Since their
introduction in 2001, Sony J Series Compact Players (consisting of the J-1,
J-2, and J-3 models), have been accepted by producers, journalists, and
production staff around the world as ideal desktop 1/2" standard-definition
compact players. Their sophisticated features, offered within an affordable
price range, have opened new opportunities in material viewing, logging, and
source feeding to servers or nonlinear editing systems.
Retaining the same
design concept, affordability, and fundamental features, Sony has
revitalized the J Series by enhancing its interfacing capabilities. The new
J Series Compact Players - comprising four models, the J-10, J-10SDI, J-30,
and J-30SDI - now come equipped with an i.LINKTM
* interface as
standard, opening the door to the DV world for BetacamTM
users.
Despite their
compactness and affordability, the new J Series will surely become one of
the most powerful production assets today, and into the future.
