Pool Feed Operation
When only a few cameramen are delegated to a press conference, the
DSR-500WS can be configured as a recorder through the analog composite
input. This is called “Pool Feed Operation”. The optional DSBK-501 Analog
Composite Input Board must be installed.
Dual Zebra
The DSR-500WS has two simultaneous types of zebra patterns - ‘ZEBRA 1’ and
‘ZEBRA 2’. ‘ZEBRA 1’ can be set within a range of 70 IRE to 90 IRE, in 1 IRE steps.
‘ZEBRA 2’ provides a zebra pattern in any area with a more than 100% video level.

Video Light Connector for Anton Bauer Ultralight 2
An optional Anton Bauer Ultralight 2 can
be directly attached to the DSR-500WS
using the video light connector. This
system is powered from the camcorder’s
attached battery. Light ON/OFF can be
controlled manually or can be
synchronized automatically with the REC
start function of the DSR-500WS. The
LIGHT switch located on the front-right
side of the camcorder can set this to
manual or automatic control.
CA-WR855 Camera Adaptor (for the WRR-855A)
A wireless receiver case has been developed
specifically to accommodate the Sony
WRR-855A Wireless Receiver.
The Sony CA-WR855 Camera Adaptor attaches
directly to the DSR-500WS via a V-shoe
attachment and a direct audio/power connection
interface. A Lithium-ion battery can also be
directly attached to the rear panel of the
CA-WR855 via the V-shoe attachment. This
allows easy battery replacement even when the
WRR-855A is mounted.
Setup Data Management
■ Camera Setup Files
— Eight Setup Files
The DSR-500WS is equipped with a convenient VF (Viewfinder) Menu
System; a control menu with superimposed characters on the VF screen.
When the SETUP switch is set to FILE position, a total of eight setup files can
be used with the dedicated VF Menu System. Five Factory Preset Files are
set by Sony to accommodate the five most common lighting situations, such
as STANDARD, HIGH SATURATION and FLUORESCENT.
In addition, three User Files allow the operator to custom set camera
parameters, to match particular shooting situations.
■ SetupNavi™
— Camera Setup File Storage
The DSR-500WS Camcorder has the SetupNavi function to store the User
Files or Factory Preset Files of the DSR-500WS directly onto VAUX (Video
Auxiliary) data territory of the DVCAM cassette tape. The data can be stored
on and recalled from the DVCAM tape via the VF Menu System.
■ SetupLog™
— Automatic Recording of Camera Data
Information of the most relevant DSR-500WS setting
parameters for every shot is automatically recorded onto
the VAUX area of DVCAM cassette tapes. This is called
the SetupLog function. It is useful for the camera
operator not only when the same shot has to be re-taken,
but also when re-shooting or operating conditions have
to be checked during a particular shoot.
Easy Operation Camcorder
To ensure the best possible results with simple operation, the
DSR-500WS incorporates:
Total Level Control System (TLCS)
If incoming light is outside the range of the automatic Iris Control (either above
or below), the DSR-500WS is still able to achieve correct picture exposure by
using the Iris Control in combination with Auto Gain Control (AGC) and CCD AE
(Auto Exposure, uses variable CCD shutter speeds). This is called the Total
Level Control System (TLCS), which ensures ease of operation for this high-end
professional camera while also maintaining low-noise characteristics.
Auto Tracing White Balance (ATW)
In the DSR-500WS, tracing of the white area in Auto Tracing White Balance
mode (ATW) is extremely fast enough to meet professional demands. This also
improves the accuracy of the white balance adjustment.
