07 LINEUP FEATURES Lineup Features Digital VTRs Master Series VTR Common Features DSR-2000A DSR-1800A DSR-1600A DSR-1500A Since its introduction, the DVCAM format has become widely accepted in the world of video production from industrial to broadcast markets. Recognizing the increasing demands for DV-based production in broadcast applications, Sony has developed the DVCAM Master Series of VTRs (comprising the DSR-2000A, DSR-1800A, DSR-1600A, and DSR-1500A models). All Master Series VTRs are fully compatible with all DV family formats and provide professional features such as excellent editing performance and high-quality jog audio, inherited from analog formats. Each model is equipped with an i.LINK interface as standard. In addition, they provide SDI, SDTI (DSR-2000A and DSR-1500A only), and AES/EBU input/output, as well as HD-SDI up-conversion output capabilities via optional boards. The introduction of Sony DVCAM Master Series VTRs brings professional features and interface versatility to production environments ranging from industrial to broadcast, and for both SD and HD programming applications. • Superb picture quality of the DVCAM format • Playback capability of DV (25 Mb/s) recorded tapes including DV tapes recorded in SP mode and DVCPRO tapes*1 without an adaptor or menu setting changes • Long recording time: up to 184 minutes with a standard-size cassette and 40 minutes with a mini-size cassette • Four-channel audio editing capability*2 • Audio cross-fade function for clean audio transitions at editing points*3 • Excellent jog audio capability • DMC (Dynamic Motion Control) provides noiseless slow-motion playback*4 • High-speed picture search over a range of 60 times*2 normal speed, in both forward and reverse • Versatile digital interfaces*5: SDI, SDTI (QSDI), HD-SDI, i.LINK (DV) and AES/EBU digital audio • Extensive analog interfaces: composite, component, S-Video and XLR audio • RS-422A remote control interface • Frame accurate editing capability • ClipLink operation • Full tape dubbing with ClipLink Log Data via SDTI (QSDI) and RS-422A interfaces • 16:9 aspect ID signal recording • Video process control for greater control of both analog and digital outputs • Built-in SMPTE/EBU time code and VITC generator/reader • Built-in signal generator (color bars, black burst, 1 kHz tone, silent signal)*6 • Flexible input selection between video and audio*7 • Universal powering system (AC 100 V to 240 V) • Three-size cassette compartment to ensure compatibility with DV(25Mb/s) recorded tapes • Closed caption function (NTSC Model only) *1 SDTI (QSDI) and i.LINK (DV) interfaces do not support DVCPRO playback. *2 DSR-2000A/DSR-1800A/DSR-1600A only. *3 DSR-2000A/DSR1800A only. *4 DSR-2000A/DSR1800A/DSR-1600A only. *5 Optional Input/Output Boards required.
