NTSC/PAL recording and playback
Switch between NTSC or PAL as required. This makes it easy to work with internationally sourced material and transfer it to a non-linear system for editing. You can also record to Standard or Mini DV tape in either NTSC or PAL system. (Note: This VTR cannot be used as an NTSC/PAL converter. It can record and play back signals in both NTSC and PAL formats.

IEEE1394, Component, Y/C and composite input/output
The BR-DV6000U is equipped with an industry standard DV (Firewire) connection that allows recordings to be transferred to and from a wide variety of other digital systems, including popular non-linear editing systems. Dubbing can be performed with another DV deck or camcorder with no loss in audio or video fidelity.
In addition to DV input/output, this BR-DV6000 DV VTR is equipped with Y/C,composite and component input/outputs, allowing it to be used in combination with video sources of virtually any format. The DV6000 can serve as digital/anlog interface for legacy analog devices like an S-VHS or Betacam recorder.

DVCAMTM playback capability
DVCAMTM recordings can be played back directly on the BR-DV6000. This makes it easy to use DVCAMTM recordings as source material for editing.

RS-422 interface
The BR-DV6000 is equipped with an industry-standard RS-422 interface, allowing for connection to a wide range of external components.

JVC bus interface
Compatible with the RM-G800 remote controller for JVC's popular S-VHS Edit-Desk series, this interface allows analog signals to be transferred from this VTR to the S-VHS VCR for editing or dubbing.

Optional RS-232C interface (SA-K46U)
Use this interface to connect directly to a PC for computer-controlled operation.

Optional professional-standard XLR balanced audio boards
High-performance XLR balanced audio connectors are optionally available to ensure professional-standard audio reception and transmission quality. Either the input or output board can be used. Both boards cannot be used simultaneously.

Insert/assemble editing
The BR-DV6000 is equipped with basic editing functions such as audio/video insert and assemble editing. Video signals and/or audio signals (CH1 and CH2) can be assembled or inserted. A capstan bump function is also provided for frame editing with enhanced quality.

Audio dubbing (with 12-bit, 32 kHz audio)
Audio dubbing is available with any configuration and allows you to add a new soundtrack (such as narrative or music) to the CH3 and CH4 audio channels without affecting either the original video track or the existing 32 kHz CH1 and CH2 audio tracks.

Wireless/wired remote control
Connecting the optional RM-G30 controller to the REMOTE connector enables you to control BR-DV6000 operations from a distance. There's also a wireless remote control that provides control over field advance (1st/2nd), frame advance, menu display, audio reference level selection (-20 dB or -12 dB), color bar display and blank search, as well as in addition to basic operations.

Time Code ReGenerator, 20x high-speed search
The built-in time code generator provides preset (rec run) and regene time codes. In combination with the 20x search function (100x max. in the FF or REW mode), this provides super-fast access to any target point on the tape with visible pictures. With blank search, it's easy to cue up to a non-recorded portion of the tape.
