It can play back tapes recorded in PAL, SECAM, and NTSC 4.43 colour formats, making it versatile in multi-standard environments. Note that the VP-5040 plays NTSC 4.43 (a PAL-region conversion format) but does '''not''' support native NTSC 3.58 playback — it is not an NTSC-market machine. No separate NTSC version of the VP-5040 is known to have been produced. | ||
The VP-5040 offers 250-line horizontal resolution and features front-loading with logic-controlled transport. The pause function produces a still picture with an automatic long pause mechanism. Search is available at approximately 5 times normal speed in both forward and reverse directions. Video output is via BNC and a proprietary 8-pin TV connector. Audio output is provided through phono jacks for line-level audio and via the TV 8-pin connector. Optional accessories include a wired remote control and an RFK-660UB RF modulator adaptor. | |||
