Overview
Features
The DSR-2000/2000P is a
1
/
4 -inch digital videocassette
recorder using the DVCAM
TM
digital recording format.
It uses a component video system, with separate
luminance and chrominance signals and digital
processing to realize a stable, high image quality.
This unit is equipped with a variety of functions
needed for videocassette recorders and players used in
video editing. By combining two units, you can easily
assemble a cut editing system. It is also equipped with
full-fledged analog and digital interfaces to support
hybrid systems that combine conventional analog
equipment with digital equipment. Furthermore, it
supports the Sony-developed ClipLink
TM
function,
improving operating efficiency when combined with a
Sony EditStation
TM
.
The following are the principal features of the unit.
DVCAM Format
DVCAM is a professional
1
/ 4 -inch digital recording
format developed by Sony from the consumer DV
component digital format (4:1:1 for DSR-2000/4:2:0
for DSR-2000P).
High image quality and high stability
The luminance and chrominance signals are encoded
separately, with a
1
/
5 compression, giving a stable high
quality video image.
Since this is a digital system, nth-generation copies
created by repeated dubbing show virtually no loss in
picture quality.
Wide track
The recording track width is 15 µm, 50% wider than
the 10 µm of the DV format. This ensures adequate
reliability for professional use.
PCM digital audio for high sound quality
The PCM encoding method yields a high audio
quality, with wide dynamic range and high signal-to-
noise ratio.
There are two recording modes: two-channel mode
(48-kHz sampling and 16-bit quantization), which
offers sound quality equivalent to the DAT (Digital
Audio Tape) format, or four-channel (32-kHz
sampling and 12-bit quantization).
Playback compatibility with DV and
DVCPRO formats
A DV cassette recorded on a DV format VCR as well
as a DVCPRO(25M) format recorded cassette can be
played back on this unit.
Note
When playing back a tape recorded in DVCPRO
(25M) format, the SDTI and i.LINK outputs (see the
section “Digital interfaces” on the next page) of this
unit are muted. Furthermore, it is not possible to
playback the cue-audio track of the tape.

Support for three cassette sizes
There are two sizes of DVCAM cassette: standard and
mini. You can use either size with this unit.
The unit also accepts L and M sizes of DVCPRO
cassette.
•The reel mechanism automatically adjusts to the size
of cassette inserted.
•The capacity of a standard cassette is 184 minutes of
recording/playback, and that of a mini cassette is 40
minutes.
Variety of Interfaces
Digital interfaces
The unit can use the following digital interfaces.
• SDTI (QSDI)
1)
This interface allows video, audio and time code
signals in SDTI (QSDI) format to be transferred at
normal speed between this unit and the ES-7
EditStation. When this unit is connected to another
DVCAM VCR, it is possible to copy compressed
signals between the two VCRs.
• SDI
2)
This interface allows the unit to input or output D1
(component) digital video and audio signals.
• AES/EBU
This interface allows the unit to input or output
digital audio signals in AES/EBU format.
• i.LINK (DV)
3)
(Optional DSBK-190 i.LINK/DV
Input/Output Board)
When the unit is fitted with the optional DSBK-190
i.LINK/DV Input/Output Board using i.LINK
technology, it can input and output digital video and
audio signals in DV format.
•SDTI-CP output (Optional DSBK-210 SDTI-CP
Output Board)
This interface allows the unit to provide an output of
I-frame pictures only (50/40/30 Mbps) complying to
MPEG2 4:2:2 Profile @Main Level. You can connect
the unit to an MPEG supporting device equipped with
an SDTI-CP input.
Note
You cannot install both of the DSBK-190 and DSBK-
210 on the unit at a time.
Analog interfaces
A wide range of analog interfaces is provided,
allowing this unit to be connected to various video and
audio devices.
•Analog video: Composite, component and S-video
interfaces are provided.
•Analog audio: There are four input channels and
four output channels. There is also support for
microphone input.
Connection to external control devices
It is possible to connect a PVE-500, RM-450/450CE,
FXE-100/100P/120/120P, BVE-900/910/2000/9000/
9000P/9100/9100P or other editor equipped with an
RS-422A interface, or a UVR-60/60P remote
controller for the built-in digital video processor, and
so forth.
Full Functionality for More
Efficient Editing
This unit has a number of functions which assist in
efficient and precise editing.
With two DSR-2000/2000P units together, you can
carry out automatic or manual editing, using either
assemble or insert editing.
The system also provides a powerful range of
functions for setting and amending edit points,
preview, review, and other aspects of efficient editing.
DMC (dynamic motion control) editing
You can save a varying speed, in the range −1 to +1
times normal speed
4)
, for an editing segment, and
automatically edit with this varying speed.
1) SDTI (QSDI): SDTI (Serial Data Transport Interface) 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 labled “SDTI(QSDI)”.
In indicator and menu indications, however, the
“SDTI(QSDI)”name is shortened to “SDTI”.
.........................................................................................................................................................................................
2) SDI: Serial Digital Interface is used for transferring video
signals in component digital format (D1).
3) is a trademark of Sony Corporation and indicates that
this product is in agreement with IEEE1394-1995
specifications and their revisions.
4) The positive direction refers to forward movement of the
tape, and the negative direction to reverse movement.

Split editing
In insert editing, this allows the audio IN and OUT
points to be set separately from the video IN and OUT
points.
Preread editing
The audio or video on the tape can be read out using
the preread heads. The signals then can be processed
and rerecorded where they have been.
Cross-fade editing
For audio editing, you can select from cut-in editing,
fade-in/fade-out editing, and cross-fade editing.
Support for ClipLink function
This unit accepts instructions from an EditStation, to
transfer to the EditStation ClipLink log data held in the
cassette memory or index pictures recorded on the
tape. On the EditStation you can use these images and
data to carry out editing operations efficiently.
•Displaying ClipLink log data
•Changing ClipLink log data OK/NG status
•Cuing up to Mark IN and cue points provided by
ClipLink log data
•For cut editing, copying Mark IN data from ClipLink
log data
For an overview of the ClipLink function, see the appendix
“ClipLink Guide”(page 147).
Internal time code generator and reader
An internal timecode generator and reader enables
timecode compliant with SMPTE/EBU format to be
recorded and played back. This allows editing to single
frame precision.
Outputting or inputting timecode (LTC) to or from an
external device is also possible using the TIME CODE
IN/OUT connectors.
The unit is also compatible with VITC.
High-speed search function
You can carry out a picture search while playing back
in color within the range +60 to –60 times normal
speed.
When controlling the unit in shuttle mode from an
editor or remote control unit, you can search at any
speed in the range +60 to –60 times normal speed. In
jog mode a frame by frame search is possible. During
playback in the range +10 to –10 times normal speed,
high-speed audio playback is also possible.
Digital slow motion playback
Using the frame memory function, noiseless slow
motion playback is possible at any speed in the range
+1 to –1 times normal speed.
Digital jog sound function
When searching at speeds in the range +1 to +
1
/ 30
or
–
1
/ 30
to –1 times normal speed, the digital jog sound
function is enabled. The audio signal is saved in
temporary memory, and replayed according to the
search speed. This allows searching on the sound
track.
Video process control
For analog video output and SDI-format video output,
you can adjust the video output level, chroma signal
output level, setup level (for DSR-2000), black level
(for DSR-2000P), and chroma phase.
