Pionneer PRVLX1DD Dual Drive Professional DVD Recorder (PRVLX1, PRV-LX1, PRVLX1-DD, PRVLX1DD, PRVLX1-2)

Among the key features of the PRV-LX1 is its real-time video recording capabilities, which streamlines the DVD video capture, compression, authoring and recording processes while operating with the simplicity of a VTR. Users now have an alternative to high end PC-based DVD authoring systems because the PRV-LX1 is designed to easily transfer video and audio content to DVD while offering the ability to customize DVD menus and chapter points - a first for a standalone video recorder. Video and audio content can be recorded from multiple sources direct to DVD or to the PRV-LX1's internal hard disk drive. The PRV-LX1 also allows users to simultaneously record to both the internal hard disk drive and to DVD.

Building on the success of the PRV-9000 DVD-Video recorder launched at NAB 2002, the PRV-LX1 is a stand-alone unit with a significantly expanded feature set targeted at professional video users. A base PRV-LX1 is equipped with a standard DVD-R/RW recordable drive and 120GB internal hard disk drive. An optional second DVD-R/RW drive can be installed in the unit, which allows simultaneous recording to two DVD discs at once. Video inputs and outputs are component video (Y, Pb, Pr), composite, S-video and DV (IEEE-1394). Audio inputs and outputs include 2 channel balanced (XLR), 2 channel unbalanced (RCA), and coaxial digital audio output (for playback through external Dolby Digital decoders). Other interfaces and connections in the PRV-LX1 include a RS-422A control interface, Ethernet, VGA output, USB2, external sync, and a headphone jack with volume control. Pioneer will offer its customers the option of adding a serial digital (SDI)/AES EBU input/output board set in the fourth quarter of 2003.

To help future-proof the PRV-LX1, the unit employs a Linux-based operating system. This new architecture provides the potential to extend the capabilities of the recorder in response to the evolving needs of professional video customers and industry trends.
