DVCAM Compact Digital VTR with 2.5" LCD. This new recorder enhances the capabilities of the previous DSR-45 by offering a larger 2.5” (viewable area, measured diagonally) color LCD video monitor. All other features and specifications remain the same as the previous DSR-45A. This front-loading VTR accepts both standard and mini size cassettes, and its half-rack design allows the DSR-45A to be easily integrated into existing linear and non-linear editing systems. The DSR-45A is also an ideal VTR for those looking to move from analog based formats to a professional grade digital format with a simple yet robust migration path.

Key Features:

DVCAM and DV Format Compatible
Incorporates the DVCAM format offering superior video and audio quality for broadcast and professional use. Also capable of recording and playing the consumer DV format (SP mode only), allowing a maximum of 270 minutes of recording time (DVCAM format: maximum 184 minutes)

Compact Size
Space-saving half-rack size width and two unit (2U) height.

Standard and MiniDV Cassette Size Compatible
The DSR-45A accommodates the two industry standard sizes of DVCAM and DV videocassette tapes; standard size and miniDV size

Analog Component Video IN/OUT
The DSR-45A has both an analog component input and output, allowing a versatile interface with current analog equipment and systems.

4-Channel Separate Audio IN/OUT
The DSR-45A has four independently selectable audio channels for simultaneous recording. Audio output consists of four XLR connectors, and audio input consists of four PIN (RCA) connections.

Tape Counter Display
The DSR-45A has a digital tape counter display equipped on the front panel, convenient for performing relative time code data editing and monitoring the operation of the unit.

Time Code IN/OUT
The DSR-45A is equipped with time code IN/OUT capabilities, enabling synchronization with external equipment. The unit can output the time code read from the tape as an analog signal when played back at normal speed, and can also receive an analog time code signal from external sources.

Time Code / User Bit Preset (for DVCAM Mode only)
The initial time code can be preset using the internal time code generator. User bits can be preset to store alphanumeric data such as date, time, scene number, and other user information.

Time Code Recording via DV IN
When recording through i.LINK, the time code o the original source can be recorded on to the tape, making it suitable for downloading non-linear edited sources with its original time code.

RS-422A Interface
The DSR-45A is equipped with the professional industry standard RS-422A 9-pin control interface. This interface allows the DSR-45 to be controlled as a player or feeder into linear and non-linear editing systems. (NOTE: The DSR-45 cannot be controlled as a recorder by RS-422A.)

RS-232C Interface
The DSR-45A is equipped with RS-232C control interface, allowing the basic VTR functions to be controlled from a PC platform control system. (NOTE: An RS-232C protocol manual is supplied with the DSR-45. Operation compatibility is dependent on third party system developers.)

Color Bar Generation
Built-in color bar generators are accessible through the user menu. (NOTE: The color bar is not compatible to SMPTE Standards.)

DUB Key
Dubbing has just been made easier with a convenient front panel dub key. When connected to another VTR or camcorder with the i.LINK (DV I/O) connection, a simple push of a button allows dubbing of the original tape and its time code.

i.LINK (DV In/Out)
The 4-pin i.LINK IEEE 1394 DV I/O connection allows digital dubbing and editing with virtually no quality loss. The IEEE 1394 DV I/O enables connection to compatible third party video cameras, camcorders, VTRs, computers and video capture boards that support the DV In/Out interface for desktop editing. (NOTE: i.LINK connection compatibility must be verified by third party manufacturer.)
