HIGH DEFINITION
VIDEO SYSTEM
With the widespread use of HDCAM camcorders and studio VTRs in
the high-definition field and post production, it was inevitable that producers,
journalists and others involved in the programme production chain would be
demanding cost-effective HDCAM viewers that can readily be used in production
environments.
Sony provides the solution by introducing
the J-H Series Compact Players in two models –
the J-H1 and the J-H3.
Sharing the same design philosophy and
physical dimensions of the existing J Series
standard-definition compact players, both the
J-H1 and J-H3 are affordable, compact,
lightweight and offer the same low-power
consumption characteristics.
While the J-H1 is ideal for viewing HDCAM
playback at 59.94i, 50i, 25P, and 29.97P, the
J-H3 is equipped with a number of additional
features to support 24P playback and is ideally
suited for feeding nonlinear editors, as well as
viewing and scene selection.
Common Features
• Compact Body Design
• Replay of Both Small and Large
Cassettes
• HDCAM™ Playback Capability
• Flexible Audio Outputs
• HD and SD Outputs
• Down Conversion Capability
• RGB Computer Display Interface
• i.LINK Interface (Option)
• Tele-File™ System
J-H1/J-H3
Compact Body Design
Sharing a similar chassis design to the existing
J Series multi-format compact players for
standard-definition formats, both the J-H1 and
J-H3 retain a compact and lightweight design.
Equivalent in size to a standard desktop PC,
they can be effortlessly placed on the desks of
busy producers, directors and editors.
The J-H1 and J-H3 players are just 307 x 100
x 397 mm (12 1⁄8 x 4 x 15 3⁄4 inches) in size and
weigh only 7.5 kg (16 lb 9 oz). They can be
used horizontally or placed upright with the
supplied vertical stand, allowing operators to
locate players as desired even in space-
constrained or awkward environments. Easy
control is assured with the supplied infra-red
remote controller.
Replay of Both Small
and Large Cassettes
Despite their very compact designs, the J-H1
and J-H3 can playback both large and small
size cassettes.
HDCAM – Playback Capability
Both the J-H1 and J-H3 have the capability to
playback HDCAM cassettes that are recorded
in 1080/59.94i, 50i and 1080/29.97P, 25P
formats
–
primarily used in high-definition
television production applications. The J-H3
has the additional capability to playback
1080/23.98, 24P formats to address the movie-
making industry, and high-end television and
commercial productions.
