04 MAIN FEATURES • HD-SDI DSR-2000A** DSR-1800A** DSR-1600A** HD-SDI output from the above VTRs in 1080/59.94i, 1080/50i and 720/59.94P formats is provided from playback signals of tapes recorded in all DV formats. In addition, input signals through the SD-SDI and analog video input connectors* can also be up-converted to these HD formats. * Signals via i.LINK and SDTI (QSDI) interfaces cannot be up-converted. ** The DSR-2000A/1800A/1600A require an optional board for HD-SDI output. • i.LINK Interface (DV)* DSR-450WS** DSR-400** DSR-250 DSR-PD170 DSR-2000A** DSR-1800A** DSR-1600A** DSR-1500A DSR-45A DSR-11 DSR-50 DSR-DR1000A i.LINK interface enables a single cable to simultaneously carry digital video and audio signals, as well as data and control signals, with virtually no quality deterioration.* This simple connection offers an ideal solution for connecting DVCAM equipment with compatible consumer AV equipment and computer-related products. *i.LINK stands for IEEE1394-1995 standards and their revisions. is the logo for products that implement i.LINK. i.LINK is a trademark of Sony used only to designate that a product contains an IEEE 1394 connector. All products with an i.LINK connector may not communicate with each other. Please refer to the documentation that comes with any device having an i.LINK connector for information on compatibility, operating conditions and proper connection. For information on any Sony device having an i.LINK connector contact your local Sony Representative. ** Output only from the DSR-450WS/400 and DSR-1600A. Note: Sony VAIO® computers are checked with Sony DV products, but not with DVCAM, concerning the i.LINK interconnection. Some VAIO application software may not work with DVCAM. • AES/EBU DSR-2000A DSR-1800A* DSR-1600A* DSR-1500A* DSR-DR1000A The DSR-2000A/1800A/1600A/1500A VTRs and DSR-DR1000A are fitted with digital audio interfaces conforming to the AES/EBU standard. With a sampling frequency of 48 kHz and 20-bit quantization, these interfaces provide high-quality audio. * The DSR-1800A/1600A/1500A require an optional board for AES/EBU. Sophisticated Mechanisms • Quick, Responsive Mechanism DSR-2000A DSR-1800A DSR-1600A DSR-1500A Quick mechanical response is an essential requirement for professional video production. The above Master Series VTRs provide this rapid response with a combination of highly reliable direct reel drive and drum motor mechanisms. The result is a tape drive with rapid response to Jog and Shuttle commands when searching for edit points, and a rapid start in Play mode. • Three-size Cassette Compartment DSR-2000A DSR-1800A DSR-1600A DSR-1500A The above Master Series VTRs incorporate a newly designed three-size cassette compartment for compatibility with DV (25 Mb/s) format recorded tapes of all sizes and types. Thanks to this feature, it is possible to use standard and mini DV and DVCAM cassettes, as well as medium DVCPRO cassettes, without a mechanical adaptor. • Dual-size Cassette Compartment DSR-450WS DSR-400 DSR-250 DSR-45A DSR-11 DSR-50 The above camcorders and VTRs have a dual-size cassette compartment which accepts both standard and mini cassettes without a mechanical adaptor. Creative Versatility • Film-like Images with Progressive Mode DSR-450WS The DSR-450WS generates native progressive images of 29.97P, delivering outstanding clarity as well as a cinematic look. In addition, the DSR-450WS produces 23.976P images, offering film-like motion effects. Images captured in 23.976P scanning mode have 2-3 pull-down applied and recorded on tape in 59.94i format. • Selectable Gamma Table Including Film-like Gamma DSR-450WS The DSR-450WS provides a selectable gamma table to easily give a specific look to a picture by selecting from multiple fixed gamma patterns including so-called film-like gamma.
