SONY UNVEILS SECURITY TIME-LAPSE VCRs WITH REALACTION RECORDING TECHNOLOGY
LAS VEGAS (ISC Expo/West Booth # 4102), March 5 - Sony Electronics today introduced two professional time-lapse video recorders. The SVT-RA40 and SVT-RA168 recorders feature Sony's RealActionO recording technology, which allows them to record 20 fields per second in a 24 - hour recording mode, or four times as much visual information as conventional time-lapse recorders. This technology virtually eliminates- the lag time between frames.
"We developed these recorders to be used in places like convenience stores, corporate buildings, parking lots and airports, where CCTV recordings and archiving applications need to be reliable and of high quality," said Jim Sandy, vice president for security and visual imaging products at Sony Electronics' Broadcast and Professional Company. "Now there is a highly efficient standard VHS format recording solution available for the security industry."
Both new recorders utilize Automatic Picture Control (APC), a function that automatically monitors the condition of the recording head and videocassette tape, and then sets the optimum recording head current. They also offer time and date search accuracy in convenient ten-minute increments. The recorders include a Video Signal Loss Alarm, which displays a Video Loss message on the monitor whenever input signals are lost (i.e., if the video cable is cut, or the camera signal otherwise lost). Additionally, the SVT-RA40 and SVT-RA168 recorders have recording times of 40 and 168 hours per tape, respectively.
Other features that augment dependability and ease of operation include:
* Automatic Alarm Recording, which automatically switches the recorder to Alarm Recording mode whenever an alarm signal is received, even if the camera is in Stop or Power-off mode;
* Fail-Safe Alarm Log, which records up to 100 alarms, including time and date of occurrence, and saves them for review even if the tape is ejected;
* Rapid Fast Forward and Shorter Rewind, which can move through a T-160 tape in just 100 seconds;
* Record Out Signal, which interfaces with other external devices; and
* Real Time Counter/Display, which shows actual operating time in minutes and seconds.
Sony's new SVT-RA40 and SVT-RA168 time-lapse recorders will be available in May for suggested list prices of $595 and $795, respectively.
