1) Bin unit
Each bin unit provides shelves (bins) for holding
cassettes. One unit has four shelves for D-2
cassettes, seven shelves for DVCAM cassettes, and
five shelves for all other cassette types. Each bin is
four units high.
The system's major features are as follows:
VTR formats and numbers
The Flexicart allows you to select from D-2, Betacam SP, S-VHS, and
DVCAM formats. It can simultaneously store different VTRs as long as
their formats are the same. It also allows you to install between one and
six VTRs into one cart. However, because of their size, only three DVR-
28/18 series (D-2 format) VTRs can be installed.
Cassette sizes
The Flexicart can handle the following video cassettes using each type of
bin units 1) .
• D-2 format: L, M, S sizes (BKFC-8D)
• Betacam SP format: L, S sizes (BKFC-10B)
• S-VHS format: standard size (BKFC-10S)
• DVCAM format: standard size (BKFC-21DV)
