Overview
Features
The DSR-DR1000A/DR1000AP is a digital video disk
recorder using the DVCAM
TM
digital recording format. It
is the first professional DVCAM studio recorder to feature
a hard disk as its recording media.
The DSR-DR1000A/DR1000AP 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.

with IEEE1394-1995 specifications and their revisions.
The following are the principal features of the unit.
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
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.
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
