Compact, Lightweight Design
The DNW-A25WS recorder uses a robust tape transport,
an LCD screen and a built-in audio speaker in its compact
body that weighs just 15 lb (under 6.5 kg) and is only
8.4 x 17.5 x 5.9 inches (211 x 443 x 149 mm) overall.
It is small enough to be hand-carried and used in any
space-limited environment.
Double Deck Editor
A portable editing system can be easily created by
docking two DNW-A25WS recorders together*.
This configuration provides VTR-to-VTR editing with a
Jog/Shuttle dial operation and all editing controls.
This package not only provides Betacam SX-to-Betacam
SX format editing, but the analog playback capability of
the DNW-A25WS also allows Betacam/Betacam SP-to-
Betacam SX format editing.
The DNW-A25WS can also be combined with a
DVCAM™ portable editor*, the Sony DSR-70A/70AP.
Since the DSR-70A/70AP has the playback capability of
both DVCAM and consumer DV format recordings, this
configuration allows both consumer DV and
DVCAM-to-Betacam SX format editing to broaden the
choice of acquisition tools.
*An optional docking kit, the BKNW-225 is required. A DNW-A25WS can
also be docked to a DNW-A25.
Long Recording Time
The DNW-A25WS uses S-size cassettes for recording and
playback. For Betacam SX format recording, a single
S-cassette records up to 62 minutes of audio/video signals.
When two DNW-A25WS are docked together, a sequential
recording function is available that uses each deck
alternately. This feature increases the recording time by
synchronizing the recording process across both decks.
Minimum Crew Package
The portable editing system described above is so
compact and lightweight that it can bring a significant
reduction in the amount of field editing equipment
carried by production crews. With bright, built-in LCD
screens in a compact, modular package, the system is
ideal for portable editing applications. During editing,
pictures can be monitored on these screens and audio
monitored via headphones or the built-in speakers.
Battery or AC-powered Operation
The DNW-A25WS recorder operates on battery power
from Sony BP-L60A/L90A lithium-ion batteries or
BP-M50/M100 nickel metal hydride batteries, via the
V-shoe attachment. The BP-M100 nickel metal hydride
battery provides high capacity in a small and compact
size, and offers approximately 90 minutes of operating
time in a fully charged condition. Alternatively, two
DNW-A25WS units can be powered from an AC source by
connecting the output of an AC-DN2B AC Adaptor via
the V-shoe attachment of the first unit and via the 4-pin
connector of the second unit.
