DSR85 is the first high-speed editing VTR with the capability of four times video and audio digital data transfer through the SDTI (QSDI) interface. Designed for studio-quality broadcast and editing applications, it features full editing functions such as built-in TBC, TC generator/reader and RS-422A IF. In addition, it offers DV playback compatibility, up to three hours recording, four channel audio capability, dual cassette mechanism, ClipLink operation support, full analog/digital, video/audio IF, jog audio, digital slow, Control S input and self-diagnostics. Has a full complement of digital and analog interfaces.

DVCAM and DV Format Playback The DVCAM digital recording format for video professionals is an extension of the consumer DV format. The DSR85 maintains playback compatibility with the consumer DV recordings and has the advantage that both standard and mini cassettes can be used in the Analog Inputs and Outputs The DSR85 provides a full complement of analog I/O for video and audio, which offers compatibility with conventional analog equipment, such as Betacam SP, Hi-8 and S-VHS for a smooth and gradual transition to digital systems. For video, composite, c High Speed Picture Search The DSR85 offers high speed picture search which provides a recognizable picture at various speeds over a range of up to 32 times normal speed, in both forward and reverse, to quicken editing operations. Jog Audio Complete reproduction of four channels or two channels of digital audio is achieved 1/30 to one times normal playback speed, both in forward and reverse, in the JOG mode. This feature is helpful for quickly and precisely designating editing points while m Digital Slow Function The Digital Slow function takes advantage of digital processing for playback 0 - +1/5 times normal playback speed both in forward and reverse, realizing noiseless slow-motion images with picture quality on par with dynamic tracking playback. Either frame Self-Diagnostics and Error Log Should an error be detected, an error message will be displayed, identify the problem area. In this way, downtime can be minimized. Moreover, the error log function makes it easier to detect the error by retaining the past status data of the DSR85 in memo SDTI (QSDI) I/O connectors The DSR85 is equipped with a QSDI interface which handles compressed video, as well as sub code data and digital audio signals of the DVCAM recording format. The QSDI interface allows degradation-free transfer of both video and audio signals. When integra Serial Digital Interface (SDI I/O) The SDI, which conforms to the SMPTE 259M broadcast standard, is supported by the optional DSBK-120 SDI I/O Board for simple connection with SDI equipped devices such as Digital BETACAM VTRs. Built-in SMPTE Time Code Generator/Reader A built-in time code generator and reader are in the DSR85 to offer precise video editing. The time code conforms to the SMPTE standard. Time code written in the sub code is controlled via the RS-422A interface port. Input/output of time code is possible Time Base Corrector The DSR85 is equipped with a built-in time base corrector for all analog outputs giving highly stable video signals. Sync and SC phase adjustment is made from the front panel, while the TBC control is possible with the optional UVR-60 TBC Remote Control U DVCAM Component Digital Recording Format The DVCAM format uses 8-bit component digital recording with a 5:1 compression ratio and sampling at the rate of 4:1:1 to provide superior picture quality and multi-generation capability. The DVCAM format employs an intra frame compression scheme that is High Quality Digital Audio The DSR85 provides two selectable audio channel modes, two channels and four channels. In order to ensure superb audio performance with a wide dynamic range and an excellent signal-to-noise ratio, the PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) digital stereo recording s ClipLink Operation The ClipLink system is a comprehensive data management system of the shooting information that is necessary for the total digital production process, ranging from acquisition to editing. Incorporated into Sony DVCAM cassettes are IC memory chips that hold Remote Control Via RS-422A The DSR85 is equipped with an RS-422A serial communication port to interface with Sony VTRs and editing controllers such as the PVE-500. In addition to VTR control functions, the interface also enables the transfer of ClipLink Log Data from the cassette m Frame Accurate Editing Capability When connected to RS-422A equipped editing controllers, the DSR85 functions as an editing recorder for assemble or insert editing. Frame accurate editing is assured in both modes, thanks to the sophisticated servo control and built-in time code generator/
