DSR-1500A
For maximum versatility in playback, the DVCAM VTRs are
designed to playback DVCAM and DV (SP mode) tapes without
a mechanical adaptor or menu adjustment. The DVCAM
Master Series VTRs (DSR-2000A/1800A/1600A/1500A) support

tape playback*, and the DSR-2000A even supports
DV (LP mode) playback. Furthermore, it is possible to use
these tapes directly as editing source material, improving
productivity.

DSR-11
In the event a longer recording time is required, the above
DVCAM camcorder and VTRs are also designed to record in
the DV Format. Thanks to this feature, recording of up to 276
minutes is possible with a standard-size cassette and 60
minutes with a mini-size cassette.
* The transition from cut to cut may not be smooth when recorded in DV (SP)
format. In between scenes where the recording format is changed from DV to
DVCAM, or vice versa, transition may not be smooth. Not available for editing.
• Audio Cross-fade Capability
DSR-2000A
DSR-1800A
Preread heads on the DSR-2000A and DSR-1800K VTRs also
provide an audio cross-fade capability with clean audio
transitions at editing points. During audio insert editing, the
previously recorded audio signal is read out by preread heads,
cross-faded with the VTR audio input signal and recorded back
onto the same track. This provides excellent audio cross-fade
editing performance without audio clicks at edit points and
provides high quality audio to complement the video
performance.
Note: Unless otherwise noted, all references to specific models refer to both the
NTSC and PAL versions. (i.e., DSR-450WS refers to the DSR-450WS and the DSR-
450WSP)

Excellent Editing Performance
• Preread Editing Capability*
DSR-2000A
The DSR-2000A VTR offers preread editing, a function never before
available on a 1/4-inch (6.35 mm) VTR. Preread heads are positioned
ahead of the record heads on the drum to scan previously recorded video
and audio signals. These signals can then be sent to a character
generator, a video switcher and/or an audio mixer, combined with signals
from another source, and then recorded back onto the same tracks.
Preread editing provides many advantages since it enables
single-VTR titling, audio mix/swap and voice over with no delay between
video and audio. In addition, A/B roll editing with two VTRs is available
(MIX and WIPE only).
* Not available for SDTI (QSDI
) and i.LINK (DV) interfaces as these handle
compressed signals.

• Enhanced Digital Jog Audio
DSR-2000A
DSR-1800A
DSR-1600A
DSR-1500A
A digital jog audio function is included in the Master Series VTRs
with a range of –1 to +1 (DSR-2000A) or -0.5 to +0.5
(DSR-1800A/1600A/1500A) times normal speed. With its quick
and smooth response, locating editing points is very easy. This
is a particularly important feature for ENG applications that
usually require audio-based editing. Moreover, this function is
even available on the master series VTRs when using DV and
DVCPRO tapes.
Versatile Digital Interfaces
• SDI (Serial Digital Interface)*
DSR-450WS**
DSR-2000A
DSR-1800A** DSR-1600A** DSR-1500A**
With SDI, high-quality picture and sound can be transferred
between the above DVCAM camcorders, DVCAM VTRs and
SDI-equipped devices.
* The SDI used in DVCAM camcorders and DVCAM VTRs supports digital
*
component video signals.
** The DSR-450WS/1800A/1600A/1500A require an optional board for SDI.
• SDTI (QSDI)*
DSR-2000A
DSR-1500A**
SDTI (QSDI) is a digital interface in the DSR-2000A and the
DSR-1500A VTRs that handles compressed video as well as the
sub-code data and digital audio signals of the DV/DVCAM
formats. It allows virtually degradation-free transfer of both
video and audio signals between SDTI (QSDI) equipped VTRs.
* SDTI (Serial Data Transport Interface) is defined as SMPTE 305M.
SDTI (QSDI) is the DV compressed signal interface defined as SMPTE 322M.
** The DSR-1500A require an optional board for SDTI (QSDI).
