..................................................................................................

015

• Do not force the unit’s power-supply cord

to share an outlet with an unreasonable

number of other devices. Be especially

careful when using extension cords—the

total power used by all devices you have

connected to the extension cord’s outlet

must never exceed the power rating (watts/

amperes) for the extension cord. Excessive

loads can cause the insulation on the cord to

heat up and eventually melt through.

..................................................................................................

016

• Before using the unit in a foreign country,

Main Features

Provides a resolution of 10 bits for video decoding and encoding, and 24 bits for audio AD/

DA conversion. It also has a Locked Audio function, which prevents video and audio from

drifting out of synchronization. (p. 11)

* The Locked Audio function is available only for analog input.

Differences in camera settings, type, shooting conditions, and shooting technique can

produce inconsistencies in the hue and brightness of a video image. Also, analog video that

was captured some time ago can often be lacking in vividness of color. When dubbing from

analog to analog or from analog to DV or DVD, it is very effective to use the VMC-1’s image

correction functionality (brightness, intensity, hue, contrast) to minimize such

inconsistencies in the image and improve the overall quality. You can use the knobs to make

these adjustments in real time while watching the video. (p. 9)

* Available only for analog input.

TBC is a function that cleans up the video image by eliminating the “jitter” (horizontal

shaking) caused by inaccuracies in head or tape rotation during analog videotape playback,

or due to degradation of the analog video signal. This function is very useful if you are

digitizing the video tape library you have collected over the years. You can also apply delay

to the audio to correct any timing discrepancies between the video and audio that might be

caused by the TBC. You can use a front panel button to switch this function on/off. (p. 8)

* Available only for analog input.

This function determines whether the image is moving or stationary, and if stationary,

compares the same scan lines of the preceding and following frames to separate the

brightness and color signals with high precision. This allows smearing to be reduced,

minimizing unwanted noise or blurring. You can use a front panel button to switch this

function on/off. (p. 9)

* Available only for composite input in NTSC mode.

VMC-1(A5)_e.book 6 ページ２００５年１１月１４日　月曜日　午後２時５１分

Main Features

This function corrects inaccuracies in the timing of the video signal. Due to the mechanical

characteristics of consumer analog video decks, the preceding or following frame can

sometimes be output “out of step.” The Frame Synchronizer corrects slight inaccuracies of

the synchronization signal to prevent frame dropouts and audio dropouts. (p. 8)

* This will automatically turn on only when you use analog input.

The image from a consumer analog video camera or dubbed video tape sometimes does not

have the optimal brightness. If such an image is digitized, over-exposed whites or under-

exposed blacks may occur. AGC corrects these problems by automatically optimizing the

brightness of the analog video. You can use a front panel button to switch this function on/

off. (p. 9)

* Available only for analog input.

* Correction is not possible if the input video already has over-exposed whites or under-exposed blacks.

* You cannot convert from NTSC to PAL or vice versa.

* 16:9 screen mode is not supported.

Each set provides an S-video jack and a composite video jack, and they are capable of

providing simultaneous output. Analog input -> analog output is also supported, allowing

conversion between S-video connector <-> video jack (composite).

Frame Synchronizer Prevents Frame Dropouts and Audio

Dropouts

AGC Function Corrects Over-Exposed Whites or Under-

Exposed Blacks

Names of Things and What They Do

1. DV connector 2 [DV2 IN/OUT]

Connect your DV device or computer here.

* You cannot use this simultaneously with the DV connector 1 on the VMC-1’s rear panel (p. 10). If

you attempt to use both simultaneously, your DV device may not function correctly.

2. DV input button [DV IN]

Turn this on if you want the video and audio signals from your DV device to be sent from

the analog output.

3. Analog input button [ANALOG IN]

Turn this on if you want the video and audio signals from the analog input to be sent from

the analog output.

4. Frame synchronizer indicator [FRAME SYNC]

This indicator will light when an analog video signal is input. The frame synchronizer

corrects synchronization inaccuracies caused by an unstable video signal, preventing lost

frames and audio dropouts.

5. Time base corrector button [TBC]

This corrects the image jitter that often occurs when an analog video deck is playing back.

Normally, you should leave this on. If this is on, the video and audio signals will be output

with a delay compared to the input signal, in order to allow for this processing to be

performed. If this delay is a problem, you can turn this function off.

Names of Things and What They Do

6. Three-D Y/C separation button [3D Y/C]

This is available only in NTSC mode (p. 11). This will reduce certain problems that may

occur when a composite signal is being input, such as fine diagonal black and white stripes

producing a rainbow-like effect (cross color) or the appearance of small white and black dots

outlined in black (dot interference), and will clean up the signal by reducing color smearing.

Normally, you should leave this on. If there is a great deal of movement in the image, this

may cause blurring. If so, turn this off. If this is off, 2-D Y/C separation is applied.

* In PAL mode 2-D Y/C separation is always applied, so this button will be disabled.

7. Automatic brightness adjustment button [AGC]

This corrects the over-exposed whites or under-exposed blacks that can occur if the

brightness of the image is not appropriate. Normally, you should leave this on.

* Correction is not possible if the input video already has over-exposed whites or under-exposed blacks.

8. Audio level indicator

The green indicator will light when an analog audio signal is input. The red indicator will

light if the input level is excessive. Lower the audio input level until the red indicator does

not light.

9. Power button [POWER]

10. Brightness knob [BRIGHT]

Turn this knob toward the right to brighten the image, or toward the left to darken the

image.

11. Color depth knob [COLOR]

Turn this knob toward the right to deepen the color, or toward the left to lighten the color.

12. Color hue knob [HUE]

Turn this knob toward the right to give the image a more greenish hue, or toward the left to

give it a more purple hue.

13. Contrast knob [CONTRAST]

Turn this knob toward the right to make the contrast stronger, or toward the left to decrease

it.

14. Audio input level knob [AUDIO LEVEL]

Turn this knob toward the right to increase the audio input level.

* When a DV signal is input, buttons/knobs/indicators 4.–8. and 10.–14. are disabled. These functions

apply only to analog input signals.

* When a DV signal is input, the indicators of each button and the illumination around the knobs will

go out.

Description

6. Bouton de séparation Y/C trois D [3D Y/C]

Disponible uniquement en mode NTSC (p. 19). Réduit une série de problèmes pouvant se

présenter lorsqu’un signal composite arrive en entrée, par exemple de fines rayures diago-

nales en noir et blanc produisant un effet d’arc-en-ciel (battement couleur) ou l’apparition de

petits points noirs et blancs entourés de noir (interférence ponctuelle), et nettoie le signal en

réduisant la bavure des couleurs. En principe, cette option reste activée. Si l’image comporte

beaucoup de mouvement, elle peut apparaître floue. Dans ce cas, désactiver la fonction ; la

séparation Y/C 2-D est alors appliquée.

* En mode PAL, la séparation Y/C 2-D est toujours appliquée ; ce bouton n’a donc aucun effet.

7. Bouton d’ajustage automatique de la luminosité [AGC]

noires.

8. Indicateur de niveau audio

Le témoin vert s’allume lorsqu’un signal audio analogique arrive en entrée. Le témoin rouge

s’allume si le niveau d’entrée est excessif. Réduire le niveau d’entrée audio jusqu’à extinction

du témoin rouge.

Nomi delle cose e loro funzioni

1. Connettore DV 2 [DV2 IN/OUT]

Connettere il vostro apparecchio Dv o computer qui.

* Non è possibile usarlo contemporaneamente con il connettore DV 1 ed il pannello posteriore del VMC-

1. (p. 22). Se vengono usati contemporaneamente, è possibile che il vostro apparecchio DV non

funzioni correttamente.

2. Pulsante d’ingresso del DV [DV IN]

Accendere se desiderate che i segnali video e audio del vostro apparecchio DV vengano

inviati dall’uscita analogica.

3. Pulsante d’ingresso analogico [ANALOG IN]

Accendere se desiderate che i segnali video e audio dell’ingresso analogico vengano inviati

dall’uscita analogica.

4. Indicatore del sincronizzatore dell’immagine [FRAME SYNC]

Questo indicatore si accende quando viene immesso un segnale video analogico. Il

sincronizzatore dell’immagine corregge tutte le imprecisioni della sincronizzazione causate

da un segnale video instabile, evitando in questo modo la perdita d’immagine e la caduta del

suono.

5. Pulsante del correttore del tempo base [TBC]

Serve a correggere l’instabilità dell’immagine che spesso si verifica quando un apparecchio

video analogico sta riproducendo. Di norma occorre tenere accesa questa funzione. Se viene

accesa, i segnali video e audio verranno emessi con un certo ritardo rispetto al segnale

d’ingresso e ciò per consentire lo svolgimento dell’operazione. Se il ritardo rappresenta un

problema, è possibile spegnere questa funzione.

6. Pulsante di separazione 3-D Y/C [3D Y/C]

È disponibile solo con la modalità NTSC (p. 23). Riduce alcuni problemi che si possono

verificare quando viene emesso un segnale composito, come per esempio sottili linee

diagonali bianche e nere che producono un effetto arcobaleno (colore trasversale) o che

causano l’apparizione di punti bianchi e neri (interferenza di punti) e depura il segnale
