Features
The DSR-2000A/2000AP is a 1/4-inch digital videocassette recorder using the DVCAMTM digital recording format. It uses a component video system, with separate luminance and chrominance signals and digital processing to enable stable, high-quality video. This unit is equipped with a variety of functions needed for videocassette recorders and players used in video editing. By combining two units, you can easily assemble a cut editing system. It is also equipped with a wide range of digital and analog interfaces, to support a variety of different editing systems, including conventional analog systems and mixed digital and analog systems.
Furthermore, it is equipped with an i.LINK interface as standard equipment, making it easy to connect to nonlinear DV editing systems.
The following are the principal features of the unit.
DVCAM FormatDVCAM is a professional 1/4-inch digital recording format developed by Sony from the consumer DV component digital format (4:1:1 for DSR-2000A/4:2:0 for DSR-2000AP).
High image quality and high stability
The luminance and chrominance signals are encoded separately, with 1/5 compression to enable stable, high- quality video.
Since this is a digital system, nth-generation copies created by repeated dubbing show virtually no loss in picture quality.
Wide track
The recording track width is 15 µm, 50% wider than the 10 µm of the DV format. This ensures adequate reliability for professional use.
PCM digital audio for high sound quality
The PCM encoding method yields a high audio quality, with wide dynamic range and high signal-to- noise ratio.
There are two recording modes: two-channel mode (48-kHz sampling and 16-bit quantization), which offers sound quality equivalent to the DAT (Digital Audio Tape) format, or four-channel (32-kHz sampling and 12-bit quantization).
