Support for three cassette sizes

There are two sizes of DVCAM cassette: standard and mini. You can use either size with this unit.

The unit also accepts L and M sizes of DVCPRO cassette.

•The reel mechanism automatically adjusts to the size of cassette inserted.

•The capacity of a standard cassette is 184 minutes of recording/playback, and that of a mini cassette is 40 minutes.

Analog interfaces

A wide range of analog interfaces is provided, allowing this unit to be connected to various video and audio devices.

•Analog video: Composite, component and S-video interfaces are provided.

•Analog audio: There are four input channels and four output channels. There is also support for microphone input.

Variety of Interfaces

Digital interfaces

The unit can use the following digital interfaces.

• SDTI (QSDI)1)

This interface allows video, audio and time code signals in SDTI (QSDI) format to be transferred at normal speed between this unit and the ES-7 EditStation. When this unit is connected to another DVCAM VCR, it is possible to copy compressed signals between the two VCRs.

• SDI2)

This interface allows the unit to input or output D1 (component) digital video and audio signals.

• AES/EBU

This interface allows the unit to input or output digital audio signals in AES/EBU format.

•i.LINK (DV)3) (Optional DSBK-190 i.LINK/DV Input/Output Board)

When the unit is fitted with the optional DSBK-190 i.LINK/DV Input/Output Board using i.LINK technology, it can input and output digital video and audio signals in DV format.

Connection to external control devices

It is possible to connect a PVE-500, RM-450/450CE, FXE-100/100P/120/120P, BVE-900/910/2000/9000/ 9000P/9100/9100P or other editor equipped with an RS-422A interface, or a UVR-60/60P remote controller for the built-in digital video processor, and so forth.

Full Functionality for MoreEfficient Editing

This unit has a number of functions which assist in efficient and precise editing.

With two DSR-2000/2000P units together, you can carry out automatic or manual editing, using either assemble or insert editing.

The system also provides a powerful range of functions for setting and amending edit points, preview, review, and other aspects of efficient editing.

DMC (dynamic motion control) editing

You can save a varying speed, in the range −1 to +1 times normal speed, for an editing segment, and automatically edit with this varying speed.

Split editing

In insert editing, this allows the audio IN and OUT points to be set separately from the video IN and OUT points.
