Simultaneous recording and playback

While recording input signals to the hard disk, this unit is capable of simultaneous normal speed or slow-motion* playback of any materials already recorded on the hard disk.** During recording, cue points can be set at any point from the control panel or from the supplied RM-LG2 Remote Control Unit, and the unit can go back to play the material from the cue points. This makes it possible for this unit alone to provide slow-motion playback of highlight scenes and other kinds of replay required in broadcasts of sporting and live events.

*Slow-motion playback during recording is possible over the range (normal speed.

**Playback of the clip currently being recorded is not possible during continuous recording.

Program playback (clip segment playback)

You can extract scenes (up to 100 scenes) anywhere in the materials on the hard disk to create playlists. This unit follows the playlist to play the materials automatically, allowing you to play sequences with this unit alone. You can check and modify the lists on the monitor.

Multi-simultaneous playback (9-pin (PARA) function)

Via the two RS-422A connectors, multiple DSR-DR1000/ DR1000P units can be connected in a cascade connection, for simultaneous playback without delay. This is convenient in situations such as output to multiple monitors. To perform multi-simultaneous playback, you need to set the REMOTE I/F menu item (see page 72) to 9PIN(PARA).

Other Features

Support for two i.LINK protocols

This unit supports the AV/C protocol, used for input and output of digital video and audio signals in the DV format, and the SBP2 protocol, used for high-speed transfer of video and audio data. By connecting SBP2 compatible nonlinear devices or servers, you can transfer data at fast speed.

Ethernet modular jack

You can connect this unit to a LAN to transfer material. In addition to transferring clips, you can also extract and transfer individual scenes.

Menu system for functionality and operation settings

The unit provides a menu system to make its various functions easier to use and set up its operation conditions.

Self-diagnostic/alarm function

This function automatically detects setup and connection errors, operation faults, and other problems. It also displays a description of the problem, its cause, and the recommended response on the video monitor screen or time counter display.

Internal test signal generator

The unit has built-in video and audio test signal generators. The video test signal generator can produce either a color bar signal or a black burst signal. The audio test signal generator can generate either a silent signal or a 1-kHz sine wave signal. Menu items are provided for selecting the test signals to be generated.

Reference signal connection

The reference video input connector of the unit is provided with a loop-through connector which can be used to connect the input reference video signal to other equipment. When there is no loop-through connection, the reference video input connector is automatically provided with a 75-ohm termination.

Compatible with wide-screen aspect ratio (16:9)

The unit can record and play back aspect ratio information. When video accompanied by wide-screen aspect ratio information is recorded or played back, the unit can output the video signal also containing the aspect ratio information.
