MAIN FEATURES
• i.LINK Interface (DV)*
i.LINK interface enables a single cable to simultaneously carry
digital video and audio signals, as well as data and control
signals, with virtually no quality deterioration.* This simple
connection offers an ideal solution for connecting DVCAM
equipment with compatible consumer AV equipment and
computer-related products.
*i.LINK stands for IEEE1394-1995 standards and their revisions.
is the logo for products that implement i.LINK.
i.LINK is a trademark of Sony used only to designate that a product contains an
IEEE 1394 connector. All products with an i.LINK connector may not
communicate with each other. Please refer to the documentation that comes
with any device having an i.LINK connector for information on compatibility,
operating conditions and proper connection. For information on any Sony device
having an i.LINK connector contact your local Sony Representative.
** Output only from the DSR-450WS/400 and DSR-1600A.
Note: Sony VAIO

computers are checked with Sony DV products, but not with
DVCAM, concerning the i.LINK interconnection. Some VAIO application
software may not work with DVCAM.
• AES/EBU
The DSR-2000A/1800A/1600A/1500A VTRs and DSR-DR1000A
are fitted with digital audio interfaces conforming to the
AES/EBU standard. With a sampling frequency of 48 kHz and
20-bit quantization, these interfaces provide high-quality audio.
* The DSR-1800A/1600A/1500A require an optional board for AES/EBU.
Sophisticated Mechanisms
• Quick, Responsive Mechanism
Quick mechanical response is an essential requirement for
professional video production. The above Master Series VTRs
provide this rapid response with a combination of highly reliable
direct reel drive and drum motor mechanisms. The result is a tape
drive with rapid response to Jog and Shuttle commands when
searching for edit points, and a rapid start in Play mode.
• Three-size Cassette Compartment
The above Master Series VTRs incorporate a newly designed
three-size cassette compartment for compatibility with
DV (25 Mb/s) format recorded tapes of all sizes and types.
Thanks to this feature, it is possible to use standard and mini
DV and DVCAM cassettes, as well as medium DVCPRO
cassettes, without a mechanical adaptor.
• Dual-size Cassette Compartment
The above camcorders and VTRs have a dual-size cassette
compartment which accepts both standard and mini cassettes
without a mechanical adaptor.
Creative Versatility
• Film-like Images with Progressive Mode
The DSR-450WS generates native progressive images of 29.97P,
delivering outstanding clarity as well as a cinematic look. In
addition, the DSR-450WS produces 23.976P images, offering
film-like motion effects. Images captured in 23.976P scanning
mode have 2-3
pull-down applied and recorded on tape in 59.94i format.
• Selectable Gamma Table Including Film-like Gamma
The DSR-450WS provides a selectable gamma table to easily give
a specific look to a picture by selecting from multiple fixed
gamma patterns including so-called film-like gamma.

• HD-SDI
HD-SDI output from the above VTRs in 1080/59.94i, 1080/50i and
720/59.94P formats is provided from playback signals of tapes
recorded in all DV formats. In addition, input signals through
the SD-SDI and analog video input connectors* can also be
up-converted to these HD formats.
* Signals via i.LINK and SDTI (QSDI) interfaces cannot be up-converted.
** The DSR-2000A/1800A/1600A require an optional board for HD-SDI output.
