Ideal Personal-Use Compact Players
The design concept of the J series
Compact Players was for affordable,
compact office viewers to be used by
producers, journalists and production staff.
The result is three models that are ideal
for personal, desktop use. At the same
time, they have all the features required
for viewing, logging and source feeding
to servers or nonlinear editing systems.
All J series Compact Players can playback
Betacam SX™, Betacam SP™ and
Betacam™ tapes. In addition to this ability
to playback analogue Betacam formats,
the J-2 Compact Player can playback
MPEG IMX™ tapes while the J-3 model
adds both MPEG IMX and Digital
Betacam™ tape playback. All models
have a Jog/Shuttle dial, 525/625 playback,
simple remote control capability via
RS-422A and audio meters – they can
even replay L-size cassettes.

Compact body design
J series Compact Players
are extremely compact.
They are just 307 x 100 x 397 mm
(12 1⁄8 x 4 x 15 3⁄4 inches) in size
and weigh only 7 kg (15 lb 7 oz).

They operate equally well used horizontally
or standing upright on either end using the
supplied vertical stand.

Main features
Replay of both Small and Large
cassettes
Despite their very compact body size, J series
Compact Players can play Large as well as Small
size cassettes.

525/625 versatility
J series Compact Players are easily switched between
525/60 and 625/50 playback modes. This enables
them to work in international environments.

Betacam, Betacam SP, Betacam SX, MPEG IMX and Digital Betacam
tape playback capability
All J series Compact Players have the capability to
play back Betacam SX, Betacam SP and Betacam
tape recordings. The J-2 Compact Player has the
added capability of MPEG IMX tape playback.
The J-3 Compact Player adds the playback capability
of both MPEG IMX and Digital Betacam recordings.

J-1 ➞
J-2 ➞
J-3 ➞

During cassette loading, each format is automatically
identified for playback, so no menu settings or
switching is necessary. (During Betacam SP playback, the
AFM audio tracks are not replayed, and video performance is equivalent to UVW Betacam quality).

Source feeding to server/NLE
by simple remote control via RS-422A

Choice of analogue component
output or SDI output

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.

There is a choice of outputs with the J-Series Compact
Players - the J-1/A, J-2/A and J-3/A have an analogue
component video output. The J-1/SDI, J-2/SDI and
J-3/SDI have an SDI output. Both versions also have
analogue composite video, S-video and analogue
audio outputs. This choice of player provides either an
analogue component video output or an SDI output,
plus the common outputs.

Note: J series Compact Players can not be used as editing
players in conventional linear editing applications, or
for on-air playout of material.

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.
Note: An appropriate video capture card must be installed in the PC.

Tele-File™ system

Shot Mark handling

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.

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.
