PRODUCT DATA SHEET
The DMR’s format support includes that
for 480i60, 576i50, 1080i50, 1080i60,
720p50, and 720p60. SD formats are
selectable in 16:9, 4:3, and letterbox
aspect ratios.
On-Board Selectable Compression
Infinity Series products provide a choice
of compression schemes and bit rates,
letting you select what is best for your
workflow today and in the future. The
DMR supports DV25, JPEG 2000, and
MPEG-2 (certain models) compression,
assignable via its interface.
The recorder’s DV codec is 25 Mb/s
4:2:0 (PAL) or 4:1:1 (NTSC), making
it ideal for immediate use in your SD
workflow today.
The next-generation JPEG 2000
compression scheme can be used for
SD and HD acquisition. It provides,
high-efficiency compression, 10-bit 4:2:2
encoding, high image quality, and no
blocking artifacts—and is fully scalable
through its ability to encode once and
decode many different resolutions as
needed.
High-Quality Audio Recording
The Infinity Series DMR records
uncompressed, real-time, high-quality,
four-channel audio, and offers mixture of
four selectable analog and digital input
sources. It features AES/EBU inputs
and outputs for external audio device
connectivity.
IT-Based Recording Media
The Infinity Series DMR is a portable
field unit that uses off-the-shelf Iomega
REV removable disks, Thomson Grass
Valley REV PRO, and professional-grade
CompactFlash solid-state memory as
recording and playback media. The
extremely durable REV PRO removable
disks come in three varieties. The
basic REV PRO 35* combines the
portability, ease of use, and low cost
of videotape, with the nonlinear, high-
speed access of a hard drive. REV PRO
XP, for eXtra Performance, supports
high-performance ingest (more than 2X
real-time). And REV PRO ER provides
Extended Recording time.
Professional-grade CompactFlash
memory is a readily available solid-
state technology that delivers high-level
performance for demanding professional
video applications. CompactFlash cards
are small, lightweight, and extremely
durable. They are available in various
capacities from dealers worldwide
and trends indicate that their storage
capacities will continue to increase while
their costs decrease.
Both REV PRO and CompactFlash
media offer unprecedented advantages
in terms of usability, price, and
performance, including nonlinear
random access to video files,
simultaneous playback while recording,
and non-degrading archival storage.
Ultimate Connectivity
The Infinity Series DMR offers the
ultimate in connectivity. Its traditional
inputs/outputs include BNC connectors
for (HD-)SDI, CVBS, TC, and AES digital
audio—as well as XLRs for analog audio.
For IT-based connectivity, this unit
comes with two USB 2.0 connectors,
one FireWire (IEEE 1394) connector, one
HDMI display connector, and a Gigabit
Ethernet port. It can also connect to an
external storage device such as a hard
drive or flash memory device via USB
or FireWire. You can connect standard
display devices, such as HD flat-screen
monitors, via the HDMI connector.
Touch-Screen, Wireless Control
You can manipulate the Infinity Series
DMR through traditional controls for
standard operation and through a TFT
touch-screen display. A built-in user
interface supports video monitoring, clip
management, audio setup and metering,
and detailed configuration.
You can also use our optional LCP 400
software to control the DMR 1000.
Running on a Windows Mobile PDA or
Pocket PC Phone, it gives you access
to menus and settings. It displays audio
levels and, thanks to its extremely low
latency, lets you make critical adjustments
to audio parameters such as gain. And
you can create and edit metadata such
as names, dates, slugs, locations, and
other settings before, during, or after the
recording. It can also be used to remotely
start and stop recordings.
Compact, Portable Design
Performing anytime, anywhere, and
under all circumstances has been one
of the main design objectives for the
Infinity Series DMR. As a result, it is well
balanced, easy to handle, and offers a
high level of mobility inside and outside.
With its feature set and connectivity
capabilities, the DMR eliminates the
need for additional IT peripherals
and reduces your travel volume and
operational weight requirements.
Dedicated accessories such as a field
case and a shelf mount kit for “grab and
go” installation are available.
The Infinity Digital Media Camcorder, the companion to the Digital
Media Recorder.
* REV PRO 35 disks can be used in the DMR 1000
for SD record/play or HD playback only.
