Read full article here...

 

Synopsis: While not in the same league as its industrial PRV-LX1 cousin, Pioneer's PRV-9200 ($1,025) is a tremendously useful tool in its own right. Its relative simplicity is welcome and its large built-in hard drive, high-speed DVD recorder, and rudimentary editing abilities are well-suited for all manner of work including budget projects, videotape and camcorder conversions, broadcast capture, and banging out quick proofs-of-concept and prototypes.

For those seeking some simplicity in creating DVD projects, Pioneer has just the ticket with its new PRV-9200 professional DVD-Video recorder. Targeted at videographers, corporations, schools, conversion bureaus, and the like, the PRV-9200 offers a flexible way to create straightforward DVD-Video titles without the hassles, time, or expense involved in computer-attached DVD recording.

As a set-top device, the PRV-9200 incorporates (limited) DVD-Video encoding, authoring, and writing capabilities in a single box that attaches to a monitor or TV. Available connections include VHF/UHF I/O, S-Video, composite video, L/R analog audio I/O, component video out, optical digital audio out, and DV/IEEE-1394 I/O. Thus, possible input sources include everything from VCRs, camcorders (analog and DV), and other DVDs down to terrestrial TV and satellite broadcasts.

Setting the PRV-9200 apart from the average home unit is an integrated 160GB hard drive, high-speed 8X DVD-R/4X DVD-RW recorder (Double Layer and "+" discs are not supported), 3-prong detachable power cord, and its ability to work with NTSC and PAL signals (conversion between them isn't offered, and written discs can't contain different TV line systems).
