Sony DSR-11 S-VHS Digital (DV) VCR

Description

Employs the DVCAM format to offer superior video and audio quality and reliability for professional use. It also features the audio lock mode for professional audio editing. At the same time, it is capable of recording and playing back the consumer DV (SP) format (The transition from cut to cut may not be smooth when recorded in the DV format). The DSR-11 weighs only 6 lbs. 2 oz. With its compact design, it can be placed on top of a PC tower or on its side by using the supplied stand. When playing back, the DSR-11 automatically detects the color system of the tape and outputs the signal. When recording through the i.LINK (IEEE-1394) digital interface, the DSR-11 detects the color system signals of the source and records accordingly. When recording through analog input, the color system of the source is set manually through a switch on the back of the unit. An indicator lamp on the front panel shows whether it is recording in NTSC or PAL. The DSR-11 can record two channels of audio with 48 kFs/16 bit or four channels of audio with 32 kFs/12 bit sampling that is selectable through the menu. The DSR-11 is equipped with a 4-pin i.LINK jack that allows digital dubbing with virtually no quality loss. It can be connected to other VTR equipment with this connection as well as to video capture boards that support the DV IN/OUT interface (IEEE 1394). In addition, the DSR-11 can copy timecode through the i.LINK connection from a non-tape source (such as a PC) when recording in the DVCAM mode. For example, if video is edited on a NLE system with a new timecode, that timecode can be copied on the tape when downloading. That way, if the timecode begins intentionally with a large number, it can be copied to the tape.
