Product Information
The JVC BR-DV3000U VTR is a simple, no-frills player/recorder with a compact design that can be installed vertically or horizontally on the desktop. It will record and playback NTSC and PAL signals. Additionally, the deck with its RS-422 port can act as a player/feeder in a linear edit environment. You will find that the BR-DV3000U is an economical and intelligent solution to many linear and nonlinear issues confronting busy video pros today.
Key Features
• NTSC and PAL Compatibility
Switch between NTSC and PAL as required. This makes it easy to work with internationally sourced material and transfer it to a nonlinear edit system for editing. You can also record to standard or mini DV tape in either NTSC or PAL systems.
• RS-422 Interface
Though the BR-DV3000U cannot be used as a recorder in a linear environment, the deck is equipped with the RS-422 connector. DV source material can be transferred to a variety of formats for editing. Linear editors will use the machine as a player/feeder in such circumstances.
• DVCAM Playback
DVCAM recordings can be played back directly on the BR-DV3000U. This makes it easy to use DVCAM recordings as source material for editing.
• Continuous Recording Feature
When a camcorder is connected to the BR-DV3000U via the DV connector, the deck will start recording 5 minutes before the camera's tape runs out. This enable continuous recording shooting for extended periods with no breaks in the recording.
• Remote Control Options
The BR-DV3000U comes with a wireless remote control unit with comprehensive menus setting features. For completely reliable basic operations the deck accepts a wired remote controller, the RM-G30U, that provides all play, record, forward and reverse controls.
