Features
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

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.

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.

The unit can record and play back aspect ratio information.
When video accompanied by wide-screen aspect ratio
