Chapter 1 Overview

Chapter 1 Overview

Features

The SR-R1 is a portable memory recorder of the SRMASTER series that has 1.5G/3G SDI Dual Link input/output and uses the newly developed SRMemory card for recording media.
SRMASTER and SRMemory are trademarks of Sony Corporation.
High Quality Recording
Support for SR-SQ (440 Mbps) and SR-Lite (220 Mbps) is provided as standard. The optional SRK-R311 is also available (sold separately) to enable support for SR-HQ (10-bit/ 12-bit, 880 Mbps) and uncompressed DPX recording. There is 16-channel (uncompressed, 24-bit, 48 kHz) support for audio.
camcorders, so recording can be linked to Rec/ Stop on the camera side.
HDW-F900R/650 dockable operation
The SR-R1 supports dockable operation with the HD CAM camcorder HD W-F900R/650 equipped with HD SDI output, using the Docking Plate SRK-R302 (sold separately).
Use as PMW-F3 storage
The SR-R1 can be used as high-quality online storage for the Digital Cinema Recorder PMW­F3. Simultaneous recording on the SxS memory card in the PMW-F3 and the SRMemory card is possible. By synching delay and time code information on both media, an efficient workflow can be assured.
RGB 4:4:4/60p/3D Creation
The SR-R1 is equipped with 1.5G/3G SDI Dual Link and includes recording capabilities such as 60p of RGB 4:4:4 and 3D (L/R) to enable support for various scenes.
SR Motion
The SR Motion function and Timer/Cache Rec functions are incorporated as standard, enabling recordings with slow and quick motion effects while maintaining high image quality.
RS-422A Interface
Connect the supplied cable to the REMOTE connector to enable external RS-422A control.
HD SDI Remote
Support is provided for the HD SDI Remote function that is incorporated in many Sony

Turn Power On

• The voltage shown is the actual voltage used by the unit (this may be lower than the input voltage and the DC IN connector).
When a battery pack is selected
The battery symbol is shown.
Chapter 2 Preparation
To power up the unit
1 When using the AC adapter, turn
power to the AC adapter on.
2 Press the power switch on the SR-R1 on
the ? side.
Power comes on and the POWER indicator lights up in green.
To power down the unit
1 Press the power switch on the SR-R1 on
the 1 side.
Power is turned off and the POWER indicator goes out.
2 When using the AC adapter, turn
power to the AC adapter off.
Note
To prevent the risk of data corruption, do not interrupt the DC IN power supply while the SR-R1 is turned on.
Tip
If power is turned off while an SRMemory card is mounted, the unit will not power down immediately, to protect the data on the card. The SRMemory card will be unmounted first, and then the unit powers down.
16.5V
• When fully charged, all seven segments are lit. As the battery pack discharges, the segments go out from left to right.
• When the battery pack is almost exhausted (NEAR END), the voltage indication and the tally indicator start to flash, and an intermittent warning tone sounds in the earphones.
• When the battery pack is completely exhausted (END), the corresponding warning indication lights, the tally indicator starts to flash at a higher rate, and the earphones warning tone sounds continuously.
Tip
The DCIN TYPE option in the SYSTEM Setup menu allows you to set the battery voltages which trigger the NEAR END and END warnings. (see page 83)
When AC power is selected
The connector symbol is shown.
16.5V
Checking the power/voltage
The indication at the bottom left of the control panel display serves to verify the battery status or the voltage of the external power supply.
However, this indication is not based on the actual connection condition but on the setting made under SYSTEM Setup > BATTERY > DCIN TYPE. (see page 83) Set DCIN TYPE to match the pow er supply being used.
Tips
• When signal format and SR Motion are shown, the indication appears at bottom right. (see page 14)

Pressing this button causes the SRMemory card to pop out.

Formatting an SRMemory Card (File System Format )

SRMemory cards are sold already formatted, so you can use a newly purchased SRMemory card right away. To format an SRMemory card on which data were recorded, proceed as follows.
Note
Formatting will erase all files and data on the SRMemory card.
For details on menu operation, see “Basic Menu Operations” (page 25).
1 Press the SYSTEM button.
The SYSTEM Setup menu appears.
2 Select and confirm “SRMEMORY” t
select and confirm “FS FORMAT” t move the cursor to [OK] and confirm.
The file system formatting process starts. When the process is finished, the indication “Completed” is shown.
3 Return to the HOME screen. (see
page 26)
Write-protecting the card
In order to prevent inadvertent erasure of recorded content, you can slide the write protect switch to “WP.”
Write protect switch Slide fully to the right.
When the card is inserted in the SR-R1 in this condition, the indication “REC INHI” appears, and recording is not possible. To re-enable recording on this card, return the write protect switch to the original condition.
