Sony DSR-80 - Manual (Page 4)

Versatility for Current
System Environments
The DSR-80 and the DSR-60 have been specially designed
for easy integration into existing analog editing systems. In
addition to versatile digital interfaces, the DSR-80 and the
DSR-60 provide full analog interfaces.
Remote Control via RS-422A
The DSR-80 and the DSR-60 are equipped with an RS-422A
serial communication port to interface with Sony VTRs and
editing controllers such as the PVE-500. In addition to VTR
control functions, the interface also enables the transfer of
ClipLink Log Data from the cassette memory in the DVCAM
cassette to a Sony EditStation system.
Analog Interfaces
The DSR-80 and the DSR-60 provide a full complement of
analog interfaces for video and audio, which offers compatibility
with conventional analog equipment, such as Betacam SP
TM ,
Hi8 and S-VHS for a smooth and gradual transition to digital
systems.
For video, composite, component and S-video connections are
provided. Four channel or two channel (selectable) inputs
(DSR-80 only) and outputs are provided for audio.
Comprehensive Editing Features
Built-in SMPTE Time Code Generator/Reader
A built-in time code generator (DSR-80 only) and reader are
in the DSR-80 and the DSR-60 to offer precise video editing.
The time code conforms to the SMPTE standard. Time code
written in the sub code is controlled via the RS-422A interface
port. Input (DSR-80 only)/output of time code is possible with
the optional DSBK-130 Time Code Input/Output Board.
Time Base Corrector
The DSR-80 and the DSR-60 are equipped with a built-in time
base corrector for all analog outputs giving highly stable video
signals. Sync and SC phase adjustment is made from the front
panel, while the TBC control is possible with the optional
UVR-60 TBC Remote Control Unit.
Digital Slow Function
The Digital Slow function takes advantage of digital
processing for playback at 0.39 times (DSR-80) and 0.33 times
(DSR-60) normal playback speed both in forward and reverse,
achieving noiseless slow-motion images. Either frame or field
accurate playback is possible.
Frame Accurate Editing Capability
When connected to RS-422A equipped editing controllers,
the DSR-80 and the DSR-60 function as an editing recorder and
an editing player for assemble or insert editing. Frame
accurate editing is assured in both modes, thanks to the
sophisticated servo control and built-in time code generator
(the DSR-80 only) and reader.
In the insert mode of the DSR-80, video, audio and time code
can be inserted independently or in any combination. In the
assemble mode, all of the prerecorded signals (video, audio
and time code) are erased and replaced with new signals.
High Speed Picture Search
The DSR-80 and the DSR-60 offer high speed picture search
which provides a recognizable picture at various speeds over
a range of up to 32 times normal speed, in both forward and
reverse, to speed editing operations.
In JOG mode, frame accurate picture search is possible.
These functions are available using the optional DSRM-10
Remote Control Unit or with editing controllers equipped with
RS-422A capability.
*The search speed varies with the type of controllers.
In case of the DSRM-10, the search speed is up to 16 times.
Jog Audio
It is possible to reproduce four channels or two channels of
digital audio from the speed of 1/30 to 1 times normal playback
speed, both in forward and reverse, in the JOG mode. This
feature is helpful for quickly and precisely designating editing
points while monitoring the digital audio signals. The audio
data is held in memory and output according to search speed
for enhanced recognition.
Sony Integrated Remote Control System (SIRCS)
The DSR-80 and the DSR-60 are equipped with a
SIRCS (Sony Integrated Remote Control System)
interface on the front panel, enabling connection
of the optional DSRM-10 Remote Control Unit
for controlling jog, shuttle, playback, record,
pause, fast forward and rewind functions.
Serial Digital Interface (SDI)
The SDI (Serial Digital Interface) which conforms to the
SMPTE broadcast standard, is supported by the optional
DSBK-120 to the DSR-80 and the optional DSBK-100 SDI
Output Board to the DSR-60 for simple connection with other
SDI equipped devices such as D-1 and Digital BETACAM
TM
VTRs.
Convenient Functions for
High Quality Video Playback
Auto Repeat and Power-on Playback Function
(DSR-60 only)
The auto repeat function enables either the entire tape or a
specific portion of the tape to be replayed continuously. By
simply selecting A and B points, or presetting the time codes
on the setup menu, the DSR-60 plays back the selected
segment repeatedly. Furthermore, the power-on function allows
