Employing Panasonic\u0027s advanced automatic time-lapse control circuit, the NV-8020 can record up to 48 hours on one 7\u0022 reel of video tape and play back in as little as 40 minutes. Recorders set for 24, 12 and 6 hour periods are also available, or the NV 8020 can be used as a regular VTR (similar to NV 8100) at 40 minute record and playback.
