Features
Superimposing function
Timecode, operating mode, error messages, and other
text information, can be superimposed on the color
liquid crystal display and the analog composite video
signal output.
Functions for easy maintenance
•
Self-diagnosis and alarm function:
This
automatically detects incorrect operations or
connections, operating faults, and so forth, and
displays details of the problem, the cause, and the
action to be taken, in the color liquid crystal display
and the time data display.
•
Digital hours meter:
This keeps four cumulative
counts of the powered on time, the drum rotation
time, the tape transport time, and the number of tape
threadings and unthreadings, and displays them in the
color liquid crystal display and the time data display.
Sequential recording
Combining two DSR-70A/70AP units allows you to
perform sequential recording from one unit to another.
Using two cassettes repeatedly, the last six hours of
recording is always available (using 184 minute tapes).
When you renew the cassette about every 3 hours,
endless recording is possible.
Compatible with wide screen aspect ratio
(16:9)
The unit can record and play back aspect ratio
information. When video accompanied by wide-screen
aspect ratio information is recorded or played back, the
unit’s LCD monitor automatically switches to 16:9
mode. The video signal output from the unit also
contains the aspect ratio information.
AC and DC power
This unit is equipped with V-shoe attachment, on
which BP-L60/L60A/L90/L90A or BP-90/90A battery
or an AC adaptor can be mounted. The unit can
operate for about 120 minutes (with no optional boards
installed) with BP-L90 battery mounted. For AC
operation, you can connect an AC-550/550CE or AC-
DN2A/DN2B adaptor.
Combination of two units
Using the optional BKNW-225 Docking Kit to
combine two DSR-70A/70AP units gives you a
portable editor.
Compact and lightweight
Even though it is equipped with an LCD monitor and a
speaker, the unit weighs only 5.8 kg (12 lb 12 oz). Its
compact design makes it easy to carry anywhere.
