Goodwin Production Services now offers the AJ-HD1200A deck in it's arsenal. The 1200A is an AC/DC powered, multi-purpose player/recorder that offers an IEEE 1394 [Firewire] interface, HD-SDI, SD-SDI, and SD composite video outputs. This means it is now easier to ingest videotape footage directly into your hard drive. The VTR plays all DVCPRO HD, HD-LP, DVCPRO P, DVCPRO50 as well as standard definition DVCPRO formats (NTSC an PAL), DV and DVCAM tapes and can record up to 92 minutes of HD footage on a single tape.
With the 1200As built-in HD/SD converter, it can downconvert video from a pre-recorded HD tape to SD and then output the footage as SD composite video or SDI, making for easy viewing of HD images on a SD NTSC monitor. The deck also incorporates an HD format converter that allows conversion on playback between 1080i and 720p output in either direction.
