Panasonic AG-DV2500 DV Proline VTR - Digital VCR - NTSC / PAL

The AG-DV2500 records and plays both standard DV and Mini-DV cassettes in SP mode, and plays both large and small DVCAM tape cassettes. It can record for up to 276 minutes on a standard DV cassette (AY-DV276MQ).

The AG-DV2500 is equipped with an IEEE1394-compliant 4-pin DV terminal. This makes a host of operations possible, including synchronized recording with a DV camera-recorder, digital dubbing with a DV recorder, uploading to the PC in a nonlinear editing system, and downloading after editing.

The AG-DV2500 is equipped with a 9-Pin RS-422A interface. This lets you operate the AG-DV2500 using an RS-422A remote controller such as our AJ-A95 or an editing controller such as our AG-A850. *The AG-DV2500 has no editing functions. Use it as the source machine in an editing system.

Two audio modes are provided: 2-channel (16-bit, 48-kHz sampling) and 4-channel (12-bit, 32-kHz sampling). In 4-channel mode, open channels can be used later to dub in narration or other audio.

The AG-DV2500 automatically detects and plays DV footage recorded in NTSC or PAL, making it easy to upload footage to a nonlinear editing system. The AG-DV2500 can also record in either NTSC or PAL mode; simply set the switch on the rear panel to the mode desired. Recording onto standard DV and Mini-DV cassettes is possible in both formats. *Cannot be used as an NTSC/PAL format converter. *NTSC and PAL signals cannot both be input at the same time.

The AG-DV2500 is equipped with a multifunctional wireless remote control. In addition to controlling basic operations, the remote can be used to display menus, show the color bar, select audio output, search for blank sections of the tape, and perform other functions.

The AG-DV2500 can search at up to 9x normal speed for quick time-code cueing. Jog & shuttle searches are also possible using the optional 9-pin AJ-A95 Remote Controller.

The AG-DV2500 comes equipped with a time code reader and generator. The AG-DV2500 can quickly locate index signals recorded onto the tape and blank sections of tape.
