The DSR70A is an all-in-one portable editing recorder with a 6.4 inch LCD monitor, audio speaker, DMC, jog/shuttle dial and edit function keys. The DSR-70A is also one of DVCAM's Master Series VTRs capable of playback of DV (SP), DVCAM and DVCPRO cassettes automatically without adapters or menu setting changes. 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. The DSBK-160A option board provides both i.LINK IEEE 1394 DV I/O and SDI input/output connections on a single option board.*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 DVCAM Digital Component Recording Format The DSR70A 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
Multi-Format Playback Capability The DSR-70A is capable of providing editing playback of DV(SP), DVCAM and DVCPRO format recorded material. The format is automatically identified by the VTR without having to change any menu settings.
Excellent Editing Performance The DSR-70A offers a variable speed playback function with a range of -0.5 to +0.5 times normal play speed. Within this range, it plays back noiseless, digital slow-motion pictures as well as clear jog sound, making it easy to locate editing points quickl
DMC Editing Function Equipped with the DMC function, the DSR-70A provides noiseless slow-motion pictures within the range of -0.5 to +0.5 time normal speed. In two-machine editing, the variable speed range with the slow motion picture on a player side is memorized on a record
Internal Signal Generator Incorporating a comprehensive range of analog interfaces for both video and audio, the DSR-70A interfaces with current analog equipment to ensure a smooth transition to digital systems. Composite, S-Video (Y/C) for video, and audio interfaces (via XLR con 16:9 Aspect Ratio Capability By receiving a wide aspect ID signal, the DSR-70A records and plays back 16:9 aspect ratio pictures captured with the Sony DXC-D35WS Digital Video Camera, the DSR-500WSL and the DSR-PD100A DVCAM Camcorders.
Vertical Interval Time Code In addition to conforming to the SMPTE time code format, the DSR-70A also supports Vertical Interval Time Code (VITC). This time code is recorded on the video tracks and inserted in the vertical blanking interval. The Vertical Interval Time Code can also Video Process Control The DSR-70A offers control of its video processor for both analog and digital outputs. This provides accurate control of video level, chroma level and chroma phase (hue) for composite, component, S-Video and SDI outputs.
Edit List Memory function The DSR-70A memorizes the last 10 editing points as Edit List, and these data can be recalled and used for changing the editing points (re-editing). ClipLink Operations The DSR70A 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 DSR135WS, DSR300AL or DSR500WSL DVCAM camcorder, you Double Deck Editing By docking two DSR70As 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 m
Two-Camera Recording This unique feature enables the DSR70A 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 DSR70A displays the two camera images on the LCD
Multi-Size Cassette Mechanism The DSR70A has a multi-size cassette mechanism that accepts standard, medium and mini size DV based cassette tapes without the need for an adapter.
