TESThe high quality S-VHS format achieves ‘more than 400 lines of horizontal resolution and an enhanced SIN rato (compared with the VHS format by increasing the FM luminance signal frequency and bandwith, {and by processing the iuminance and ‘chrominance picture signals separately through an & Video In/Out connector The ‘AG-1960 allows playback of VHS tapes, $0 ‘exiting collections can be enjoyed on high performance &:VHS equipment. ‘SvHs) The Super-4Head Video System uses high-output, arrows gap heads to take full vantage of S-VHS picture qualty during recording and playback. Advanced picture- quality engineering (compared to convent Tonal VHS VCs) also shows up inthe (Chroma Stabilizer Circuit that improves Color SIN, the Chroma Aperture Circuit that reduces vertical color deviation, dual noise reduction circuitry (NR) fr an enhanced SIN ‘allo of the broad bandwidth luminance signal, high-grade linearity circuitry, individual VIC comb fiters, and a twin delay line vertical corelatox A twinprojection ‘ylides large-diameter impedance rol, 10. digtal servo, and other mechanisms limit jitter to the absolute minimum for ‘optimal image stabil Tho advanced High Response Mechanism Of the AG-1960 features a quick response time with special tape protection and high tape contol accuracy. Compared to \vadklonal VHS VCR, it cuts operating time \while enhancing comort and convenience forthe operator Based on extensive research Into video operating stops, the High-Response Mechanism uses a dual loading system that ‘combines conventional fukloading and hal loading systems 1) Switching response from a stopped positon 1 appearance ofa picture on the sereen has been cul from about 6 ‘seconds fo appreximately 2 seconds. ‘Switching response from Play to Review hhas been cut from 2 seconds to about "a second. Fast Forward and Rewind times for @ "20-minute tape have been cut in halt, from 5 to about 2 minutes. High-speed search in SLP mode has ‘been boosted from 11 mes (1%) normal speed to 21X. LP made searchis 13, times normal speed, and SP mode ‘Search 7 times normal speed ‘The Jog & Shuttle operations of the AG-1960 feature a remarkably smooth, quick response ‘tom Stl playback to high-speed search Thisis due tothe combination othe High: FRosponse Mechanism with the Super-+Head ‘Video System and Double Super Fine Siow ccapabily. The Jog Dial allows frame precise searching by advancing or reversing the tape ‘one frame with each 40° rotation, The Shuttle Fing varies playback—in forward or reverse Irom very slow speed to high-speed search, ‘The color level control of the AG-1960 lets you fine tune the level of the Video Out color ‘Signal. In action to compensating for color Contrast in te playback image, this adds realy tothe dagree of control avaiable ‘when using the AG-1960 as a source ‘machine for editing or dubbing “The AG-1960 features a superb HiFi stereo sound system with a dynamic range of more than 8008, The AG-1960 also uses an advanced high speed circuit for switching ‘between heads. In addition, a high-speed limiter circut, linear bandpass titer, ineariy ‘Aversion IG, anda structure that dampens Vibration and eliminates rasenance, combine to deliver mpeccable sound quality ‘The Synchro Esit Connector of the AG-1960 ‘enables hook-up to seleted Panasonic ‘camcorders (ike the AG-450) fr simple and precisely synchronized assemble eding. ‘The AG1960 allows audio duicbing on the Normal soundtrack, and includes front panel ‘AN input terminals and an Eait Switch for ‘convenience. The optional AG-AQE Eating Controller connects directly tothe Spin remote terminal ofthe AG: 1960 to give you Computerized editing precision using two \VORS, such as two AG- 1960s, or an. AG-1960 with anather compatible VCR, Te Auto Repeat function of the AG-1960, aulomatically and continuously repeats playback ofan entire tape, suppressing the Annoying noise on blank portions. Auto Repeat i eal fr unsupervised or contin uous presentation o! videos for demenstra: tions and product promotions, as well as for publi relations and other uses The Linear Time Counter of the AG-1960 tracks the hours, minutes and seconds of recording or playback that have elapsed, and doubles as a clock. Time Search makes it ‘easy to locale specific scenes, When a gven riumber of houts, minutes ard seconds ¢ input on the 10cigit Keypad of the Wireless emote Control, the unt advances or rewinds an amount of tape cortesponding tate time, and then begins playback ‘The advanced Digital Facking Adjustment ‘System othe AG-1960 helps assure optimal picture quaity trough use of a micraproces sor that automaticaly adjusts tracking to. minimize distortion. A lamp flashes to ina cate when tracking adjustment is underway, ‘and then is continually luminated when adjustment is complete Major operation modes are veriied onscreen as they are selected. Curent time, counter reading, o operation made can be displayed wit the press ofa button Timer programming information is also displayed to simplify Selup procedures. The VHS Index Search System uses index signals recorded on the tape for quick and precise searching. Scenes up to 99 index signals away can be accessed directly in FF or REW.
