Sony HSR-1, HSR-1P, HSR-2, HSR-2P manual 7

	Features
	Multiple Protection
	In case of the failure of the DV tape drive, recording
	operation continues on the built-in hard disk.
	Conversely, the HSR-1/1P/2/2P records the image data
Chapter
	directly onto the DV tape if the hard disk fails. (In
1	some cases, some of the data may be lost.)
	For additional protection, the HSR-1/1P/2/2P always
Overview
	checks whether data is accurately recorded onto a tape.
	If a recording failure is detected, the HSR-1/1P/2/2P
	re-records the same data onto the tape.
	Less Space Required
	Compact body
	The HSR-1/1P/2/2P features a compact body and is
	similar in width to a 14-inch monitor.
	Compact storage medium
	Using DV cassettes of only 1/3 the volume of VHS
	cassettes means your tape library takes up much less
	space.
	System Versatility
	16 Camera inputs
	The HSR-1/1P/2/2P has four camera inputs as
	standard. Up to three optional HSRA-11, four-input
	boards can be installed, so up to 16 camera inputs can
	be provided.
	Built-in multiplexing capability
	The HSR-1/1P/2/2P has built-in multiplexing
	capability, which allows independent recording and
	monitoring. There is also a choice of various
	monitoring patterns by freely assigning multiple
	cameras to a single monitor.

Output for a second monitor

The HSR-1/1P/2/2P has two monitoring outputs A and B, for which output images can be independently selected. For example, it is possible to monitor the image from one key camera on the B monitor, while checking playback on the A monitor.

Flexible camera assignment

There are five preset recording modes, which can be flexibly combined with your choice of picture quality mode, tape length, recording time, number of camera inputs and the recording cycle of each camera. This feature allows you to assign cameras as you like. It is possible, for instance, to record from all the cameras in High mode during the day and then select some of these cameras to be recorded from in Super mode at night.

RS-232C interface

The HSR-1/1P/2/2P is equipped with an RS-232C interface for communication with external equipment such as a personal computer, to facilitate machine control, and user data read/write. You may also use this port for connecting the optional SNT-V304 video network station.

37-pin parallel port

The HSR-1/1P/2/2P has a 37-pin parallel I/O interface, whose pin functions can be freely configured for a particular application.

Playback During Recording (HSR-2/2P only)

You can check the latest recorded images by reversing the recording for the desired length of time (from 1 to 99 minutes) without stopping recording in progress.

When checking, you can also search for a specific image by using the time search and alarm search functions. Images recorded on other cassettes can also be played during recording by changing cassettes.
