Description

Flagship of the Professional Timecode DAT range, the D-30 is the fully fledged post-production tool.

With all the features expected such as RS422, full chase lock, four-head confidence monitoring, jog/shuttle control & 8Mbit x 2 of RAM, it is ideally suited to the edit suite.

It is designed around a large, easy to read LCD display, similar in style to a VTR, giving instant access to the many functions as well as offering clear and full data display.

It includes a 37-pin for RMC-2 support.

The D-30's two RS422 allow it to seamlessly integrate into a video post environment.

Port A allows the D-30 to be controlled from external 9-pin devices whilst port B is configurable for send or receive RS422.

Original suggested retail price was 10,995 US Dollars
