Sony DSR2000A DVCAM Master Digital Videocassette Editing Recorder

DVCAM Master Series Digital Videocassette Editing Recorder. The DSR-2000A offers the addition of an integrated i.LINK® IEEE-1394 digital interface. This upgrade will extend i.LINK connectivity of Sony DVCAM storage solutions, providing professional video producers who use the DSR series compatibility with more DV I/O equipped cameras, VTRs and non-linear editing systems.

Highlights:

* i.LINK interface included as standard signal input/ouput
* XLR connectors for AUDIO IN & OUT of the DSR-2000A are reversed from the previous version
* Double-Scan Playback
* Pre-read Function
* 4-Channel Digital Audio Editing

Features:

i.LINK interface included as standard signal input/ouput: i.LINK interface includes audio unlock/lock function. When an unlocked audio signal in a DV recording (10 micron) is input via the i.LINK connector, this new A version Master Series VTR will automatically transform it to a locked audio signal which is defined as the standard of the DVCAM format for frame-accurate editing.

XLR connectors for AUDIO IN & OUT of the DSR-2000A are reversed from the previous version: Audio In = XLR Female Audio Out = XLR Male

The DVCAM Digital Component Recording Format: The DVCAM format is the professional extension of the consumer DV format. The DSR-2000A employs the DVCAM format which uses 8-bit digital component recording with 5:1 compression ratio and sampling at the rate of 4:1:1 to provide high picture quality and multi-generation performance.. In addition to its high picture quality, the DVCAM videocassette tapes are available in two sizes: mini and standard. With the standard size cassette, up to three hours of recording is possible.

Playback Compatibility with All DV (25 Mbps) Format: The DSR2000A is designed to support all DV (25Mbps) format recorded tapes, including DV tapes recorded in LP mode and DVCPRO tapes without an adapter.

Pre-Read Editing Capability: Thanks to newly developed digital processing, the DSR2000A incorporates a preread editing capability never before offered in a 6.35 mm (1/4 inch) VTR. This feature allows the editor to execute a picture transition with effects between two VTRs as well as audio mixing/audio channel swapping with frame accuracy. Moreover, when performing over dubbing of audio, the usual delay experienced at an editing point is eliminated.

DMC (Dynamic Motion Control): Equipped with Sony's Dynamic Motion Control Editor function, the DSR-2000A provides noiseless slow-motion playback within the range of -1 to +1 times normal speed.

Functionally Designed Operating Panel: Incorporating a front panel with a built-in Jog/Shuttle dial allows two-machine editing.

Excellent Editing Performance: Quick, mechanical response time is an essential requirement for professional editing. To achieve this, the DSR-2000A uses a direct reel and drum monitor mechanism. The DSR-2000A has the industry standard RS-422A Sony 9-pin remote control interface. This allows it to be easily integrated into conventional editing suites, thus creating a user-friendly, professional editing environment.

Versatile Interfaces: All conventional analog interfaces for video, audio and time code are supported by the DSR-2000A. In addition, it has digital interfaces such as the SDI, SDTI(QSDI™), AES/EBU, i.LINK (DV In/Out), and SDTI (MPEG Out) as standards.

4-Channel Audio Editing: The DSR-2000A is capable of 4-Channel independent audio editing.
