Features

Field recording/field playback
Since this VCR records the picture in the EP mode
which records the picture in shorter interval, you can
record more information than the normal time lapse
VCR.
Example: In 168H recording mode using T-120 tape:
This VCR can record about 2.1 fields per seconds,
while the normal time lapse VCR records 0.7 fields.
Because single fields can be recorded one by one in
time lapse mode and all fields can be viewed
separately during playback, you can record more
information.
Various recording functions
• Repeat recording: When the tape reaches the end,
the VCR rewinds the tape and starts recording again
from the beginning of the tape.
• Timer recording: You can set the timer on daily
recording or weekly recording.
• Alarm recording: If an externally connected alarm
sensor is triggered, you can make a complete
recording of the situation that triggered the alarm.
Mode settings on monitor
You can set the modes for all functions, such as the
internal timer setting, the alarm recording mode
settings, etc. on the monitor.
Series recording function
This function permits long-term continuous recording
using two or more time lapse VCRs.
Multiple recording modes
The time lapse intervals for recording can be set in 7
steps. At the longest interval setting, available
recording time is a full 168 hours with one 120-minute
tape.
Used time indicator
This VCR has a built-in microprocessor equipped with
a calendar function and shows used time of head drum
and power on time on the monitor screen.
Clog detection
The VCR always checks that the video signal is
recorded without problem (in time lapse mode only).
If the recording cannot be made properly because the
recording head has become clogged, the VCR will give
a warning.
Time and date retrieval function
Because this unit uses a high-performance VASS,
recordings made in time lapse mode can be searched
by date and time, a valuable type of search function in
time lapse VCRs.
Forward/reverse field advance
This VCR offers improved search functions with the
ability to move both forwards and backwards between
fields.
Clock operation backup
When a power interruption occurs, the built-in
rechargeable battery will provide backup power for the
clock for up to 30 days.
Essential data, such as data setting, internal timer
settings, recording time, and mode settings, and alarm
recording mode settings are also retained.
Security lock
To guard against operation errors, this VCR locks all
of the buttons.
Monitoring the recording condition
You can check the recorded image during recording by
pressing a single button.
RS-232C interface
By installing an optional SVT-RS1A Computer
Interface Board, you can control this VCR from a
personal computer via RS-232C interface.
