Overview Features Chapter 1 to one-fifth size before being recorded to ensure stable and superb picture quality. High-quality PCM digital audio The DSR-DR1000/DR1000P is a digital videodisk recorder using the DVCAMTM digital recording format. It is the first professional DVCAM studio recorder to feature a hard disk as its recording media. The DSR-DR1000/DR1000P supports the jog, shuttle, and variable playback modes found on conventional VTRs, together with jog sound.
either as channels 1 and 2 or as channels 3 and 4. The two audio channels can be output also either as channels 1 and 2 or as channels 3 and 4. DMC (Dynamic Motion Control) Under the control of external control devices, this unit can play back editing segments over the range –2 to +2 times normal speed. Compact Size The compact size of the unit makes the unit suitable for use on a desk top or in an outside broadcast van. The unit can be used as feeder machine for non-linear editing.
Simultaneous recording and playback While recording input signals to the hard disk, this unit is capable of simultaneous normal speed or slow-motion* playback of any materials already recorded on the hard disk.** During recording, cue points can be set at any point from the control panel or from the supplied RM-LG2 Remote Control Unit, and the unit can go back to play the material from the cue points.
Using the CD-ROM Manual The supplied CD-ROM includes operation manuals for the DSR-DR1000/DR1000P Video Disk Recorder (English, Japanese, French, German, Italian and Spanish versions). CD-ROM System Requirements The following are required to access the supplied CDROM disc. • Computer: PC with MMX Pentium 166 MHz or faster CPU, or Macintosh computer with PowerPC CPU.

THROUGH mode In this mode, the LTC signal is output with the phase synchronized with the input time code signal. This mode is appropriate when recording signals from multiple devices on a number of recorders. When the camcorder is in genlock mode, the time code precision is ±0 frames. When the camcorder is not in genlock mode, it is ±1 frame. VIDEO IN VIDEO INPUT PHASE mode The time code output signal is synchronized with the input video signal.
VIDEO OUTPUT PHASE mode The time code output signal is synchronized with the output video signal.

Settings on an editing control unit When connecting an editing control unit, make the settings as follows, according to the model. PVE-500 No settings are required. BVE-600/900/910/2000 (NTSC model) or FXE-100/ 120 Set the VCR constants as follows. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 80 18 00 96 05 05 03 80 0A 08 FE 00 80 5A FF BVE-600/900/910/2000 (PAL model) or FXE-100P/ 120P Set the VCR constants as follows.
Adjusting the Sync and Subcarrier Phases When using two or more players, as in an A/B roll editing system, it is necessary to synchronize the sync and subcarrier (for composite signals) phases of the signals to be edited. If they are not synchronized, picture instabilities or color break-up may occur at edit points. After configuring the editing system, use a vectorscope to adjust the sync and subcarrier phases of the recorder and players.
Sync phase Subcarrier phase Reference line Align the sync and subcarrier phases of the black burst signal to the reference line. 5 Output the player 1 signal from the PVE-500. 6 Press the A channel button on the vectorscope. This displays the sync and subcarrier phases (composite signals only) of the signal from player 1.

Glossary A/B roll editing An editing method that uses two or more playback VCRs to create special effects such as dissolve and wipe, and uses one record VCR to record the results of the editing. Using an editing control unit allows efficient control of the VCRs and very precise editing. AES/EBU format A unified format for digital audio signals. It allows a single connector to carry the signals for two channels.
Sync signal A reference signal consisting of vertical and horizontal sync signals used for synchronizing the scanning patterns of the video camera and the monitor. Time code Signals recorded on the media to supply information on media position such as the hour, minute, second and frame, to assist in setting edit points or searching for particular scenes.
