The DV compression algorithm provides excellent picture quality and superb multigenerational performance. * The DSR-1500 offers superb PCM digital audio performance with a wide dynamic range and an excellent signal-to-noise ratio. There are two selectable audio recording modes: 2CH mode with 48 kHz/16-bit or 4CH mode with 32 kHz/12-bit. * Excellent playback compatibility of DV (25Mbps) format recordings is also note worthy. The DV formats include DVCAM, DV (SP mode only) and DVCPRO 25. These tapes can be played back and utilized directly as editing materials with +/-0 Frame accuracy. * Triple-positioning cassette compartment automatically accepts DVCPRO M-size cassette tapes in addition to standard and mini size cassette tapes of DV, DVCAM and DVCPRO. Cassette insertion is done without the need to attach an external adapter, or without the need to set the playback format mode before use. * This device is, as earlier alluded to, a half-rack size, 3U high. With such compact design, the DSR-1500 can be easily installed in a variety of applications. Ideal uses include as an editor/ feeder for desktop nonlinear editing systems, or for installations in confined spaces, such as OB vehicles. * Possesses a variable speed playback function with a range of -0.5 to +0.5 times normal speed. Within this range, the unit can play back digital noiseless slow motion pictures and jog sound. This makes it possible to locate editing points quickly and accurately. This feature is available for all DV (25Mbps) format recorded tapes. * The DSR-1500 is equipped with an RS-422A remote control connection to interface with the other RS-422A equipment. i.LINK based control is also available by installing the optional DSBK-1503 board. Frame accurate editing is possible through either interface. * Audio levels can be adjusted with the control knobs on the front panel in either the record or playback mode. * A comprehensive range of analog output interfaces for both video and audio: composite, component, S-Video (Y/C) for video, and two channels of audio (via XLR connectors) are all standard. (Composite, component, or S-Video are selectable through the menu.) * The iLINK (IEEE 1394) cable enables a single cable to simultaneously carry digital video and audio signals, as well as data and control signals, with practically no quality deterioration. * By integrating the DSR-1500 into a non-linear editing (NLE) system which supports ClipLink operation, the VTR is able to send ClipLink information data onto the NLE unit, providing great efficiency throughout the editing process. * This system is also equipped with process control for both analog and digital outputs through the VTR menu. Said feature helps to provide the unit with highly stable video signals. Composite, S-Video, component and SDI outputs can be controlled with the Process Control. * Supports both time code in the tape's sub code area, and also VITC through all video signal interfaces. * Equipped with a built-in signal generator, the DSR-1500 can generate color bars or black burst for video, and 1 kHz tone or mute signal for audio. * Closed Caption signals can be recorded and played back through analog and SDI interfaces. * The Control S (SIRCS) interface enables connection to the DSRM-10 remote controller Unit for remote control, including Jog/Shuttle operation. * A picture search function is provided by use of the menu keys on the front panel. By pressing the left and right buttons, search speed of 10 times normal speed is available both in forward and reverse. The up and down buttons allow frame by frame picture search in forward and reverse. Also, search speed of 0.5 times is possible by continuously pressing these buttons. * The DSR-1500 employs a universal powering system to handle AC 100V to 240V, 50 or 60 Hz. The built-in regulator switches the unit to the appropriate voltage automatically. This allows the DSR-1500 to be used worldwide without the need for a transformer. * Auto repeat function is available through the VTR menu setting. Designated time code can also be set as start and stop points. * Power Requirements: AC 100-240V, 50/60 Hz * Power Consumption: Approx. 60 W (with all options) * Dimensions (WxHxD): 8 3/8" x 5 1/8 x 16 5/8 inches * Weight: 13 lb. 3 oz * Operating Temperature: 41°F to 104°F * Storage Temperature: -4°F to 140°F * Operating relative humidity: Less than 80% * Storage Relative Humidity: Less than 90% * Tape Speed: 28.193 mm/s * Recording/Playback Time: Standard size: More than 184 min. with PDV-184MEMini size: More than 40 min. with PDVM-40ME * FF/REW Time: Standard size: Less than 3 minutesMini size: Less than 1 minutes * Search Speed: Max. 60 times normal speed, forward and reverse via RS-422A * Reference Video Input: BNC x 2, loop-through connection 0.286 Vp-p, 75W, sync negative * Audio Input: XLR 3-pin female x 2 * Time code Input: BNC x 1 * Composite Output: BNC x 3 0.286 Vp-p, 75W, sync negative * Component Output: BNC x 3 Luminance: 1.0 Vp-p, 75W, sync negative Chrominance R-Y: 0.7 Vp-p, 75W B-Y: 0.7 Vp-p, 75W * S-Video Output: BNC x 2 Y: 1.0Vp-p, 75W, sync negative C: 0.286Vp-p, 75W (at burst level) * Audio Output: XLR 3-pin male x 2 * Audio Monitor Output: RCA Phono jack x 1 * Headphone Jack: JM-60 stereo phone jack x 1 * AES/EBU Output: BNC x 2 Conforms to AES-3id-1995 * Time Code Output: BNC x 1 * RS-422A: D-sub 9-pin x 1 * Control S (SIRCS): Stereo mini jack x 1 Place a Bid!
