There are multiple HDCAM video formats in use today and the J-H1 plays back almost every one of them. This machine will read 59.94i (60i), 50i, 25p and 29.97p (30p) framerates.
A 3-BNC connection outputs both analog HD and standard component video. Additionally the deck down-converts high definition video signals to NTSC or PAL system video so output can be seen on any monitor or television screen. With the optional Firewire board, the HKJ-101 down-conversion with audio and timecode can be output for direct dubbing to DVCAM equipment.
The J-H1 playback machine can be an efficient pre-edit logging machine when coupled with JZ-1 software on a PC (with capture card) that has RS-232C control. Log data including in and out points can be recorded along with simple comments regarding the scene. A story-board feature is present in the software package to assemble a sequence of logged scenes into a basic EDL for edit data export.
