DVCPRO50 Portable VCR (NTSC:525)
A Full-Function, Portable Digital VCR That's Ideal for EFP
Panasonic has developed the AJ-D92 as the first Portable VCR in the continuously growing DVCPRO family. Featuring DC power capability for battery operation, compact size, light weight and a rugged design, the AJ-D92 lets you take digital performance into the field. A host of input/output terminals, including a 26-pin camera connector and 4-channel independent mic/line input, gives the AJ-D92 the flexibility to fit a wide variety of system configurations. Using a L-size cassette, the AJ-D92 delivers 92 minutes of continuous recording in DVCPRO50 mode or a full 184 minutes in DVCPRO mode. Offering DVCPRO50's highly acclaimed digital recording quality in a portable system, the AJ-D92 is ideal for EFP (Electronic Field Production) tasks such as line recording, back-up recording and playback monitoring.
Full 4-Channel Digital Audio
The AJ-D92 combines superb pictures with outstanding digital audio featuring 48-kHz sampling and 16-bit quantization. The AJ-D92 provides 4-channel recording and playback in DVCPRO50 mode, and 2-channel recording and playback in DVCPRO mode. Four audio input/output channels each with independent adjustable recording and playback levels allow field recording with four microphones. You can also record onto one analog/cue audio channel, with CH1/CH2/ MIX selection for the recording signal.

26-Pin Camera Connector

The AJ-D92 connects to most current EFP cameras and lets you select either composite or component video input. The REC and REC Pause functions can be controlled by the camera trigger for enhanced recording performance.
4:2:2 Digital Component Video
Thanks to DVCPRO50's 4:2:2 component video recording and playback, the AJ-D92 delivers the quality demanded for high-end video productions such as TV commercials with chroma key, multi-layering and computer graphics. The 3.3:1 compression ratio means that picture degradation is minimal during both compression and decompression, so the 4:2:2 images retain their superior quality.
DVCPRO50/DVCPRO Switchable Recording and Playback
The AJ-D92 can record and playback in both DVCPRO50 and DVCPRO, and it accepts both the L and M cassette. In DVCPRO50 mode, the AJ-D92 can record up to 92 minutes on an AJ-5P92LP*1 compact and metal particle 1/4" cassette tape. In DVCPRO mode, recording time is doubled*2 to a full 184 minutes.
*1 An AJ-5P92LP cassette tape that has been recorded in DVCPRO mode (25 Mbps) can be played back only by VCRs that support DVCPRO 184-minute tapes. *2 When recording in DVCPRO50 mode using a DVCPRO tape, the recording time will be half that indicated on the cassette.

Auto Back Recording

Simultaneously pressing the REC and Pause buttons activates the Auto Back function, which seamlessly joins the next recorded scene to the previous one.
Color Playback in the Field
Equipped with a BNC terminal for composite video output, the AJ-D92 can provide playback of color images on a monitor TV. The built-in character generator allows superimposing with time code control. For simple monitoring, video and audio can be output via the AJ-D92's RCA terminals.
AJ-A95 External Remote Controller (optional)
Connecting the optional AJ-A95 to the AJ-D92's 9-pin terminal gives you convenient remote control operation. The AJ-A95's jog & shuttle dial provides smooth, easy searches when playing back tapes.

Additional Features

Built-in SMPTE time code generator/reader On-screen set-up display Corresponds to phantom microphone (+48 V/+12 V) REC review function REC inhibit on/off switch Headphone and earphone outputs with volume control

Portable, Rugged Unit with DC Operation
The AJ-D92 features a compact design, light weighs only 13.0 lbs. (approx.), and is equipped with a handle for easy carrying. It can be powered by a battery pack (AU-BP402) that snaps into the body, or by connecting an AC adaptor to the AJ-D92's DC input terminal. The AJ-D92's low power consumption only 27 watts during recording adds to its in-the-field convenience.

Sturdy, Reliable Design
Built for use in the field, the AJ-D92 body features a reinforcing protector inside a tough magnesium alloy shell. The tape slot is protected by a full cover that locks out dust, rain and splashes.

The displayed value is based on actual operation using 5 frames as a unit. Select whether or not sound will be recorded. Set the delay after pressing REC START to start recording in INTERVAL REC. Set PRE RECORDING. 0-15SEC: Set the length of time that can be retrospectively recorded before the REC START button is pressed. <Note> The maximum selectable range is 8 seconds when the REC MODE in the <SYSTEM MODE> screen is set to 50M (DVCPRO50). Select whether or not to enable LOOP REC. This setting can be used with PRE RECORDING features. ON: Enable LOOP REC. OFF: Disable LOOP REC. <Note> After the power is turned off, this item will default to OFF the next time the power is turned on. Items/ Adjustable Data Saved Range VOICE MEMO RESERV ON OFF Remarks Set the available memory space for voice memos in P2 cards. ON: Reserve a voice memo area of 10 minutes or longer separately from the video recording capacity. The voice memo area can be used even when FULL is displayed for the recording capacity of the P2 card. OFF: Do not reserve any voice memo space. <Note> Even when this item is set to OFF, and FULL is displayed for the P2 cards recording capacity, it may be possible to record voice memos depending on the status of the P2 card. Select operating modes that allow recording to start. ALL: Allow recording to start during stop, recording pause, and playback. NORMAL: Allow recording to start during stop and recording pause. <Note> When the INTERVAL REC MODE is set to either ON or ONE SHOT, the ALL setting for this option switches to NORMAL operation. Select the recording order of the slot when the power is turned on. HOLD: The recording order starts with the card previously selected when the power was turned off.
