Features
The DSR-80/80P is a
1
/ 4 -inch digital video cassette
recorder that uses the DVCAM digital recording
format. This system achieves stable, superb picture
quality by digitally processing video signals that are
separated into color difference signals and luminance
signals (component method).
The DSR-80/80P unit is equipped with the variety of
functions that are needed for videocassette recorders
and players used in professional digital video editing
systems. It supports the ClipLink™ function
developed by Sony Corporation for highly efficient
video editing. When connected to a Sony
EditStation™, the unit serves as part of a powerful
non-linear editing system
1)
.
The unit is also equipped with a full-fledged analog
interface to support hybrid systems that combine
conventional analog equipment with digital equipment.
The DSR-80/80P’s main features are described below.
DVCAM Format
DVCAM is based on the consumer DV format, which
uses the 4:1:1 component digital format, and provides
a
1
/ 4 -inch digital recording format for professional use.
High picture quality, high stability
Video signals are separated into color difference
signals and luminance signals, which are encoded and
compressed to one-fifth size before being recorded to
ensure stable and superb picture quality.
Because the recording is digital, multi-generation
dubbing can be performed with virtually no
deterioration of quality.
Wide track pitch
The recording track pitch is 15 µm, fully 50 percent
wider than the DV format’s 10-µm track pitch. Thanks
to this feature, the DVCAM format sufficiently meets
the reliability and precision requirements of
professional editing.
High-quality PCM digital audio
PCM recording makes for a wide dynamic range and a
high signal-to-noise ratio, thereby enhancing sound
quality.
There are two recording modes: 2-channel mode (48-
kHz sampling and 16-bit quantization), which offers
sound quality equivalent to the DAT (Digital Audio
Tape) format, or 4-channel mode (32-kHz sampling
and 12-bit quantization).
Playback compatibility with DV format
A DV cassette recorded on a DV-format VCR can be
played back on this unit. (Cassettes recorded in LP
mode cannot be played back.)
Choice of two cassette sizes
The unit can use both standard-size and mini-size
DVCAM cassettes.
•According to cassette size, it automatically changes
the position of the reel drive plate.
•The maximum recording/playback times are 184
minutes for standard size cassettes and 40 minutes for
mini-size cassettes.
Chapter 1 Overview

1) Non-linear editing
This is an editing method that uses video and audio
signals that have been digitally encoded and recorded on
a hard disk as digital data. When compared with
conventional (linear) editing methods, non-linear editing
offers vastly improved efficiency in editing operations,
such as by eliminating tape transport time.

A Wealth of Interfaces
Digital interfaces
The unit provides the following two digital interfaces.
•SDTI (QSDI)
1)
: This interface enables SDTI (QSDI)-
format video, audio and time code signals to be
transferred between this unit and the Sony EditStation
at normal speed.
•AES/EBU interface : This interface enables AES/
EBU-format digital audio signals to be input and
output.
As an option, you can also use the SDI (Serial Digital
Interface) as an interface for D1 (component) format
digital video and audio signals.
Analog interfaces
The unit also comes with analog interfaces enabling it
to be connected to analog video and audio equipment.
•Analog video : These interfaces include a component
interface (can be switched to RGB), composite
interface, and S-video interface.
•Analog audio : 4-channel input and 4-channel output
are both provided.
Facilities for High-efficiency
Editing
The unit provides an abundance of functions that
enhance editing efficiency and precision.
Supports ClipLink function
In response to commands sent from the EditStation,
index pictures that are recorded on tape or ClipLink
log data that is recorded in the cassette memory can be
transferred to the EditStation. The EditStation
operator can then efficiently use these pictures and
data in a preliminary editing session.
For more information about the ClipLink function, refer to
the “ClipLinkGuide” also supplied with this unit.
Internal time code generator/reader
The unit contains a time code generator/reader which
can generate and read longitudinal time code (LTC) in
the SMPTE format (DSR-80) or EBU format (DSR-
80P), to ensure frame-accurate editing.
When the unit is equipped with an optional DSBK-
130/130P Time Code Input/Output Board, it can
output the time code read from tape as analog (LTC)
signal, and receive externally generated time code
(LTC).
Remote control
The unit can be operated by remote control from an
editing controller that supports the RS-422A interface
or from on optional SIRCS
2)
-system remote controller
such as the DSRM-10 or SVRM-100A.
High-speed search function
The unit has a picture search function that allows you
to view color picture at playback speeds up to 32 times
normal speed in forward and reverse directions.
When remote-controlling this unit in shuttle mode
from an editing controller or a remote controller, you
can search at any speed in the range 0 (still) to 32
times normal in both directions. You can also search
frame-by-frame in jog mode.
At search speeds up to 5 times normal, you can also
hear playback audio.
........................................................................................................................................................................................................
1) QSDI is a type of SDTI.
SDTI is the name of a standard interface established as
SMPTE 305M.
This unit uses SDTI to transmit DV data, and the input/
output connectors are labeled “SDTI(QSDI)”.
In indicator and menu indications, however, the
“SDTI(QSDI)” name is shortened to “QSDI”.
In the remainder of this manual, the short form (“QSDI”)
is used.
2) SIRCS (Sony Integrated Remote Control System)
A command protocol to remote control Sony
professional videocassette recorders/players.

frame or field-by-field playback of still pictures is also
possible.
Jog audio function
When in jog mode, audio can be monitored at
playback speeds ranging from normal to
1
/ 30 normal in
both directions. The audio signals are once stored in
memory and then played back at the same rate as the
search speed. This allows you to use audio playback
to find the desired edit points.
Built-in TBC (Time Base Corrector)
A digital TBC is built in to ensure jitter-free video
output during analog editing.
Other Features
