Audio Level Control
In both recording and playback modes, the audio levels can be
adjusted manually by using the control knobs on the front panel.
Dial Menu Operation
The DSR-2000A incorporates an initial set-up menu that provides
easy accessibility and simplified operation. This set-up menu can be
scrolled and modified with the search dial while monitoring
Composite Video Out 3, SDI Video Out 3 or the time counter display.
Key Inhibit & Rec Inhibit
To help prevent accidental operation, the DSR-2000A is equipped
with Key and Rec Inhibit functions. The Key Inhibit function
disables all keys while the Rec Inhibit function makes it impossible
to record onto a tape.
Flexible Input Selection
For greater flexibility during input selection, the DSR-2000A allows
various combinations* of video and audio signals to be input. It
is possible to select the digital interface for video and the analog
interface for audio.
*When SDTI (QSDI) is selected as the audio input, the video signal is determined
to be SDTI (QSDI). However, when it is selected as the video input, other signal
interfaces can be selected for the audio input.
Universal Powering System
The DSR-2000A employs a universal powering system that enables
the use of AC 100 V to 240 V power sources.
Closed Caption Function
With a built-in closed caption function, the DSR-2000A can record
character data on the video area as video auxiliary data and add it
into the vertical blanking area in playback mode. The closed caption
data is input and output through the composite and SDI interfaces.
Main Features
Extremely Functional
Front Panel Design
Incorporating an ergonomically designed front panel with
a Jog/Shuttle dial and full editing keys, the DSR-2000A
provides a variety of professional features, clearly making
it the leading-edge product in the DSR Series.
Rugged Design Features
Three-size Cassette Compartment
The DSR-2000A
incorporates a
newly designed
three-size cassette
compartment to
ensure compati-
bility with DV (25 Mb/s) format recorded tapes of all
currently existing sizes and types. Thanks to this
feature, it is possible to use standard and mini size
consumer DV and DVCAM cassettes as well as medium
DVCPRO cassettes without any adaptor. The cassette
compartment is also designed for durability,
providing optimum performance in demanding
editing environments.
Quick, Responsive Mechanism
Quick response is an essential requirement for
professional editing and the DSR-2000A provides this
through the use of a reliable direct reel and drum motor
mechanism. For example, in switching STILL mode to
PLAY mode, response is exceptionally quick, especially
for audio playback. Fast forward and rewind speeds
are an impressive 85 times with a maximum search
speed of 60 times during color playback.
Easy Maintenance
The DSR-2000A provides easy servicing and mainte-
nance by incorporating a self-diagnostics function, error
log and hours meter. Also, thanks to its highly durable
drum, the DSR-2000A has an extended drum replace-
ment interval (2,000 hours*).
