DSR70 EDIT PAIR / LAPTOP EDITOR

INFO: Two DSR70's Docked aas an edit pair. One has Firewire I/O, the other has
SDI I/O.

Model Details:
Capable of incorporating digital or hybrid analog systems, the DSR70 is an all-in-one portable editing recorder with a 6.4 inch LCD monitor, audio speaker, jog/shuttle dial and edit function keys. This versatile VTR not only allows full editing of the DVCAM format, but when docked to a Betacam SX portable VTR, the combination becomes a scalable laptop editing solution that performs full-featured VTR-to-VTR edits with DV, DVCAM, Betacam SX and Betacam SP format tapes. This feature makes it ideal for ENG applications where video is acquired from multiple sources.The DSR70 has an SDI digital interface*, allowing a direct connection with Betacam SX VTRs and an RS-422 remote interface used for professional editing.*NOTE: Optional interface boards (DSBK-140/150/160/170) cannot be used in combination with each other. However, these boards can be used together with the optional DSBK-180 Dual Video Input Board.

The DSR70 employs the DVCAM format, which uses eight-bit digital component recording with a 5:1 compression ratio and a sampling rate of 4:1:1 to provide high picture quality and superb multigeneration performance. The PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) digital stereo recording system of the DSR70 also offers superior audio performance with a wide dynamic range and an excellent signal-to-noise ratio, comparable to CD quality audio.
Many video journalists use consumer DV camcorders for field acquisition because of the compactness and portability of these units. For a professional result, however, a direct digital connection is essential. With the i.LINK (DV I/O based on IEEE1394) optional interface, the DSR70 can be directly connected to DVCAM products. The digital i.LINK connection allows source material to be dubbed and edited with virtually no deterioration of video and audio quality, requiring only one cable.
The DSR70 enables users to take full advantage of ClipLink information.. You can review material and prepare for final editing while on location. By marking the OK/NG status during shooting with a Sony DSR130, DSR300 or DSR500 DVCAM camcorder, you can easily review your material, and change the OK/NG Status on the DSR70.
By docking two DSR70s together, a full-featured, cuts-only editing system for mobile applications is created. This configuration allows VTR-to-VTR editing with Jog/Shuttle Dial Operation. In addition, Frame Accurate Editing for both assemble and insert modes is provided by the sophisticated servo control and built-in time code generator/reader. In this configuration, you can easily Cue Up to the Designated Points (Mark In/Out points) while viewing the character display of ClipLink Log Data on the LCD screen. This helps you perform a quick picture search, improving editing efficiency. Moreover, when editing and recording from a source tape with Mark In/Out point, the DSR70 automatically dubs previously recorded shot information as well as newly created Mark In/Out Points while editing.
This unique feature enables the DSR70 operator to switch between two camera sources. While recording a shot from two cameras, (for instance, shooting an orchestra from two different sides of the stage) the DSR70 displays the two camera images on the LCD screen as Picture in Picture. By using the control panel on the DSR70, the camera source can be selected for recording. Additionally, the DSR70 is capable of Displaying the Chroma Phase and Level of Zebra Pattern of the two cameras on screen. With an intercommunication headset, the DSR70 operator can direct camera operators to make camera level adjustments. Tape material can be brought to the nearest office and, by combining the DSR70 and the ES3 EditStation, editing can be completed at the desktop.
The DSR70 has a dual-size cassette mechanism that accepts both standard size and mini size DVCAM cassette tapes without any special adapter.
