Remarque sur les pixels défectueux de l’écran LCD

L’écran LCD intégré à cet appareil est fabriqué avec une technologie de haute précision, ce qui permet d’obtenir un taux d’au moins 99,99% de pixels qui fonctionnent. Ainsi, un infime pourcentage de pixels peut être « bloqué », c’est à dire toujours éteint (noir), toujours éclairé (rouge, vert ou bleu), ou clignotant. En outre, après une longue période d’utilisation, en raison des caractéristiques physiques de l’afficheur à cristaux liquides, de tels pixels « bloqués » peuvent apparaître spontanément. Ces problèmes ne sont pas graves. Sachez que de tels problèmes n’ont aucun effet sur les données enregistrées.

Bitte lesen Sie dieses Handbuch vor der Benutzung des Geräts sorgfältig durch und bewahren Sie es zum späteren Nachschlagen auf.

WARNUNG

Um die Gefahr von Bränden oder elektrischen Schlägen zu verringern, darf dieses Gerät nicht Regen oder Feuchtigkeit ausgesetzt werden.

Um einen elektrischen Schlag zu vermeiden, darf das Gehäuse nicht geöffnet werden. Überlassen Sie Wartungsarbeiten stets nur qualifiziertem Fachpersonal.

DIESES GERÄT MUSS GEERDET WERDEN.

Dieses Gerät verfügt über einen Hauptschalter an der Rückseite. Installieren Sie das Gerät so, dass der Benutzer leicht auf den Hauptschalter zugreifen kann. Um das Gerät vollständig abzuschalten, betätigen Sie den Hauptstromschalter auf der Rückseite.

VORSICHT

Aus Sicherheitsgründen nicht mit einem PeripheriegerätAnschluss verbinden, der zu starke Spannung für die NETWORK Buchse haben könnte. Folgen Sie den Anweisungen für diese Buchse.

WARNUNG

1. Verwenden Sie ein geprüftes Netzkabel (3-adriges

Stromkabel)/einen geprüften Geräteanschluss/einen geprüften Stecker mit Schutzkontakten entsprechend den Sicherheitsvorschriften, die im betreffenden Land gelten.

2. Verwenden Sie ein Netzkabel (3-adriges Stromkabel)/

einen Geräteanschluss/einen Stecker mit den geeigneten Anschlusswerten (Volt, Ampere).

Wenn Sie Fragen zur Verwendung von Netzkabel/ Geräteanschluss/Stecker haben, wenden Sie sich bitte an qualifiziertes Kundendienstpersonal.

VORSICHT

Das Gerät ist nicht tropf- und spritzwassergeschützt. Es dürfen keine mit Flüssigkeiten gefüllten Gegenstände, z. B. Vasen, darauf abgestellt werden.

VORSICHT

Solange das Netzkabel an eine Netzsteckdose angeschlossen ist, bleibt das Gerät auch im ausgeschalteten Zustand mit dem Strommetz verbunden.

WARNUNG

Zu hoher Schalldruck von Ohrhörern und Kopfhörern kann Gehörschäden verursachen. Um dieses Produkt sicher zu verwenden, vermeiden Sie längeres Hören bei sehr hohen Schalldruckpegeln.

WARNUNG

Akkus dürfen keinesfalls übermäßiger Wärmeeinwirkung ausgesetzt werden, wie z.B. Sonneneinstrahlung, Feuer o. ä.

Für Kunden in Europa

Dieses Produkt besitzt die CE-Kennzeichnung und erfüllt die EMV-Richtlinie der EG-Kommission. Angewandte Normen:

• EN55103-1: Elektromagnetische Verträglichkeit (Störaussendung)

• EN55103-2: Elektromagnetische Verträglichkeit (Störfestigkeit)

Für die folgende elektromagnetische Umgebung: E4 (kontrollierter EMV-Bereich, z.B. Fernsehstudio).

Für Kunden in Europa

Der Hersteller dieses Produkts ist Sony Corporation, 1-7-1 Konan, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan. Der autorisierte Repräsentant für EMV und Produktsicherheit ist Sony Deutschland GmbH, Hedelfinger Strasse 61, 70327 Stuttgart, Deutschland.

Für Kunden in Europa, Australien und Neuseeland

WARNUNG

Dies ist eine Einrichtung, welche die Funk-Entstörung nach Klasse A besitzt. Diese Einrichtung kann im Wohnbereich Funkstörungen verursachen; in diesem Fall kann vom Betreiber verlangt werden, angemessene Maßnahmen durchzuführen und dafür aufzukommen.

Hinweis zu fehlerhaften Pixeln auf der LCDAnzeige

Die LCD-Anzeige in diesem Geräts wird mit Hochpräzisionstechnologie hergestellt und erzielt so eine effektive Pixelrate von mindestens 99,99 %. Ein sehr geringer Anteil von Pixeln kann jedoch eventuell „hängenbleiben“, entweder immer aus (schwarz), immer an (rot, grün oder blau) oder blinken. Außerdem können nach sehr langem Gebrauch diese „hängengebliebenen“ Pixel spontan auftreten aufgrund der äußeren Eigenschaften der Flüssigkristallanzeige. Diese Probleme stellen keine Fehlfunktion dar. Beachten Sie bitte, dass solche Probleme die aufgezeichneten Daten nicht betreffen.

Chapter 1 Overview

Overview

Features

The SR-R1000 is a storage unit that supports recording and playback from SRMemory cards, the new-generation of high-speed memory cards. Utilizing the high bandwidth and large capacity of the SRMemory card, the SR-R1000 is capable of real-time recording and playback of high-quality images for increased efficiency in live broadcasts, studio and 3D video productions, and any other video production applications.

SRMASTER and SRMemory are trademarks of Sony Corporation.

High-Quality Recording

The SR-R1000 offers high-quality digital recording and playback by incorporating the HDCAM-SR format, MPEG4 SStP (Simple Studio Profile). The unit supports recording and playback of 4:2:2 (10-bit) and RGB 4:4:4 (10-bit) signals. The following compression rates are also supported.

• 220 Mbps (SR-Lite)

•440 Mbps (SR-SQ)

Chapter

Dual-stream support

Each port on the unit supports dual-stream video, which allows each port to handle two streams of video signals. This allows you to record and play back a pair of 3D stereoscopic signals or fill/key signals with just a single port. The unit can also handle RGB 4:4:4 3D video with a single port.

4-channel simultaneous recording/ playback

With the ability to simultaneously record and play back video from four input/output ports, the unit offers high efficiency in video production. You can also select which of the video ports and SRMemory cards you want to use, and access a single memory card from multiple ports simultaneously.

Chasing playback and delay-free data transfer

Using the high-speed SRMemory, you can play back a high-quality video while it is recording to the SRMemory card. In addition, fast processing after a recording operation is complete allows you to quickly eject the SRMemory card and deliver it to post production without delay.

Multiple Ports

The unit supports a maximum of four input/output ports, and comes standard with one output board installed. Based on your production needs and environment, you can replace the existing output board or install optional input/ output boards to flexibly create channel configurations that consist of 2 In/2 Out, 1 In/3 Out, 3 In/1 Out, 4 In, or 4 Out.

Features

Multiple Resolutions

The SR-R1000 supports the 1280 × 720/4:2:2, 1920 × 1080/ 4:2:2, and 1920 × 1080/4:4:4 recording formats.

Large Storage Capacity

The SR-R1000 is equipped with four SRMemory slots. Each slot accepts a memory card of up to 1 TB in storage, providing a total of up to 4 TB in removable storage capacity.

Other Features

• 16-ch audio (uncompressed, 24 bits, 48 kHz) is supported.

• FTP protocol is supported for video data transfer in MXF format via a network.

• Equipped with two network ports that support Gigabit Ethernet.

• Compatible with Sony VTR protocol and Sony Disk protocol, and switcher and controller operations are supported.
