Versatile Output Capability --- For Cost-Effective and Flexible Monitoring HD and SDI Outputs --- For Connection to High Grade Monitors The J-H1 and J-H3 both come equipped with a analog Y/Pb/Pr component output (BNC x 3) for connection to an HD picture monitor. The J-H3 additionally offers HDSDI and SD-SDI outputs giving a choice of high quality monitoring and work-tape copying. (AES/EBU audio and non audio data are embedded in these digital outputs.) Down conversion capability built-in --- Connectivity with SDTV Monitors Both the J-H1 and J-H3 have a built-in down conversion capability, offering NTSC or PAL composite video output from the BNC and RCA output connectors. With this capability, HDCAM-originated content can be viewed on both SDTV professional and consumer monitors. RGB Computer Display Interface --- For Connection to Computer Displays Equipped with an RGB computer display interface, both the J-H1 and J-H3 can output HDCAM-originated content to a computer display, at XGA resolution. (As the pixel count of an XGA display is 1024 x 768, the HDCAM image will be "letter-boxed" to 1024 x 577 pixels in the center.) Alternatively, when large screen viewing is preferred, the player can be connected to an XGA capable data projector. J-H1/-JH3 PC PROJector J-H3 Rear Panel i.LINK® Interface --- 'Single-Cable' Transmission of Video, Audio and Time Code When equipped with the optional HKJ-101 i.LINK interface board, both the J-H1 and J-H3 can down-convert the HDCAM signal to a DV signal, in which video, audio and time code are transferred through a single i.LINK interface cable. This DV-output capability allows the J-H1 or J-H3 to be connected to a compatible DVCAM® deck for straight dubbing of HDCAM material to DVCAM tape**. It also allows for a direct connection to compatible DV-based nonlinear editors. J-H1/J-H3 Laptop PC *i.LINK is a trademark of Sony used only to designate that a product contains an IEEE1394 connection. The i.LINK connection may vary depending on the software applications, operating system and compatible i.LINK devices. All products with an i.LINK connection may not communicate with each other. Please refer to the documentation that comes with any device having an i.LINK connection for information on compatibility, operating conditions and proper connection. **Assemble or Insert editing is not supported. Tape Logging System with JZ-1 Software Combined use of the J-H1 or J-H3 with the JZ-1 Videocassette Logging Software creates an easy-to-use tape logging system. This is achieved by connecting the J-H1 or J-H3 to a PC* running JZ-1 software via an RS-232C cable. The JZ-1 software provides an easy-to-use GUI to create log data of edit in/out points and to add simple comments to each logged scene. In addtion, a storyboard function is available to assemble a sequence of logged scenes into a basic EDL for edit data export. *An appropriate video capture card must be installed in the PC. Tele-FileTM System Another important option to increase editing efficiency is the Sony Tele-File system, a non-contact read/write system for storing production-related data on an I/C memory embedded in a 1/2-inch cassette label. Connecting a PC running JZ-1 Videocassette logging Software to the J-H1 and J-H3 allows information to be read and written to a Tele-File label (option: MLB-1M-100) via GUI-based operations.
