The 'J3 Viewing Bay' trolley
The 'J3 Viewing Bay' trolley
With the release of the J-range of machines from SONY and in particular the J-3, valuable desk space everywhere has been set free.
It has even allowed us at Visual Impact to provide Digibeta play back from a viewing trolley which hasn’t used a combination of RSJ’s and tractor wheels.
The The Visual Impact Viewing trolley also known as ‘Steve’s dalek’ comprises of four units, the SONY J-3, VHS, 14” professional monitor and a set of headphones.
The trolley, 3 of which are currently in use at MTV Europe, are pre-wire so VHS Bitc’s copies can be made, no dangling cables and a single mains plug powers all the units, the trolley can also be wheeled from desk to desk as simply as it could be left in a dedicated area.

Low cost player for office viewing and feeding to non-linear edit systems.
The SONY J-3/SDI uses new design and construction techniques to produce a cost effective tape player.

The SONY J-3/SDI is about the size of a telephone directory. It can fit on the desks of busy producers, journalists and editors. It operates equally well used horizontally or standing upright using the supplied vertical stand.
Feeder for non-linear editing systems and video servers.
RS-232 and RS-422 remote control and SDI output are provided for use with logging and non-linear editing systems. However, please note that the remote control accuracy and tape transport response has not been designed for use within linear editing systems, or for "on-air" use.

The SONY J-3/SDI can playback tapes recorded either in 625 or 525 line standards. Signal output is the same line standard as the tape (i.e. no standards conversion is performed).
