Technology, quality and price are the three diamonds you get when you purchase a Mitsubishi time-lapse recorder. The HS-1280U introduces a new deck with the needed features at a competitive price. Included with the HS-1280U model is good picture quality, digital control of the servo circuit for precise tape control, acrylic light guides that reduce hardware components, and re-designed cassette guides for increased reliability. Also standard is the jog/shuttle, for ease of use in programming, and in playback, a selectable three language on screen menu, and a universal power supply. The three diamonds make Mitsubishi time-lapse recorders the overwhelming choice for security applications.
