Chapter 1 Overview
1-2 Chapter 1 Overview
Multiple Protection
In case of the failure of the DV tape drive, recording
operation continues on the built-in hard disk.
Conversely, the HSR-1/1P/2/2P records the image data
directly onto the DV tape if the hard disk fails. (In
some cases, some of the data may be lost.)
For additional protection, the HSR-1/1P/2/2P always
checks whether data is accurately recorded onto a tape.
If a recording failure is detected, the HSR-1/1P/2/2P
re-records the same data onto the tape.
Less Space Required
Compact body
The HSR-1/1P/2/2P features a compact body and is
similar in width to a 14-inch monitor.
Compact storage medium
Using DV cassettes of only 1/3 the volume of VHS
cassettes means your tape library takes up much less
space.
System Versatility
16 Camera inputs
The HSR-1/1P/2/2P has four camera inputs as
standard. Up to three optional HSRA-11, four-input
boards can be installed, so up to 16 camera inputs can
be provided.
Built-in multiplexing capability
The HSR-1/1P/2/2P has built-in multiplexing
capability, which allows independent recording and
monitoring. There is also a choice of various
monitoring patterns by freely assigning multiple
cameras to a single monitor.
Output for a second monitor
The HSR-1/1P/2/2P has two monitoring outputs A and
B, for which output images can be independently
selected. For example, it is possible to monitor the
image from one key camera on the B monitor, while
checking playback on the A monitor.
Flexible camera assignment
There are five preset recording modes, which can be
flexibly combined with your choice of picture quality
mode, tape length, recording time, number of camera
inputs and the recording cycle of each camera. This
feature allows you to assign cameras as you like. It is
possible, for instance, to record from all the cameras in
High mode during the day and then select some of these
cameras to be recorded from in Super mode at night.
RS-232C interface
The HSR-1/1P/2/2P is equipped with an RS-232C
interface for communication with external equipment
such as a personal computer, to facilitate machine
control, and user data read/write. You may also use this
port for connecting the optional SNT-V304 video
network station.
37-pin parallel port
The HSR-1/1P/2/2P has a 37-pin parallel I/O interface,
whose pin functions can be freely configured for a
particular application.
Recording/Playback Systems Not
to Miss Any Important Scenes
Playback During Recording (HSR-2/2P only)
You can check the latest recorded images by reversing
the recording for the desired length of time (from 1 to
99 minutes) without stopping recording in progress.
When checking, you can also search for a specific
image by using the time search and alarm search
functions. Images recorded on other cassettes can also
be played during recording by changing cassettes.
