An affordable tape logging system with JZ-1 software
The combined use of a J series player and JZ-1
Videocassette Logging Software creates an affordable tape
logging system available to all playback-compatible VTR
formats. This is achieved by connecting a J series player
to a PC* running JZ- 1 software via an RS-232C cable.
This 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 addition, a storyboard function
is available to assemble a sequence of logged scenes
into a simple EDL prior to data export. Log lists can be
exported in a variety of formats including the AVID
Log Exchange digitizing format for Avid Newscutter,
the Sony BVE-9100 format for linear/non-linear editing
systems, the XML format for Sony NewsBase™ server
systems, and the HTML format for web browsing.
Tele-File™ 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 IC
memory embedded in a 1/2-inch cassette label.
Connecting a PC running JZ-1 Videocassette Logging
Software to a J series VTR allows information to
be read from and written to a Tele-File label (option:
MLB-1M-100) via GUI-based operations.
Shot Mark handling
The J series VTRs can scan tapes with Shot Marks and
automatically detect their positions. After scanning, a
list of all marks can be displayed on a video monitor,
allowing easy cueing to any mark.
Source feeding to server/NLE by
simple remote control via RS-422A
Equipped with the industry standard RS-422A Sony 9-pin
remote control interface, J series Compact Players can
be used not only for viewing and logging but also for
feeding source material to servers and nonlinear editors.
* J series Compact Players can not be used as editing players in
conventional linear editing applications.
Choice of analog component
output or SDI output
You have a choice of output board with a J series
Compact Player. Two types are available, the BKJ-1
Analog Component Output Board and the BKJ-2 SDI
Output Board. Both boards also have analog composite
video, S-video and analog audio outputs. This choice
of output board gives you either an analog component
output or an SDI output, plus the common outputs.
*An appropriate video capture card must be installed in the PC.
