Features

Field recording/field playback
Since this VCR uses the EP mode to record the picture
in shorter intervals, you can record more information
than the normal time lapse VCR.
Example: In 24H recording mode using T-160 tape:
This VCR can record about 20 fields per second, while
the normal time lapse VCR records 5 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. You can also record
by an external signal input.
• 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 224 hours with one 160-minute
tape.
RS-232C/RS-485 interface
By installing an optional SVT-RS100 Computer
Interface Board, you can control this VCR from a
personal computer or a controller via an RS-232C or
RS-485 interface.
Recording the alarm data at the top of the tape
You can set to record up to 100 alarm data (count, date
and time) on the beginning of the tape. These data can
be displayed on the monitor screen.

VIDEO LOSS detection
If an input signal is interrupted while recording or
recording pause, the VCR will give a warning on the
display window of the monitor.
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 (hour and minute up to every 10
minutes), 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.
Real time display
The real time can be displayed even in time lapse
mode.
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.
Checking the tape threading
To ensure correct operation, the VCR automatically
checks the tape threading whenever you insert a tape.
