The BR-DV3000 is a simple, no-frills recorder/player with a compact and stylish design that can be
installed horizontally or vertically.
NTSC/PAL recording and playback
- Switch between NTSC or PAL as required. This makes it easy to work with internationally sourced material and transfer it to a non-linear system for editing. You can also record to Standard or Mini DV tape in either NTSC or PAL system. (Note: This VTR cannot be used as an NTSC/PAL converter. It can record and play back signals in both NTSC and PAL formats.
IEEE1394, Y/C input/output and composite input/output
- The BR-DV3000U is equipped with an industry standard DV (Firewire) connection that allows recordings to be transferred to and from a wide variety of other digital systems, including popular non-linear editing systems. Dubbing can be performed with another DV deck or camcorder with no loss in audio or video fidelity. In addition to DV input/output, the BR-DV3000 is equipped with the Y/C (S-video) input/output and composite input/output.
DVCAMTM playback capability
- DVCAMTM recordings can be played back directly on the BR-DV3000. This makes it easy to use DVCAMTM recordings as source material for editing.
RS-422 interface
- The BR-DV3000 is equipped with an industry-standard RS-422 interface, allowing for connection to a wide range of external components. For example, it can be used as a player (not recorder) when connected to the RM-G820.
Wireless/wired remote control
- Connecting the optional RM-G30 controller to the REMOTE connector enables you to control BR-DV3000 operations from a distance. There's also a wireless remote control that provides control over field advance (1st/2nd), frame advance, menu display, audio reference level selection (-20 dB or -12 dB), color bar display and blank search, as well as in addition to basic operations.
Time Code ReGenerator, 20x high-speed search
- The built-in time code generator provides preset (rec run) and regene time codes. In combination with the 20x search function (100x max. in the FF or REW mode), this provides super-fast access to any target point on the tape with visible pictures.
Audio indicator
- This indicator lights whenever audio signals are input. Also, it provides a convenient way to check for the presence of the audio signals during tape playback.
Continuous recording
- When a camcorder is connected to the BR-DV3000 via the DV connector, the BR-DV3000 will start recording 5 minutes before the tape in the camcorder ends. This enables continuous shooting for extended periods with no breaks in the recording.
Repeat playback
- When the video signal ends or tape ends, playback starts again from the beginning of the recorded video or tape (video end repeat/tape end repeat).
Vertical or Horizontal operation
- The new tape mechanism is compatible with either vertical or horizontal operation, making it easy to install the compact BR-DV3000 in a narrow space or close to a non-linear system.
On-screen menu
- Systematic, easy-to-understand menu screens simplify setting and operation procedures.
