Overview
Playback compatibility with DV and
DVCPRO formats
A DV cassette recorded on a DV format VCR as well
as a DVCPRO (25M) format recorded cassette can be
played back on this unit.
Note
When playing back a tape recorded in DVCPRO
(25M) format, the SDTI and i.LINK outputs
(see the
section “Digital interfaces” on this page)
of this unit
are muted. Furthermore, it is not possible to playback
the cue-audio track of the tape.
Support for three cassette sizes
There are two sizes of DVCAM cassette: standard and
mini. You can use either size with this unit.
The unit also accepts L and M sizes of DVCPRO
(25M) cassette.
• The reel mechanism automatically adjusts to the size
of cassette inserted.
• The capacity of a standard cassette is 184 minutes of
recording/playback, and that of a mini cassette is 40
minutes.
Variety of Interfaces
Digital interfaces (options)
The unit can use the following digital interfaces
provided by optional interface boards
(see page 12)
.
• SDTI (QSDI)
1)
This interface allows video, audio and timecode
signals in SDTI (QSDI) format to be transferred at
normal speed between this unit and the ES-7
EditStation. When this unit is connected to another
DVCAM VCR, it is possible to copy compressed
signals between the two VCRs. (Optional DSBK-150
board)
• SDI
2)
This interface allows the unit to input or output D1
(component) digital video and audio signals.
(Optional DSBK-160A board)
• i.LINK (DV)
3)
The DV input/output connector using i.LINK
technology allows the unit to input and output digital
video and audio signals in DV format. (Optional
DSBK-140/160A board)
Analog interfaces
A wide range of analog interfaces is provided,
allowing this unit to be connected to various video and
audio devices.
• Analog video:
Composite and S-video interfaces are
provided. There is also a component interface option
(DSBK-170).
• Analog audio:
There are two input channels and two
output channels. There is also support for microphone
input.
Full Functionality for More
Efficient Editing
This unit has functions which assist in efficient and
precise editing.
With two DSR-70A/70AP units together, you can
carry out automatic or manual editing, using either
assemble or insert editing.
The system also provides a powerful range of
functions for setting and amending edit points,
preview, review, and other aspects of efficient editing.
DMC (dynamic motion control) editing
You can save a varying speed, in the range –
1
/
2
to +
1
/
2
times normal speed, for an editing segment, and
automatically edit with this varying speed.
1) SDTI (QSDI): SDTI (Serial Data Transport Interface) is
the name of a standard interface established as SMPTE
305M.
This unit uses SDTI to transmit DV data, and the input/
output connectors are labled “SDTI(QSDI).”
In indicator and menu indications, however, the
“SDTI(QSDI)” name is shortened to “SDTI.”
