Features
Chapter 1 Overview
either as channels 1 and 2 or as channels 3 and 4. The two
audio channels can be output also either as channels 1
and 2 or as channels 3 and 4.
Compact Size
The compact size of the unit makes the unit suitable for use
on a desk top or in an outside broadcast van. The unit can
be used as feeder machine for non-linear editing.
Facilities for High-Efficiency Editing
200% variable playback
This unit is the first DVCAM format player or recorder to
provide noiseless, variable speed playback over the range
from –2 to +2 times normal speed.
Digital jog sound function
When searching at speeds in the range ±2 times normal
speed, the digital jog sound function is enabled. The audio
signal is saved in temporary memory, and replayed
according to the search speed. This allows searching on the
sound track.
Video process control
For analog video output and SDI-format video output,
you can adjust the video output level, chroma signal
output level, setup level (for DSR-DR1000A), black level
(for DSR-DR1000AP), and chroma phase using the setup
menu.
Search dial
This unit is equipped with a responsive search dial for jog
and shuttle playback.
Internal and external time codes
An internal time code generator and reader enables time
code compliant with SMPTE (for DSR-DR1000A)/EBU
(DSR-DR1000AP) format to be recorded and played back.
This allows editing to single frame precision.
Outputting or inputting time code (LTC) to or from an
external device is also possible using the TIME CODE IN/
OUT connectors.
The unit is also compatible with VITC.
Remote control
This unit has two RS-422A connectors for
communications with external editors with RS-422A
interfaces. Remote control is also possible via the supplied
RM-LG2 remote control unit and over the i.LINK
interface.
DMC (Dynamic Motion Control)
Under the control of external control devices, this unit can
play back editing segments over the range –2 to +2 times
normal speed.
Superimposition function
Time code values, operation mode indications, error
messages, and other text data can be superimposed on
analog composite video signals output from the SUPER
connector. The SUPER connector is a special connector
for output of text information. It can be used independently
when you are outputting composite video, component
video, S-Video and other video signals.
Special Hard Disk Functions
Extended recording times
The unit is equipped with a mass storage hard disk, which
allows a maximum of 12 hours of 25 Mbps DVCAM
stream signals to be recorded.
Rich variety of recording modes
• Normal recording: Input signals are recorded to the
hard disk. A single clip* is created by recording start and
stop operations.
• Continuous (endless) recording: This mode allows
continuous recording of new material to the hard disk,
overwriting old material when the disk becomes full.
This mode is suitable for meteorological and biological
observations, which require long continuous recording
times.
• Interval recording: This mode allows recording at
specified intervals. You can set the length of the
recording interval and the length of the standby time
until the next recording interval. The recording interval
can be set to 0.5, 1, 1.5, or 2 seconds, and the standby
interval to 30 seconds or 1, 5, or 10 minutes. This is
effective in situations such as biological observations
when long interval recording times are required.
• Pre-alarm (exterenal trigger) recording: In this mode,
recording is triggered by an alarm signal input from an
external device. For example, when an alarm signal is
received, the unit begins recording. Moreover the
recording includes data for the 30 seconds prior to
reception of the alarm signal (this data is continuously
saved in advance on the hard disk).
* Material recorded by this unit is handled in units called “clips”, which
contain the data from the start point to the end point of one recording
operation. Note that there is a limit of 500 on the number of clips that
can be saved, regardless of the available hard disk space.
