Professional Video Production is now seeking more lower-cost equipment that will bring increase in production efficiency and reduction in running cost, due to diversification in service and program contents in alignment with the advent of the DTV era.

Sony introduce the DSR-DR1000P which is the first simple DVCAM hard-disk recorder in the low-cost range. It takes full advantage of benefits of disk-based recording while maintaining the same operational feel as a VTR.

It enables quick and easy handling of recording contents through random access and offers simultaneous recording and playback facilities, allowing the recording to be available immediately for play out and other feeding purposes without interruption. It also offers DMC (-2.0 to +2.0) and network capability for file transfer.

Offering a new level of operational convenience and enhanced creative opportunities, the DSR-DR1000P provides lots of possible applications such as sports reply, playout of 'spots' (commercial insertion), feed editing at broadcast stations, simple back-up disk server and material transfer through network.

Key Benefits:

Compact, simple & low-cost
The half-rack size DSR-DR1000P delivers full benefits of disk-based recording in the low-cost range, such as random access and simultaneous recording & playback, with simple operational feel like a VTR.

6-hour DVCAM recording with loop recording capability
Equipped with a 80 GB internal hard disk drive, the DSR-DR1000P can store up to 6 hours of DVCAM stream video and four channels of audio. The unit also features loop recording, providing an ideal solution for news, medical or security applications, astronomical surveillance and so on.

Easy handling of recording contents with high quality
The DSR-DR1000P enables easy handling of recording contents such as clip segment playback for playout of designated video segments, offering simple VTR-like operation with a jog/shuttle dial. The machine also offers the convenience of high-quality digital jog sound, and smooth slow-motion playback over a wide speed range, +/- 200%.

File transfer capability through i.LINK & network
The DSR-DR1000P supports up to 4x real time file transfer via i.LINK SBP2 protocol into a compatible non-linear editor. It also includes Ethernet connectivity (100Base-T) allowing it to be connected to a LAN or WAN environment. This allows the transfer of DVCAM/DV files across a network between two locations.

Versatile interface
With its wide complement of digital and analogue interfaces, the DSR-DR1000P is equally at home configured for today's production requirements. The unit has i.LINK, SDI, AES/EBU audio and Ethernet connectivity as well as analogue interfaces such as component, composite, S-Video, analogue audio and Time code I/O.
