User manual EDIROL VC-50HD

[. . . ] Owner's Manual Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled: "USING THE UNIT SAFELY" and "IMPORTANT NOTES" (p. These sections provide important information concerning the proper operation of the unit. Additionally, in order to feel assured that you have gained a good grasp of every feature provided by your new unit, Owner's Manual should be read in its entirety. The manual should be saved and kept on hand as a convenient reference. Copyright © 2009 ROLAND CORPORATION All rights reserved. [. . . ] AA batteries installed in the internal battery case will operate as a backup power supply. This allows the unit to continue operating seamlessly even if the AC adaptor should become unplugged or if the external battery is replaced. Compact and tough body Like the Edirol F-1, the VC-50HD is designed for use in the field (Field Oriented Design). Its compact and tough design ensures that it can be used reliably in rugged conditions. Provides a low-cost monitoring environment An HDMI output connector is provided on the VC-50HD's front panel. This can be connected to a computer display or TV monitor, providing a low-cost monitoring environment. * MMP (Moore Microprocessor Portfolio) refers to a patent portfolio concerned with microprocessor architecture, which was developed by Technology Properties Limited (TPL). * Anton Bauer is registered trademark of Anton/Bauser, Inc. 10 The VC-50HD's conversion capabilities The format of the input to the VC-50HD is detected automatically. The VC-50HD is capable of performing conversions in either direction (SDI to IEEE 1394 and IEEE 1394 to SDI). The formats that can be converted and output are shown below. fig. format-chart. eps SDI HD-SDI 1080/59. 94i 1080/50i 720/59. 94p 720/50p IEEE 1394 HDV 35Mbps MPEG-2 TS 50Mbps MPEG-2 TS 9Mbps MPEG-2 TS 12Mbps MPEG-2 TS SD-SDI 480/59. 94i(NTSC) DV 576/50i(PAL) * The VC-50HD does not support up/down-conversion, I/P conversion, or frame rate conversion. * If you select MPEG-2 TS as the IEEE 1394 output, and input SD-SDI, the bit rate will be approximately one quarter of what it is when HD-SDI is input. 11 Names of things and what they do Front panel fig. VC50-front. eps 1 2 3 4 5 1. HD/SD-SDI input connector and indicator This connector allows SDI signals to be input . If an input signal is present, the indicator will light in one of the following colors. · HD-SDI (1080i) : green · HD-SDI (720p) : orange · SD-SDI : red If the Edirol F-1 (version 2 or later) is connected as the output destination device, you'll be able to edit the VC-50HD's settings via remote control from the F-1. 2. HD/SD-SDI output/thru out connector This connector outputs an SDI signal. Connect this to the SDI input connector of your deck or other video recording device. You can also use this as a thru-out for the SDI signal that is being input to the VC-50HD, in order to send ("thru-out") this signal to a video mixer or similar device. Carefully check the shape of the IEEE 1394 connector before connecting it. Connecting it in the reversed orientation may damage components inside the VC-50HD, causing malfunctions. 4. HDMI output connector Connect this to a monitor device that has an HDMI input, such as a television or computer display. 3. IEEE 1394 connector and indicator This connector inputs and outputs an HDV/ DV or other signal via IEEE 1394. Connect it to the IEEE 1394 (i. LINK) connector of your camera, deck, or computer. If input is present, the indicator will light in one of the following colors. POWER indicator This indicator will light when the VC-50HD is powered up. If this begins blinking, replace the batteries as soon as possible. 12 Names of things and what they do Side panel 1 2 3 4 1.
