• With the adoption of the Betacam SP recording format and the use of metal particle tape, the picture quality of the BVV-5 has been remarkably improved over the conventional Betacam recorder. The FM carrier frequency allocation has been raised, which makes improvements in the luminance bandwidth, signal to noise ratio, and other key parameters possible. The BVV-5 is compatible with the existing Betacam format and can use either metal particle tape or conventional oxide tape. The maximum recording time is 30 minutes.
• Two AFM audio channels are added, making a total of four channels available. The two longitudinal audio channels are provided with the type-C Dolby(TM)* NR Noise Reduction system. FM modulated audio is simultaneously recorded with the video information by the rotary video head. The AFM characteristics will create new applications in the field. *Dolby is a trademark of the Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.
• The magnesium diecast frame contributes to a reduction in weight and provides rugged construction. The BVV-5 weighs only 3.5 kg (7 lb. 12 oz).
• The BVV-5's rugged construction is designed to meet the demands of almost any shooting environment. The cassette compartment is shielded by rubber to protect it from dust as well as to make it weatherproof. Initial setting function buttons such as time code, etc., are covered by the safety lid to prevent operation errors.
• In spite of the addition of various features and functions, a reduction in power consumption has been achieved by the use of the newly developed IC and high density packaging in the electronic circuits. As a result, the BVV-5 consumes only 14W of total power and can be operated approximately 55 minutes with the BVP-701S when using an NP-1B battery.
• Simultaneous playback of the monochrome picture on the viewfinder is possible when the BVV-5 is used together with the BVP series camera in VTR-in-camera combinations, or used separately by attaching the VA-5 adapter to the BVV-5. Besides luminance signal playback, chrominance (CTDM) signal playback can also be selected. Audio confidence is also available at the same time through the built-in speaker or earphone.
• When the return video switch on the lens is pushed in the Rec Pause mode, the tape rewinds by 2 seconds and the BVV-5 automatically plays back the last scene, and stops at the previous position precisely. If the return video switch is pushed longer, the tape rewind time can be extended up to a maximum of approximately 10 second.
• SMPTE time code is automatically recorded on a dedicated longitudinal time code tack. VITC insertion is also possible and the insertion position can be selected. A built-in LTC reader is also included in the BVV-5. Real time code clock data can be assigned to the user bit of the VITC or the LTC by selecting the switch on the board.
• An 8-digit LCD display is provided to indicate tape time and time code and user bit status. Details regarding the warning indications are also displayed in this area.
• The BVV-5 provides frame-accurate back space editing to ensure sequential recording without picture breakup at the transition point. Back space editing can be performed either from the STAND BY mode or the SAVE mode.
• The function buttons of play, rewind, fast forward, and stop are located on the top of the BVV-5 and can be covered by the safety lid to avoid operation errors. When the BVV-5 is connected with a camera or a VTR adapter, all the keys are automatically inhibited during the recording mode. The record mode can also be activated by the trigger button on BVP series camera heads or zoom lenses.
• Four inputs of audio are available in total: two for longitudinal, and two for AFM. Input selections of line, camera, or microphone are possible. Each channel's recording level can be independently adjusted.
• The audio CH-1 XLR connector provides power output to an external microphone by setting the external MIC position of the input audio select on. When the audio input select switch is set to LINE or CAMERA, external microphone power is automatically set off.
• The BVV-5 is provided with a comprehensive malfunction indicator. The indications of RF, SERVO, HUMID, SLACK, TAPE END, and BATTERY will be displayed by the LCD in the timer area to give details on the warning status.
• The audio loudspeaker built into the BVV-5 further enhances its easy operation. During recording, mixed channel, individual channel, or alarm tone signals can be monitored.
• By attaching the VA-5 VTR adapter, the BVV-5 can be operated as a standalone recorder. The VA-5 will accept component and composite signals via the 26-pin connector. It is also equipped with a BNC connector for composite signal input. This makes the BVV-5 able to be connected with any form of cameras with no camera modifications. Two audio level meters, a record button, and a tape remaining time indicator are also provided on the top panel of the VA-5 for easy operation in the field.
• The VA-500 is a compact and lightweight playback adapter designed for the BVV-5 recorder unit. A single 20-pin interface with the VA-500 will allow full color picture and one channel audio (either single or mixed channel) playback. Both composite signal and VHF outputs are provided, thus enabling recording checks on TV receivers and microwave transmission. In addition, external TBC interface capability is also provided.
• In addition to the built-in time code generator, the BVV-5 is provided with external time code inputs/outputs.
• In addition to the supplied battery case for one NP-1B, the BVV-5 can accept optional battery cases to extend operation time. The DC-500, which houses one BP-90A, can be easily attached onto the back of the BVV-5 when the NP-1B battery case has been detached. The DC-520, when attached on to the supplied battery case, allows the BVV-5 to house two NP-1B batteries.
