The VTS-5000 is a
high performance, yet affordable, single VTR/DDR controller that is
optimized for instant replay applications. Ten function keys can be set
by the user either to recall significant cue points or to playback at
predefined speeds. Many user adjustable features allow optimization for
various applications and user preferences, all of which can be stored in
any of ten available personality registers. A pick up record feature
gets right back into record where recording left off as soon as a replay
is finished.
The VTS-5000 is a great slo-mo controller by itself, but add The
Slide, and you've got an affordable system that is unsurpassed. The
Slide uses a top quality Penny & Giles motorized fader for speed
control that gives tactile feedback you have to feel to believe. The
knob jogs tape even when in still modes, so you can go between scanning
tape and jogging frame by frame without hitting any buttons. Users can
adjust still and play speed breakpoints, enable detented speed steps,
enable reverse and/or faster-than-play replay speed control, adjust top
shuttle speeds, and much more. The Slide moves into the correct position
when tape is moved by keystrokes such as stop, play, or slo-mo presets,
so subsequent speed adjustment is always enabled.
Powerful features are included for film production video assist
applications. The VTS-5000 controls record and playback on film shoots
where low or high speed frame rates are used. Playback speed is set and
displayed in terms of film shoot speed, allowing accurate simulation of
projection timing of scenes.
