Master Series VTRs
Since its introduction, the DVCAM format has become
widely accepted in the world of video production – from
industrial to broadcast markets. Recognising the
increasing demands for DV-based production in broad-
cast applications, Sony introduced the DSR-2000P in
1999, complete with compatibility with all DV family
formats and professional features, such as excellent
editing performance and high-quality jog audio, inherited
from analogue formats. Building on the advanced
technologies of the DVCAM format and professional
features of the flagship DSR-2000P, Sony now presents
the entire lineup of Master Series VTRs, our top-of-the-
line DVCAM videocassette recorders and players.
The Master Series VTRs (DSR-2000P, DSR-1800P,
DSR-1600P, DSR-1500AP and DSR-70AP) now
bring the features and benefits introduced with the
DSR-2000P to a wider market, from industrial to broad-
cast for a wider range of applications and needs.
