Cassettes For The Dsr-1/1P - Sony DSR-1/1P Operating Instructions Manual

Cassettes for the DSR-1/1P

DVCAM cassettes
The DSR-1/1P can use standard-size and mini-size DVCAM and DV
series metal tape cassettes. (To ensure high-quality playback, editing, and
storage of recorded contents, we recommend using highly reliable
DVCAM cassettes.)
The following table lists the cassettes that can be used in the DSR-1/1P.
Model name
PDV-64ME/94ME/124ME/184ME
PDVM-12ME/22ME/32ME/40ME
The numbers in the model names show maximum recording/playback time
(minutes) for each model. For example, the maximum recording/playback
time of the PDV-184ME is 184 minutes.
Notes
• If you insert an incorrect type of cassette, it will be automatically ejected.
• When using a DV cassette, the maximum recording time is reduced to
two-thirds of the time indicated on the cassette. For example, up to 40
minutes of recording can be done on a 60-minute DV cassette.
The following figure illustrates the DVCAM cassette's appearance.

Cassette memory
REC/SAVE switch
For ClipLink shooting, a DVCAM cassette including "cassette memory" is
necessary. In the cassette memory, data required for editing the recorded
video (ClipLink log data) is stored. The DSR-1/1P can record or play back
the cassettes with cassette memory of 16 kbits or less.
For details of ClipLink log data, see Chapter 5 "ClipLink Shooting".
