NTSC

Since its launch in 1996, DVCAM™ technology has brought many notable
benefits to video professionals. The outstanding picture quality, superb
multigeneration recording and extended recording time for up to three
hours are some of key advantages of working with DVCAM products.
Additionally, the DVCAM format offers excellent playback capability with the
consumer DV format.

Based on the DVCAM format, the Sony DSR Series of recorders and
camcorders offers many advantages: high performance editing capability,
compact shooting packages, system versatility, excellent digital interfacing
and a professional standard of reliability.

The D VCAM Format

Excellent Picture Quality via
Digital Component Recording

The DVCAM format uses 8-bit digital component recording with
a 5:1 compression ratio same as the DV format and a sampling
rate of 4:1:1 to provide excellent picture quality and superb
multigeneration performance.
The DVCAM format is based on an intra-frame compression
scheme which is ideal for editing applications. Based on DCT
(Discrete Cosine Transform) techniques, each frame consists of
10 tracks. Each track has video, audio, ITI (Insert and Track
Information) and sub code areas. ITI, which is a reference

signal used for precise tracking, together with time code on the
sub code area assure highly accurate editing performance.
This technology provides much greater operational flexibility and
facilitates complex multi-layering effects.

High Quality Digital Audio

The DVCAM format also has superior digital audio perfor mance,
with a wide dynamic range and an excellent signal-to-noise ratio
that is comparable to CD quality audio. There are two selectable
audio channel modes: a two-channel mode with 48 kHz/16-bit
recording or a four-channel mode with 32 kHz/12-bit recording.

Playback Compatibility with the DV Format

The DVCAM format is a professional version of the consumer DV
format, maintaining playback compatibility. All DVCAM equipment
is capable of playing back DV recorded* tapes without any
adaptor. A wider track pitch of 15 µm (compared with 10 µm for
consumer DV) gives the DVCAM format higher reliability for
professional editing.

The DV CAM Format

High-speed Data Transfer

The advanced drum mechanism and SDTI(QSDI™) interface
enable degradation-free data transfer and dubbing at four times
normal speed between the DSR-85 VTR and the Sony ES-7
EditStation™ system, or between two DSR-85 VTRs.
This brings a remarkable reduction in the time-consuming
uploading and dubbing process, without loss of picture and
sound quality.

Versatile Digital Interfaces

•SDTI(QSDI)*

The SDTI(QSDI) is a digital interface which handles compressed
video as well as the sub code data and digital audio signals of
the DVCAM format. It allows virtually degradation-free transfer of
both video and audio signals between DSR Series VTRs that
have an SDTI(QSDI) I/O, and between these VTRs and the
ES-7 EditStation system in a non-linear editing configuration.
The SDTI(QSDI) interface ensures that high quality pictures and
sound are maintained during these operations.

* SDTI (Serial Data Transport Interface) is defined in SMPTE 305M.

SDTI(QSDI) is the DV signal interface which conforms to the SDTI standard.
The DSR-60 and DSR-70 VTRs require optional boards for SDTI(QSDI) operation.

•SDI*

SDI (Serial Digital Interface) is the broadcast standard digital
interface. With just a single digital connection, high quality
pictures and sound can be transferred between DSR Series
VTRs with an SDI I/O, and SDI-equipped devices such as
D-1, Digital BETACAM™ and Betacam SX™ VTRs.

* The DSR-85/80/60/70 require optional boards for SDI operation. These optional

boards support digital component video signals.

•i.LINK™* (DV In/Out)

i.LINK is a digital interface based on the IEEE1394 standard.
It offers digital dubbing of video, audio and data, with virtually no
deterioration of image and sound quality and with the simplicity
of a single wire connection between equipment.

* i.LINK stands for IEEE1394-1995 standards and their revisions. is the logo for

products that implement i.LINK.

** The DSR-70 requires an optional board for i.LINK (DV In/Out) operation.

ClipLink™ Operation

ClipLink is a unique Sony system which conveys shooting data
into the digital production process. During acquisition with the
DSR-130 or DSR-300 Camcorder, the time code data of the
in-point and out-point of each shot is recorded in the Cassette
Memory of the DVCAM tape. At the same time, a still frame of
each in-point, called the ‘Index Picture’, is recorded on the DVCAM
tape to provide visual information associated with the time code.
When a cassette is loaded into the DSR-85, DSR-80, DSR-60 or
DSR-70 VTR interfaced with the Sony EditStation system, all of its
shot log information is loaded into an EditStation system and
appears on the
display.
This visual
information
enables users
to quickly
select the shots
they need to
upload to the
hard disk of an
EditStation.

superb quality pictures and a low error rate.
DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) protective layer
provides the enhanced protection of the tape
surface which is essential to avoid the
possibility of damage during long editing
sessions. Finally, DVCAM tape provides a
low frequency of dropouts and superior
thermal stability. Cassettes are available with
or without an IC Cassette Memory.
This 16 kbit Cassette Memory stores ClipLink
Log Data and Index Pictures which can
enhance editing efficiency.

Up to Three-hour Recording
Capability

DVCAM video cassette tapes are available in

two sizes: standard and mini.
Recording time of up to 184 minutes is provided with a standard
size cassette and up to 40 minutes with a mini
size cassette. These long recording times are
achieved in very compact cassettes
with a tape width of only
1/4 inch (6.35 mm).

* The DSR-200A Camcorder accepts a standard size cassette only.

Excellent Performance from
Professional DVCAM Tapes

To gain maximum performance from high density digital
recording, advanced Metal Evaporated tape technology has

been developed for the DVCAM
format. The use of Sony’s pure cobalt
advanced evaporated coating gives
both high output and high C/N
(Carrier-to-Noise) ratio, resulting in

Remote Control Interfaces for
High Performance Editing

•RS-422A

An RS-422A remote control interface is used for professional
editing. It allows for these VTRs to interface not only with the
EditStation system but also with Sony VTRs and editing
controllers that have the same interface. RS-422A is also used to
transfer ClipLink Log Data from the DVCAM Cassette Memory to
the EditStation system.

•LANC

A LANC interface makes it easy to perfor m simple edits using
other LANC-based devices including consumer DV products
that have high editing accuracy (±5 frames).

Full Compatibility with Analog Equipment

•Analog Interfaces

The DSR Series is compatible with current analog video
equipment. With analog interfaces for both video and audio, the
DSR Series VTRs interface with conventional analog equipment
such as Betacam SP

®

, S-VHS and Hi-8 VTRs, facilitating a
smooth and gradual migration to a future digital system.
Composite, component* and S-Video connections are provided
for video. Four channel or two channel (selectable) inputs and
outputs are provided for audio.

* The DSR-30, DSR-20 and DSR-V10 are not equipped with a component interface.

The DSR-70 requires an optional board for analog component.

•Dual Interface Mechanism

The DSR-1 Dockable Recorder has both Pro 76-pin Digital and
Pro 50-pin connectors. These connections allow direct
connection with several
alternative Sony digital and
analog cameras:
DXC-D30, DXC-D30WS,
DXC-637, DXC-537,
DXC-537A, DXC-327A and
DXC-327B. This feature allows
the DSR-1 to be configured
with a variety of different
cameras to suit particular
applications.

Dual-size Cassette Mechanism

The above VTRs and camcorders all have a dual-size cassette
mechanism which accepts both standard and mini size
cassettes without any adaptor.
In the case of the DSR-1, this is a technological first for
professional camcorders.
