NTSC and PAL Compatibility

RS-422 Interface
Though the BR-DV3000U cannot be used as a recorder in a linear environment, the deck is equipped with the RS-422 connector. DV source material can be transferred to a variety of formats for editing. Linear editors will use the machine as a player/feeder in such circumstances.
DVCAM Playback

Continuous Recording Feature
When a camcorder is connected to the BR-DV3000U via the DV connector, the deck will start recording 5 minutes before the camera's tape runs out. This enable continuous recording shooting for extended periods with no breaks in the recording.
Remote Control Options
The BR-DV3000U comes with a wireless remote control unit with comprehensive menus setting features. For completely reliable basic operations the deck accepts a wired remote controller, the RM-G30U, that provides all play, record, forward and reverse controls.
