Thanks to Axel for the pictures.
The LD-V4400
LaserDisc Player
For business, industry
and education, the LD-V4400 provides increased efficiency, added impact and
greater versatility. Rapid search speed, 1.0 sec. Average (CAV), brushless
motor, fully automatic disc loading, automatic lock-down, text overlay, external
sync and RS-232C interface to enable computer control provide unequaled power as
well as peak performance.
The archive site has a copy of the Operation Manual for the LD-V4400. Please see the manuals page.

LD-ROM
Compatibility
LD-ROM
(LaserDisc-Read Only Memory) is a new multimedia format combining the
outstanding benefits of LaserDisc and CD-ROM. An LD-ROM disc can carry
high-quality audio and video, as well as digital data (computer text and
graphics, digital audio, etc.) By eliminating the need for a separate data
storage medium such as CD-ROM, it greatly simplifies the use and storage of
exciting new multimedia programs. Previously, a separate LD-ROM adapter was
necessary. The LD-V4400, however, has space for inserting an LD-ROM board, so it
can be used as an LD-ROM drive -- a significant capability.
High-Speed
Search
The
LD-V4400 has a typical search speed of only one second from the innermost to
outermost portion of the disc. This is three times faster than the previous
model in this class. Although the difference between one and three seconds may
seem minor, it is, in fact, extremely significant when different locations must
be accessed many times. A fast search means more exciting and effective
applications for students, trainees, or professional operators.
External
Sync Lock
An
external composite sync signal can be imported through the Sync in port. The
player's video output is locked to this reference signal, allowing clean
switching with other video sources.
LaserBarcode
Compatible
This
system, already popular for educational programs in the U.S., is a simplified
means of remote control. Tracing the scanner across a barcode instantly
instructs the LD player to execute the playback commands encoded in that
barcode.
Digital
Audio Reproduction
The
LD-V4400 is capable of reproducing high-quality digital sound, equivalent to
that of a compact disc player. It has four audio channels (two digital, two
analog), offering a high degree of flexibility -- particularly in multilingual
operations. S/N ratio is an outstanding 102 dB with digital audio.
Two
Different Video Outputs
With
both BNC and RCA pin terminals, installation problems are minimized. Two
monitors can be connected (for use by a teacher and student, for example).
Text
Display
Twelve
lines of twenty characters, upper and lower case, can be displayed over still or
motion video. Many common European characters are also available.
RS-232C
Command Protocol
The
RS-232C interface allows connection to a wide variety of computers. In addition,
the RS-232C command protocol is compatible with the Pioneer LD-V4200 and
LD-V8000 models.
Multitrack
Jump
Any
specified number of tracks can be jumped; + 100 tracks can be accessed within
one field time (1/60th second), which means the picture changes instantaneously.
For larger numbers of tracks, this functions as relative address search.
MTBF
of 10,000 Hours
The
LD-V4400 is extremely durable. Its high MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) of
10,000 hours has been achieved through the use of a top-quality brushless
spindle motor. High durability is vital for business and educational
applications.
Hour
Meters
There
are two hour meters -- one records total power-on time and the other records
hour time since last reset. These meters are important for maintenance and
servicing. Unlike conventional meters, these are environment friendly; instead
of using mercury, they have the timer built into the software.
Design
Compatibility
The
LD-V4400 is fully compatible, using the same command language, with Pioneer
models of the same class sold in Europe, Australia, and Japan. This means
computer programs created in one country can be freely used in another. In
addition, the front panel design is similar to previous Pioneer models, so if
you're upgrading, you don't need to learn new key positions.
