Chapter 1 Overview
The DSR-1/1P is a dockable VCR that uses the
DVCAM™ digital recording format.
The DSR-1/1P can be combined with a DXC-D30/
D30P/D35/D35P digital video camera or a DXC-637/
537A/327B series analog video camera. When docked
with the DXC-D30/D30P/D35/D35P, the DSR-1/1P
functions as a DVCAM digital camcorder.
New Functions as High-
Performance Digital Recording
VCR
The DSR-1/1P uses the DVCAM recording format.
The internal signal processing is digitalized to provide
more stable output signals and higher reliability.
Compatible with consumer DV
A DV cassette recorded on a DV-format VCR can be
played back on the DSR-1/1P. (Cassettes recorded in
LP mode cannot be played back.)
DVCAM cassettes
The DSR-1/1P can use both standard-size and mini-
size DVCAM cassettes. According to cassette size, the
DSR-1/1P automatically correct reel position.
The maximum recording/playback times are 184
minutes for standard size cassettes and 40 minutes for
mini cassettes.
DVCAM cassettes include a cassette memory.
Information about the editing points (ClipLink™ log
data) that is specified while shooting is recorded into
this cassette memory.
ClipLink™ function
The ClipLink function links all stages from shooting to
editing. Once editing points have been set with this
function during shooting, they can be used to boost the
efficiency of editing work.
Creation of clips
Using the ClipLink function, the camera operator can
create clips to be used during editing.
The images captured at the Mark IN points are
recorded in a compressed format onto the tape as
“Index Pictures”. In addition, editing point-related data
(scene number, time code for Mark IN/OUT points,
etc.) is recorded in the cassette memory.
ClipLink mode
To use the ClipLink function, select the menu setting
to set the DSR-1/1P into ClipLink mode. There is also
a ClipLink continue function that enables clips to be
continued even after a break in recording.
PCM digital audio
Recording/playback can be set to audio lock mode.
Selectable between two-channel recording (with a
sampling frequency of 48 kHz) mode or four-channel
recording (with a sampling frequency of 32 kHz) mode
(channels 1 and 2 only).
Equipped with audio output connectors
During recording or playback, audio output can be
monitored via a built-in speaker, a connected earphone
or via (two-channel) audio output connectors.
Color playback
Connect an external video monitor for color playback
(playback adaptor not required). The DSR-1/1P is
equipped with two video monitor connectors: one for
composite video output and the other for S-video
output.
