The Professional Picture Quality You Demand
Newly Developed 3CCD Camera System
The DSR-250 incorporates three 1/3-inch CCDs with 380,000
pixels (effective 340,000 pixels), while the DSR-250P incorporates
three 1/3-inch CCDs with 450,000 pixels (effective 400,000 pixels).
The camcorder has 530 lines of horizontal resolution, allowing you
to capture your subject in tremendous detail. The 1/3-inch size
also contributes to the high sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio.
These CCDs are capable of both interlace scan, for moving
images, and progressive scan, for still images or shooting a
moving subject* and exporting a frame of the image as a still
picture to a PC.
* When recording moving
images in progressive scan
mode, the motion will
display some jitter since the
picture is read/output every
1/15 second (DSR-250) or
1/12.5 second (DSR-250P).
New 12x Zoom Lens/Optical Super SteadyShot
This newly developed 12x lens* with a 58 mm filter diameter allows
the DSR-250 to achieve high picture quality as a 1/3-inch CCD
camcorder. The DSR-250 also employs the Super SteadyShot
system. Horizontal and vertical movements are detected
independently by sensors. The prism system, located in the front
of the lens, adjusts and optically compensates for unsteadiness,
while maintaining high image quality.
* Digital zoom of 24x or 48x can be achieved by proper menu selection.
1.5-inch Black & White CRT Viewfinder and Supplied
Directional Microphone
The DSR-250 incorporates
the new DXF-801 1.5-inch
Black/White viewfinder for
greater resolution. This durable,
yet lightweight viewfinder
enables easier manual focussing
with its high resolution. A
directional microphone is
supplied with the DSR-250.
The input can be selected from LINE/MIC/MIC with +48 V
power supply.
Standard and Mini Cassette Compatibility
The VTR portion of the DSR-250 is designed to accommodate both
DVCAM and DV format standard and mini-size cassette tapes.
This allows you to record up to 184 minutes with a standard-size
DVCAM cassette and the freedom to record on any size DV cassette.
16-bit/12-bit PCM Digital Sound and
Audio Dub Capability
The DSR-250 records two channels of audio with the 48 kHz/16-bit
or 32 kHz/12-bit mode. On a pre-recorded tape with two channels
recorded in the 32 kHz/12-bit mode, it can dub an additional two
channels through the external mic input (XLR connectors or RCA
pin jacks, DVCAM recorded tape only).

DVCAM/DV Recording
The DSR-250 uses the DVCAM format to offer professional video
and audio quality as well as high reliability. For professional editing,
an audio lock mode is used to synchronize the audio and video.
It is also capable of recording and playing back DV format tapes
(SP mode only)*.
* The transition from cut to cut may not be smooth when recorded in DV (SP)
format. In between scenes where the recording format is changed from DV to
DVCAM, or vice versa, transition may not be smooth. This is a normal and expected
phenomenon. Audio dubbing is NOT possible when recorded in DV (SP) format.
XLR Audio Inputs
In addition to the front XLR
input, the DSR-250 comes
with two XLR audio input
connectors for connecting
professional microphones.
