Audio Level Control In both recording and playback modes, the audio levels can be adjusted manually by using the control knobs on the front panel. Dial Menu Operation The DSR-2000A incorporates an initial set-up menu that provides easy accessibility and simplified operation. This set-up menu can be scrolled and modified with the search dial while monitoring Composite Video Out 3, SDI Video Out 3 or the time counter display. Key Inhibit & Rec Inhibit To help prevent accidental operation, the DSR-2000A is equipped with Key and Rec Inhibit functions. The Key Inhibit function disables all keys while the Rec Inhibit function makes it impossible to record onto a tape. Flexible Input Selection For greater flexibility during input selection, the DSR-2000A allows various combinations* of video and audio signals to be input. It is possible to select the digital interface for video and the analog interface for audio. *When SDTI (QSDI) is selected as the audio input, the video signal is determined to be SDTI (QSDI). However, when it is selected as the video input, other signal interfaces can be selected for the audio input. Universal Powering System The DSR-2000A employs a universal powering system that enables the use of AC 100 V to 240 V power sources. Closed Caption Function With a built-in closed caption function, the DSR-2000A can record character data on the video area as video auxiliary data and add it into the vertical blanking area in playback mode. The closed caption data is input and output through the composite and SDI interfaces.

Rugged Design Features Three-size Cassette Compartment The DSR-2000A incorporates a newly designed three-size cassette compartment to ensure compatibility with DV (25 Mb/s) format recorded tapes of all currently existing sizes and types.
