Overview Chapter 1

Features

The DSR-DR1000/DR1000P is a digital videodisk recorder using the DVCAMTM digital recording format. It is the first professional DVCAM studio recorder to feature a hard disk as its recording media.

The DSR-DR1000/DR1000P supports the jog, shuttle, and variable playback modes found on conventional VTRs, together with jog sound. In addition, it supports many convenient functions possible only on a hard disk recorder, such as simultaneous recording and playback, random access, and interval recording.

This unit is equipped with an i.LINK* interface supporting the AV/C and SBP2 protocols, which allows it to transfer data at high speeds. It is also equipped with an Ethernet connector, allowing it to be connected to a LAN for transferring recorded data as files.

This unit can be used as a recorder in combination with video cameras and players, and incorporated in a conventional editing system as a professional feeder. Because it adds a variety of convenient hard disk functions to the functionality of a conventional VTR, it can significantly increase editing efficiency.

The following are the principal features of the unit.

to one-fifth size before being recorded to ensure stable and superb picture quality.

High-quality PCM digital audio

PCM recording makes for a wide dynamic range and a high signal-to-noise ratio, thereby enhancing sound quality.

There are two recording modes: 2-channel mode (48-kHz sampling and 16-bit quantization), which offers sound quality equivalent to the DAT (Digital Audio Tape) format, or 4-channel mode (32-kHz sampling and 12-bit quantization).

Supporting Variety of Input/Output Interfaces
Digital interfaces

The following optional digital interfaces can be used with the unit.

SDI (serial digital interface)/AES/EBU: It can input and output D1 (component) format digital video and audio signals and also AES/EBU-format digital audio signals.

i.LINK: DV format digital video and audio signals can be input and output. This unit supports the SBP2 protocol. Connecting an SBP2 compliant PC allows video and audio data to be transferred at high speeds.

DVCAM Format

DVCAM is a professional digital recording format developed by Sony from the consumer DV component digital format.

High picture quality and high stability

Video signals are separated into color difference signals and luminance signals, which are encoded and compressed

Analog interfaces

The unit can also use the following analog interfaces.

•Analog video: These interfaces include a component interface, composite interface, and S-video interface. The same BNC type input and output connectors are used to input and output signals in different formats selected with front panel buttons for input and menu items for output.

•Analog audio: The unit has two audio channels. When in 4-channel mode, you can input two channels of audio
