- Easy PC Connectivity and Non-Linear Editing Compatibility
- Simplifies getting your video footage to your PC for non-linear editing (NLE), and once you're done editing, getting the final result back to video, whether MiniDV or S-VHS/VHS, is equally easy. i.Link (IEEE 1394 compliant) connectivity and tested compatibility with many major NLE systems* will put your editing suite into the digital age. * For compatible systems please consult an authorized JVC dealer.
- MiniDV Format with DVCAM Playback Capability
- The MiniDV deck allows direct playback of
cassettes you've recorded on a MiniDV
camcorder, without any cables to connect.
Or you can connect a MiniDV camcorder to the
SR-VS20U and make DV-to-DV edits of your
footage. MiniDV is a format capable of up to 500 lines
of horizontal resolution, and with extremely broad color bandwidth
(approx. 3 times that of VHS) to deliver breathtaking colors.
The SR-VS20U couples MiniDV quality with the convenience of a
2-in-1 VCR. In addition, since the Sony DVCAM format is
compatible with MiniDV, you can use DVCAM recordings as source
material and play them back on this VCR.
DVCAM is a trademark of Sony Corporation.
- One-Touch Dubbing (DV <--> S-VHS/VHS)
- If you just want a straight dub and are short on time,
just let the SR-VS20U dub the
contents of the MiniDV tape over to
S-VHS/VHS, or vice versa, at the
touch of a single button.
- 64-Segment (8 programs x 8 sets) Random Assemble Editing (MiniDV --> S-VHS/VHS)
- Random Assemble Editing lets you choose up to 8 segments at a
time on the MiniDV tape, and at the touch of a button they're
automatically copied over to S-VHS/VHS. And since up to
8 pre-set programs can be stored in memory, this function lets you
keep the information of 64 segments (8 x 8) in the deck to make
additional copies by simply calling up the program number.
- High Resolution S-VHS Images
- This high-band analog
recording technology
delivers more than 400
lines of horizontal
resolution (60% more than
conventional video) for
quality that approaches
digital. And like MiniDV,
S-VHS recordings look great when viewed on the high-resolution
large-screen projection screens or plasma monitors. Being an
extension of the VHS video format, S-VHS allows recording and
playback of conventional VHS as well, giving you the choice of
dubbing from MiniDV to S-VHS for maximum quality, or from
MiniDV to VHS for wider distribution.
- S-VHS ET Recording
- S-VHS ET (Expansion Technology)
allows the broader-bandwidth
S-VHS signal to be recorded on
widely available VHS tapes (high
grade recommended). So you can
easily enjoy +60% better picture
quality at the touch of a button.
(Depending on tape quality, some noise may appear in EP mode.)
- PCM Digital Audio (DV)
- Digital recording delivers CD quality audio, with a choice of 2 modes
-- 2-channel (16-bit linear, 48 kHz) for optimum quality and 4-channel
(12-bit non-linear, 32 kHz) to allow stereo audio dubbing.
- Hi-Fi VHS Stereo with MTS Decoder (S-VHS/VHS)
- Hi-Fi VHS's broad dynamic range delivers powerful, cinema-like
sound to maximize your video experience, while the built-in MTS
decoder lets you record stereo and SAP TV broadcasts.
