DVR-7000
3.2.6 Newly Added Functions and
Specifications
The following functions and specifications are newly added to the
DVR-7000, compared with the DVR-2000.
3.2.6.1 CD/Video-CD Playback
As mentioned before, the newly developed pickup for DVD-R/RW
recording, responding to two wavelengths, makes it possible to play
back CD media. The basic functions are the same as those of DVD-
Video players.
3.2.6.2 Progressive Output
For the video output stage, the same chip set as that for the DV-
S737 is employed, and the D2 terminal is mounted to respond to the
progressive output. Therefore, the same functions as with the DV-
S737, such as 2-3 pull-down progressive scan and movement-
adaptable-type interpolation processing functions, are provided, and
the 10-bit/54-MHz video DAC is included. It also has functions
such as component-frame DNR and quantum noise reduction.
3.2.6.3 Picture Creation
The Picture Creation function, which integrally controls LSIs for
video input and output and settings of various NRs and which realizes
the highest recording and playback picture quality by making picture-
quality settings to best suit the video content, is provided. The most
suitable picture-quality setting is possible with a simple operation.
3.2.6.4 Recording in 3/4-D1 and 2/3-D1
Resolution
As mentioned before, a newly developed MPEG video encoder LSI
enables recording in 3/4-D1 and 2/3-D1 resolutions in addition to
the conventional full-D1 and 1/2-D1 resolutions available with the
conventional MPEG-2 encoders. This offers more options of
resolutions suited for length of recording, and enables higher picture
quality even with longer recording.
3.2.6.5 LPCM Recording
In addition to the conventionally used DDCE, LPCM recording is
provided to the DVD-recorder. This enables audio recording more
faithful to the original sound. LPCM recording is possible only with
MN32 recording rate.
3.2.6.6 Full-resolution GUI
The newly developed Graphics Engine LSI with full-resolution GUI
functions dramatically improves the power of expression. In
combination with the reduced-size-moving-picture-capture function,
an easy-to-operate and high-quality User Interface has been realized.
3.2.6.7 Special Playback
To improve the operability and performance as an editing machine,
various special playback functions and performance are provided.
Besides frame-by-frame playback in forward and reverse, special
playback functions, such as 1/2-, 1/4-, 1/8-, and 1/16-time playback
in forward and reverse, and reverse playback at normal speed in full
resolution are possible.
3.2.7 Other Features and Specifications
Other conventional features and specifications are as follows:
• 96-kHz/24-bit DAC
• 48-kHz/20-bit ADC
• 3-Dimensional Y/C-separation circuit
• Frame TBC
• Responding to the DV (iLink) input/output
• Built-in BS tuner
• Disc Navigator
• Disc timer
• Commercial skip
