Compact Storage
Medium
A DV cassette is only one third in
volume of a VHS tape. This com-
pact size means that storage-
space requirements in your tape
library are substantially reduced.
Features
Less Space Required
Compact Body
The HSR recorders feature a
compact body and are similar in
width to a 14-inch monitor.
System Versatility
16 Camera Inputs
The HSR recorders have four camera inputs as standard. Up to
three optional HSRA-11 four-input boards can be installed, thereby
providing up to 16 camera inputs.
Built-in Multiplexing Capability
Because the HSR recorders have a built-in multiplexing capability,
an external multiplexer, or switcher, is unnecessary. The HSR-1 uses
duplex multiplexing, which allows for independent recording and
monitoring. The HSR-2 incorporates triple multiplexing, which
achieves independent recording and monitoring while playing
images back. Both HSR recorders independently record and monitor
up to 16 camera inputs. A choice of monitoring patterns helps you
create the optimum monitoring environment for your particular
application by freely assigning multiple cameras to a single monitor.
Output for a Second Monitor
The HSR recorders have two monitoring outputs: “A”output for a
first monitor and “B” output for a second monitor. The “B” output
can be set to show the same as the “A”output (a full screen of one
selected camera image) or it can switch sequentially between all
connected cameras. For example, it is possible to monitor the
image from one key camera on the second monitor, while checking
the playback images on the first monitor.
Flexible Camera Assignment
There are five preset recording modes, which can be flexibly com-
bined with picture quality mode, tape length, recording time, number
of camera inputs and the recording cycle of each camera. This
feature allows you to assign cameras as you like. It is possible, for
instance, to record with all cameras in High mode during the day but
some of these cameras can be set to record in Super mode at night.
RS-232C Interface
The HSR recorders are equipped with an RS-232C interface for
communication with external equipment, such as personal com-
puters, to facilitate machine control, status settings, parameter
preset and user data read/write. The optional SNT-V304 Video
Network Station also connects with this interface.
37-pin Parallel Port
The 37-pin parallel I/O interface on the HSR recorders provide
12 V DC, GND (ground) as well as control input and output func-
tions. The pin functions can be freely configured for a particular
application via the setup menu.

Multiple Protection
In the event of a recording problem, the HSR recorders provide
multiple protection. If the HDD fails, the HSR records the image
data directly to DV tape. Conversely, in case of DV tape drive failure,
recording continues on the HDD. For additional protection, the HSR
recorders check whether data is accurately recorded to tape. If a
recording failure is detected, the HSR re-records the same data to
tape.
