Chapter 1 Overview

The DSR-1/1P is a dockable VCR that uses the DVCAM™ digital recording format. The DSR-1/1P can be combined with a DXC-D30/ D30P/D35/D35P digital video camera or a DXC-637/ 537A/327B series analog video camera. When docked with the DXC-D30/D30P/D35/D35P, the DSR-1/1P functions as a DVCAM digital camcorder.

New Functions as HighPerformance Digital Recording VCR

The DSR-1/1P uses the DVCAM recording format. The internal signal processing is digitalized to provide more stable output signals and higher reliability.

Compatible with consumer DV

A DV cassette recorded on a DV-format VCR can be played back on the DSR-1/1P. (Cassettes recorded in LP mode cannot be played back.)

Creation of clips

Using the ClipLink function, the camera operator can create clips to be used during editing. The images captured at the Mark IN points are recorded in a compressed format onto the tape as “Index Pictures”. In addition, editing point-related data (scene number, time code for Mark IN/OUT points, etc.) is recorded in the cassette memory.

ClipLink mode

To use the ClipLink function, select the menu setting to set the DSR-1/1P into ClipLink mode. There is also a ClipLink continue function that enables clips to be continued even after a break in recording.

PCM digital audio

Recording/playback can be set to audio lock mode. Selectable between two-channel recording (with a sampling frequency of 48 kHz) mode or four-channel recording (with a sampling frequency of 32 kHz) mode (channels 1 and 2 only).

Chapter 1 Overview

DVCAM cassettes

The DSR-1/1P can use both standard-size and minisize DVCAM cassettes. According to cassette size, the DSR-1/1P automatically correct reel position.

The maximum recording/playback times are 184 minutes for standard size cassettes and 40 minutes for mini cassettes.

DVCAM cassettes include a cassette memory. Information about the editing points (ClipLink™ log data) that is specified while shooting is recorded into this cassette memory.

ClipLink™ function

The ClipLink function links all stages from shooting to editing. Once editing points have been set with this function during shooting, they can be used to boost the efficiency of editing work.

Equipped with audio output connectors

During recording or playback, audio output can be monitored via a built-in speaker, a connected earphone or via (two-channel) audio output connectors.

Color playback

Connect an external video monitor for color playback (playback adaptor not required). The DSR-1/1P is equipped with two video monitor connectors: one for composite video output and the other for S-video output.

New Functions as DVCAM Digital Camcorder

The following unique functions are available when you

Chapter 1 Overview

dock the DSR-1/1P with a DXC-D30/D30P/D35/D35P digital video camera.

Freeze mix function

This function superimposes a freeze-frame from the previous recorded scene to facilitate setting up the same framework for a new scene.

Recording of camera setup data

SetupLog™ function

Settings at shooting are recorded onto the tape in real time. This recorded data can then be used to reproduce the same shooting conditions in subsequent shots. It also makes it easier to identify the causes of problems in previous shots.

Audio level adjustable from camera

You can use a knob on the camera’s front panel to adjust the channel 1 audio recording level.

Standard Functions as a Dockable VCR

The DSR-1/1P is equipped with all of the standard functions of conventional dockable VCRs.

Back space editing

Press the VTR button on the camera or lens to link recordings with ±0-frame accuracy. The recording review function or edit search function can be used to ensure continuous recording with the same accuracy even after changing the tape position via playback/fast forward/rewind or after removing the cassette.

SetupNavi™ function

The setup conditions selected using the camera setup menu are recorded onto the tape along with setup file settings. Using this function, the same settings can be reproduced for each recording and the same setup can be shared among several camcorders.

Edit search function

You can operate the search playback function in forward or reverse (two search speeds are available) right from the camera, without having to use the tape transport buttons. This makes it easier to find a recording start point when you restart shooting at any point on the tape.

Time code display on viewfinder screen during playback

The playback time code data can be superimposed on the viewfinder screen.

Playback functions

Monochrome playback of recordings can be seen through the camera’s viewfinder.

The recording review function automatically rewinds and plays back the last few seconds of the recording. Use this function to easily and quickly check recordings.

Built-in time code generator/reader

The internal time code generator can record the time code data that is required for high-precision editing.

Audio recording functions

In addition to using the camera’s built-in microphone, sound can be recorded via a wireless microphone system or an external audio system.

Note for the DSR-1

There are two time code frame modes: drop-frame (DF) mode and non drop-frame (NDF) mode. This product is shipped with drop-frame mode selected.

For details on switching between drop-frame mode and non drop-frame mode, see “Selecting Drop-frame (DF)/Nondrop frame (NDF) mode (for DSR-1) —Menu 204” on page

63.

For details on drop-frame mode and non drop-frame mode, see “Drop-frame mode (for DSR-1 Only)” on page 52.

6 TC (time code) mode switch 1

Selects between resetting the time code value or continuing from the time code value at the end of the previous recording. PRESET: This starts recording time code values on

the tape from the currently set value.

REGEN: This reads the tape’s current time code value

and sets the time code to record starting from that value. This ensures that the tape’s time code will be continuous, even if there is a break in recording. The time code value is advanced in R-RUN mode regardless of the setting on TC mode switch 2 5.

DATE/TIME: This synchronizes the time code to the

real time clock set in the VTR menu (see page 63). In this case the time code of the DSR-1 is recorded in DF (drop-frame mode).

Note

If the ClipLink function is set to on (meaning ClipLink shooting is allowed) in menu 211 and

CONT is

displayed in the display window, regardless of the setting of this switch, the time code generator automatically enters the REGEN mode at recording. (The ClipLink function is factory-set to on.) When you will not perform ClipLink shooting, set the ClipLink function to oFF (see page 67).

Power Supply

The following power supplies can be used with the DSR-1/1P.

•BP-L40/L60A lithium-ion battery pack

•NP-1B Ni-Cd Battery Pack (The DC-L1 Battery Adaptor is required.)

•BP-90A Ni-Cd Battery Pack (The DC-L90 Battery Adaptor is required.)

•AC power (The AC-550/550CE, AC-DN1/DN2A or CMA-8A/8ACE AC Adaptor is required.)

Alternatively, you can make combined use of internal and external batteries, by mounting one of the above batteries as an internal battery and connecting an external battery that can be a BP-90A contained in a DC210 Battery Adaptor and connected to the DC IN connector of the DSR-1/ 1P.

Using a BP-L40/L60A Battery Pack

With a battery pack, the DSR-1/1P will operate continuously for the time shown below.

BP-L40: Approx. 75 minutes BP-L60A: Approx. 150 minutes

Chapter 2 Fitting and Connecting Related Equipment

Before use, charge the battery pack with a BC-L50/L100/L100CE Battery Charger.

Notes on using the battery pack

•A warm battery pack may not be fully recharged.

•Even when fully charged, battery packs gradually lose their charge naturally. Use the battery packs as soon as possible after recharging.

•To prolong the life of battery packs, store them in a cool place (about 20°C (68°F)), and charge in a place with an ambient temperature between 10°C and 30°C (50°F to 86°F).

•Before long-term storage, discharge the battery fully. This extends the battery life.

•It is recommended that the BP-L40 be used at 30 W or less. The specified capacity may not be obtained if the BP-L40 is connected to the DSR-1/1P which is operated with camera and accessories at 30 W or higher, especially when the ambient temperature is low.

•At low temperatures, the usable time of battery packs decreases. When the ambient temperature is 0°C (32°F), usable time decreases by about 10%. (However, the usable time is affected by the power consumption of the DSR-1/1P, camera and accessories in addition to the usage status of the battery packs.) The usable time of battery packs increases if they are warmed to the room temperature (about 20°C (68°F)) before use at low temperatures.

•If you use the BP-L40 at temperatures of 0°C (32°F) or below, when power consumption of the DSR-1/1P, camera and accessories is 40 W or higher (due to using a video light, for example), power may break after a short time (a few minutes). To increase the usable time, store the BP-L40 in a warm place, and power on the DSR-1/1P and camera before the BPL40 cools down.

Chapter 2 Fitting and Connecting Related Equipment

When the external battery begins to fail and an internal battery pack is not used

First load the DSR-1/1P with a fully charged internal battery pack, then remove the DC output cable of the external battery from the DC IN connector. The power source will switch to the internal battery pack. To use an external battery again, connect a fully charged external battery to the DC IN connector before unloading the internal battery pack. The power source will switch to the external battery.

Continuous operation when operating with only an internal battery pack

First, connect a fully charged external battery to the DC IN connector, then change the internal battery.

Notes

•Whenever an internal battery pack is loaded and an external battery is connected to the DC IN connector, the external battery is always used as the power source.

•There may be some noise on the video or audio signal at the instant the power sources are switched.

Cassettes for the DSR-1/1P

The DSR-1/1P can use standard-size and mini-size DVCAM and DV series metal tape cassettes. (To ensure high-quality playback, editing, and storage of recorded contents, we recommend using highly reliable DVCAM cassettes.) The following table lists the cassettes that can be used in the DSR-1/1P.

Model name Size

PDV-64ME/94ME/124ME/184ME Standard size PDVM-12ME/22ME/32ME/40ME Mini size

The numbers in the model names show maximum recording/playback time (minutes) for each model. For example, the maximum recording/playback time of the PDV-184ME is 184 minutes.

Notes

•If you insert an incorrect type of cassette, it will be automatically ejected.

•When using a DV cassette, the maximum recording time is reduced to two-thirds of the time indicated on the cassette. For example, up to 40 minutes of recording can be done on a 60-minute DV cassette.

Notes on using cassettes

Chapter 3 Shooting

•Before storing the cassette, rewind the tape to the beginning and be sure to put the cassette in its storage case, preferably on end instead of flat on its side. The storage case of a DVCAM cassette is specially designed to eusure a long-period storage of the tape. Storing a cassette in any other condition (not rewound, out of its case, etc.) may cause the video and audio contents to become damaged over time.

•If the cassette memory connector (contact point) becomes dirty, connection problems may occur and cause a loss of functions. Remove away any dust or dirt from this area before using the cassette.

•If the cassette is dropped on the floor or otherwise receives a hard impact, the tape may become slackened and may not record and or play back correctly. For instructions on removing tape slack, see next page.

•Follow the instructions on page 39 to insert a cassette, or the DSR-1/1P may be damaged.

Preventing accidental erasure

Set the REC/SAVE switch to SAVE to prevent accidental erasure of recorded contents.

Resuming Recording in ClipLink Mode

During recording pause in ClipLink mode, pressing the STOP/PLAY/F FWD/REW buttons, performing edit search (with the DXC-D30/D30P/D35/D35P), or ejecting the cassette will interrupt the ClipLink shooting. With this state, it is impossible to start back space editing using ClipLink function. (The ClipLink continue mode is canceled and indication display window disappears.) If you resume recording on the same cassette, the previously recorded data will be overwritten.

Cleaning the Video Heads

Always use the special-purpose Sony DVM-12CL Cleaning Cassette for cleaning the audio and video heads. Follow the instructions with the cleaning cassette carefully, as inappropriate use of the cleaning cassette can damage the heads.

Note

The DVM-12CL Cleaning Cassette can be used only once. When the DVM-12CL is loaded in the DSR-1/ 1P, only STOP, PLAY and EJECT buttons function.

Replacing the video heads

If cleaning the video heads fails to restore picture quality, the heads may be due for replacement. Keep a check of the hours of head drum operation: with normal use, the heads should need replacing after about 2,000 hours of use. When the heads need replacement, contact your Sony dealer.

Chapter 7 Maintenance

Check the hours of head drum operation using the VTR menu. For details see “Checking the Total Operating (Power-On) Hours — Menu 201” on page 63.

Condensation

If you move the VCR suddenly from a very cold place to a warm place, or use it in a very humid location, condensation may form on the head drum. If the VCR is operated in this state, the tape may adhere to the drum, and cause a failure or even permanent damage. Take the following steps to prevent this from happening:

•Remove the cassette before moving the unit from a very cold place to a warm place.

•Before inserting a cassette, turn the power on, and check that the HUMID indication is not showing in the display window. If it is showing, wait — do not insert a cassette until the HUMID indication disappears. You can save waiting time if you keep the VCR powered.

For details of cassette insertion and removal, see the section “Shooting” on page 38, and for details of the HUMID indication, see the section “Warning System” on page 72.

Notes on Use

Use and storage locations

Avoid using or storing the unit in the following places:

•Where it is subject to extremes of temperature (outside 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)).

•Note that in summer the temperature in a car with the windows closed can reach 50°C (122°F).

•Very damp or dusty places.

•Where rain is likely to reach the unit.

•Places subject to severe vibration.

•Near strong magnetic fields such as radio or TV transmitters.

Avoid violent impacts

Dropping the unit, or otherwise imparting a violent shock to it, is likely to cause it to malfunction.

Do not cover with cloth

While the unit is in operation, do not cover it with a cloth or other material. This can cause the temperature to rise, leading to a malfunction.

Glossary

Composite video signal

A composite video signal includes a video signal, burst signal, and sync signal.

Condensation

Condensation refers to tiny droplets of water that can appear in a device, such as in the tape transport system. When condensation occurs on a video head drum, the tape may stick to the drum, which can damage not only the tape but also the VCR unit.

Digital VCR

A digital VCR converts analog video signals to digital signals which are recorded onto the video tape. When video signals are recorded and played back in their original analog format, the signal quality may deteriorate due to tape/head misalignment, variation in tape tension, and other causes. By contrast, there is very little signal deterioration when the recorded signals are digital signals that are converted to analog signals for playback.

Drum

See “Head drum”.

External synchronization

External synchronization is when the target device’s operations and signals are synchronized with the operations and signals of a reference device. When a recorder (recording VCR) and player (source VCR) are used in editing, the two devices’ operation timing signals and time code signals are often synchronized.

S video connectors

Input/ouput connectors for separate Y (luminance) and C (chroma) signals. This method eliminates interference between Y and C signals that can occur in conventional composite video signals to obtain a higher-resolution picture.

The search function enables recorded images or time codes to be viewed while the tape is played back at various forward or reverse speeds, as a means of locating a particular scene in the taped program.

Setup

The difference between the reference black level and the blanking level of a composite signal.

Standby-off mode

One of the stop modes. In this mode, head drum rotation is stopped and the tape tension is slackened. It is not possible to switch instantaneously from this mode to recording or playback mode. This mode is not harmful to the tape or heads.

Standby-on mode

One of the stop modes. In this mode, the head drum continues rotating and the tape remains wound onto the drum. This mode enables instantaneous switching to recording or playback mode. To prevent damage to the tape or heads, the device automatically switches from standby-on mode to standby-off mode after a certain period of time.

Time data

This refers either to time data that is generated by a time code generator or time data that is played back from a tape and read by a time code reader.

User bits

These are also referred to as “users’ bits”. The user bits are a 32-bit segment of the time code recording area. The user can select what to record in this segment and how to use the recorded data. For example, it can be used to record date information in addition to the time code data or ID numbers for tape reels or programs.

Gen-lock

Abbreviation of “generator lock”. It refers to the synchronization of a VCR to a reference sync signal.

Head drum

A metal cylinder to which a video head is attached. This drum is rotated at high speeds in synchronization with the sync signal during recording and playback.

PCM audio

PCM stands for “pulse code modulation.” PCM audio means audio signals that have been processed by pulse code modulation. Each analog audio signal is converted into pulses that are generated in rapid succession, and each pulse is recorded as a digital signal having a value of 0 or 1.

Appendix

80 Appendix

Sync

This refers to the sync (synchronization) signal. The sync signal is used as a reference signal for duplicating the scanning patterns recorded via a camera when playing back the recording on a monitor. The sync signal actually includes two signals: a horizontal sync signal and a vertical sync signal.

Time code

The time code is a tape position information signal that includes time and frame data that are recorded onto the tape when shooting so as to facilitate searching of editing point settings and recorded scenes when viewing or editing.
