superb quality pictures and a low error rate.
DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) protective layer
provides the enhanced protection of the tape
surface which is essential to avoid the
possibility of damage during long editing
sessions. Finally, DVCAM tape provides a
low frequency of dropouts and superior
thermal stability. Cassettes are available with
or without an IC Cassette Memory.
This 16 kbit Cassette Memory stores ClipLink
Log Data and Index Pictures which can
enhance editing efficiency.
Up to Three-hour Recording
Capability
DVCAM video cassette tapes are available in
two sizes: standard and mini.
Recording time of up to 184 minutes is provided with a standard
size cassette and up to 40 minutes with a mini
size cassette. These long recording times are
achieved in very compact cassettes
with a tape width of only
1/4 inch (6.35 mm).
* The DSR-200A Camcorder accepts a standard size cassette only.
The DSR-PD100 Camcorder, the DSR-PD1 Camcorder, the DSR-V10 DVCAM
Video Walkman
®
Recorder and the DRV-1000 DVCAM Drive accept a mini size
cassette only.
Excellent Performance from
Professional DVCAM Tapes
To gain maximum performance from high density digital
recording, advanced Metal Evaporated tape technology has
been developed for the DVCAM
format. The use of Sony’s pure cobalt
advanced evaporated coating gives
both high output and high C/N
(Carrier-to-Noise) ratio, resulting in

Remote Control Interfaces for
High Performance Editing
•RS-422A
An RS-422A remote control interface is used for professional
editing. It allows for these VTRs to interface not only with the
EditStation system but also with Sony VTRs and editing
controllers that have the same interface. RS-422A is also used to
transfer ClipLink Log Data from the DVCAM Cassette Memory to
the EditStation system.
•LANC
A LANC interface makes it easy to perform simple edits using
other LANC-based devices including consumer DV products
that have high editing accuracy (±5 frames).
Full Compatibility with Analog Equipment
•Analog Interfaces
The DSR Series is compatible with current analog video
equipment. With analog interfaces for both video and audio, the
DSR Series VTRs interface with conventional analog equipment
such as Betacam SP
®
, S-VHS and Hi-8 VTRs, facilitating a
smooth and gradual migration to a future digital system.
Composite, component* and S-Video connections are provided
for video. Four channel or two channel (selectable) inputs and
outputs are provided for audio.
* The DSR-30, DSR-20 and DSR-V10 are not equipped with a component interface.
The DSR-70 requires an optional board for analog component.
•Dual Interface Mechanism
The DSR-1 Dockable Recorder has both Pro 76-pin Digital and
Pro 50-pin connectors. These connections allow direct
connection with several
alternative Sony digital and
analog cameras:
DXC-D30, DXC-D30WS,
DXC-637, DXC-537,
DXC-537A, DXC-327A and
DXC-327B. This feature allows
the DSR-1 to be configured
with a variety of different
cameras to suit particular
applications.
Dual-size Cassette Mechanism
The above VTRs and camcorders all have a dual-size cassette
mechanism which accepts both standard and mini size
cassettes without any adaptor.
In the case of the DSR-1, this is a technological first for
professional camcorders.
