflows. The AJ-HD1400 can perform both HD/SD up-down conversion, as well as 720/1080 cross conversion, providing users with the added flexibility necessary for broadcast recording and delivery. From field acquisition to nonlinear editing, this VTR provides a compact all-in-one solution that simply gets the job done.

Key Features

• The AJ-HD1400 can handle all formats for 1080 and 720 high definition signals. It can also playback 1080/24p (23.98) offered from the AJ-HDX900 DVCPRO HD camera. Additionally, the built-in cross conversion technology makes it simple when going between both resolutions. Since HDTV standards vary from network to network, this type of flexibility can be very useful for delivering broadcast-ready programming.
• The lightweight frame makes the AJ-HD1400 the ideal field recording tool. Together with either the Varicam or HDX900, the VTR can be taken virtually anywhere without the added bulk of more cumbersome units. In the studio, it can fit into small places, saving desk or rack space for other equipment.
• The AJ-HD1400 is capable of outputting digital signals both over FireWire (IEEE 1394) and HD-SDI. FireWire transmission is perfect for ingesting directly to nonlinear editing workstations using programs such as Final Cut Pro and Avid. The HD-SDI (Serial Digital Interface) is geared towards line recording and in-studio production. Whatever your input/output application requires, this VTR is up to the task.
