to one-fifth size before being recorded to ensure stable and  
superb picture quality.  
Features  
High-quality PCM digital audio  
The DSR-DR1000A/DR1000AP is a digital video disk  
recorder using the DVCAM digital recording format. It  
is the first professional DVCAM studio recorder to feature  
a hard disk as its recording media.  
The DSR-DR1000A/DR1000AP supports the jog, shuttle,  
and variable playback modes found on conventional  
VTRs, together with jog sound. In addition, it supports  
many convenient functions possible only on a hard disk  
recorder, such as simultaneous recording and playback,  
random access, and interval recording.  
PCM recording makes for a wide dynamic range and a  
high signal-to-noise ratio, thereby enhancing sound  
quality.  
There are two recording modes: 2-channel mode (48-kHz  
sampling and 16-bit quantization), which offers sound  
quality equivalent to the DAT (Digital Audio Tape)  
format, or 4-channel mode (32-kHz sampling and 12-bit  
quantization).  
TM  
Supporting Variety of Input/Output  
Interfaces  
This unit is equipped with an i.LINK* interface supporting  
the AV/C and SBP2 protocols, which allows it to transfer  
data at high speeds. It is also equipped with an Ethernet  
connector, allowing it to be connected to a LAN for  
transferring recorded data as files.  
Digital interfaces  
This unit can be used as a recorder in combination with  
video cameras and players, and incorporated in a  
conventional editing system as a professional feeder.  
Because it adds a variety of convenient hard disk functions  
to the functionality of a conventional VTR, it can  
significantly increase editing efficiency.  
The following optional digital interfaces can be used with  
the unit.  
SDI (serial digital interface)/AES/EBU: It can input and  
output D1 (component) format digital video and audio  
signals and also AES/EBU-format digital audio  
signals.  
i.LINK: DV format digital video and audio signals can be  
input and output. This unit supports the SBP2  
protocol. Connecting an SBP2 compliant PC allows  
video and audio data to be transferred at high speeds.  
* i.LINK and are trademarks and indicate that this product is in agreement  
with IEEE1394-1995 specifications and their revisions.  
The following are the principal features of the unit.  
Analog interfaces  
DVCAM Format  
The unit can also use the following analog interfaces.  
Analog video: These interfaces include a component  
interface, composite interface, and S-video interface.  
The same BNC type input and output connectors are  
used to input and output signals in different formats  
selected with front panel buttons for input and menu  
items for output.  
DVCAM is a professional digital recording format  
developed by Sony from the consumer DV component  
digital format.  
High picture quality and high stability

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  
Superimposition function  
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.  
Time code values, operation mode indications, error  
messages, and other text data can be superimposed on  
analog composite video signals output from the SUPER  
connector. The SUPER connector is a special connector  
for output of text information. It can be used independently  
when you are outputting composite video, component  
video, S-Video and other video signals.  
Facilities for High-Efficiency Editing  
200% variable playback  
This unit is the first DVCAM format player or recorder to  
provide noiseless, variable speed playback over the range  
from –2 to +2 times normal speed.  
Special Hard Disk Functions  
Extended recording times  
Digital jog sound function  
The unit is equipped with a mass storage hard disk, which  
allows a maximum of 12 hours of 25 Mbps DVCAM  
stream signals to be recorded.  
When searching at speeds in the range 2 times normal  
speed, the digital jog sound function is enabled. The audio  
signal is saved in temporary memory, and replayed  
according to the search speed. This allows searching on the  
sound track.  
Rich variety of recording modes  
Normal recording: Input signals are recorded to the  
hard disk. A single clip* is created by recording start and  
stop operations.  
Video process control  
Continuous (endless) recording: This mode allows  
continuous recording of new material to the hard disk,  
overwriting old material when the disk becomes full.  
This mode is suitable for meteorological and biological  
observations, which require long continuous recording  
times.  
For analog video output and SDI-format video output,  
you can adjust the video output level, chroma signal  
output level, setup level (for DSR-DR1000A), black level  
(for DSR-DR1000AP), and chroma phase using the setup  
menu.  
Interval recording: This mode allows recording at  
specified intervals. You can set the length of the  
recording interval and the length of the standby time  
until the next recording interval. The recording interval  
can be set to 0.5, 1, 1.5, or 2 seconds, and the standby  
interval to 30 seconds or 1, 5, or 10 minutes. This is  
effective in situations such as biological observations  
when long interval recording times are required.  
Pre-alarm (exterenal trigger) recording: In this mode,  
recording is triggered by an alarm signal input from an  
external device. For example, when an alarm signal is  
received, the unit begins recording. Moreover the  
recording includes data for the 30 seconds prior to  
reception of the alarm signal (this data is continuously  
saved in advance on the hard disk).  
Search dial  
This unit is equipped with a responsive search dial for jog  
and shuttle playback.  
Internal and external time codes  
An internal time code generator and reader enables time  
code compliant with SMPTE (for DSR-DR1000A)/EBU  
(DSR-DR1000AP) format to be recorded and played back.  
This allows editing to single frame precision.  
Outputting or inputting time code (LTC) to or from an  
external device is also possible using the TIME CODE IN/  
OUT connectors.  
The unit is also compatible with VITC.  
* Material recorded by this unit is handled in units called “clips”, which  
contain the data from the start point to the end point of one recording  
operation. Note that there is a limit of 500 on the number of clips that  
can be saved, regardless of the available hard disk space.  
Remote control  
This unit has two RS-422A connectors for  
communications with external editors with RS-422A  
interfaces. Remote control is also possible via the supplied  
RM-LG2 remote control unit and over the i.LINK  
interface.

Simultaneous recording and playback  
Menu system for functionality and  
operation settings  
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. This makes it possible for this  
unit alone to provide slow-motion playback of highlight  
scenes and other kinds of replay required in broadcasts of  
sporting and live events.  
The unit provides a menu system to make its various  
functions easier to use and set up its operation conditions.  
Self-diagnostic/alarm function  
This function automatically detects setup and connection  
errors, operation faults, and other problems. It also  
displays a description of the problem, its cause, and the  
recommended response on the video monitor screen or  
time counter display.  
* Slow-motion playback during recording is possible over the range (normal  
speed.  
**Playback of the clip currently being recorded is not possible during  
continuous recording.  
Internal test signal generator  
The unit has built-in video and audio test signal generators.  
The video test signal generator can produce either a color  
bar signal or a black burst signal. The audio test signal  
generator can generate either a silent signal or a 1-kHz sine  
wave signal. Menu items are provided for selecting the test  
signals to be generated.  
Program playback (clip segment playback)  
You can extract scenes (up to 100 scenes) anywhere in the  
materials on the hard disk to create playlists. This unit  
follows the playlist to play the materials automatically,  
allowing you to play sequences with this unit alone. You  
can check and modify the lists on the monitor.  
Reference signal connection  
The reference video input connector of the unit is provided  
with a loop-through connector which can be used to  
connect the input reference video signal to other  
equipment. When there is no loop-through connection, the  
reference video input connector is automatically provided  
with a 75-ohm termination.  
Multi-simultaneous playback (9-pin (PARA)  
function)  
Via the two RS-422A connectors, multiple DSR-  
DR1000A/DR1000AP units can be connected in a cascade  
connection, for simultaneous playback without delay. This  
is convenient in situations such as output to multiple  
monitors. To perform multi-simultaneous playback, you  
need to set the REMOTE I/F menu item (see page 69) to  
9PIN(PARA).  
Compatible with wide-screen aspect ratio  
(16:9)  
The unit can record and play back aspect ratio information.  
When video accompanied by wide-screen aspect ratio  
information is recorded or played back, the unit can output  
the video signal also containing the aspect ratio  
information.  
Other Features  
Support for two i.LINK protocols  
This unit supports the AV/C protocol, used for input and  
output of digital video and audio signals in the DV format,  
and the SBP2 protocol, used for high-speed transfer of  
video and audio data. By connecting SBP2 compatible  
nonlinear devices or servers, you can transfer data at fast  
speed.  
Ethernet modular jack  
You can connect this unit to a LAN to transfer material. In  
addition to transferring clips, you can also extract and  
transfer individual scenes.

Advancement of internal time code  
generator  
The internal time code generator can advance in either of  
two modes, which can be set with the RUN MODE menu  
item (see page 65).  
To confirm external synchronization  
Press the STOP button to put the unit into stop mode, then  
press the REC button.  
Look at the time counter display and check that the time  
code value displayed there matches the external time code  
value.  
FREE RUN: Advancement starts when the data saving  
operation is completed.  
REC RUN: Advancement starts when recording starts and  
stops when recording stops.  
To set the current time as the initial time  
code value  
In step 2 above, set the RUN MODE menu item to FREE  
RUN, then set the current time (format: HH:MM:SS:FF =  
hours: minutes:seconds:frame number) in step 3 and  
subsequent steps.  
Synchronizing Internal and External  
Time Codes  
The internal time code generator can be synchronized with  
an external time code (LTC) input to this unit.  
To synchronize the internal time code to  
external time code  
Input an external time code (LTC) signal to the TIME  
CODE IN connector, then set the TC MODE menu item  
(see page 65) to EXT REGEN.  
The internal time code generator locks onto the external  
time code and starts advancing. Once the internal time  
code generator has been synchronized in this way, you can  
disconnect the external time code input and this unit will  
maintain the synchronized time code.  
Note  
When the selected input mode is “i.LINK” (the i.LINK  
indicator is lit in the INPUT signal display section), setting  
the TC MODE menu item to EXT REGEN causes the  
internal time code generator to automatically synchronize  
with the external time code input to the unit via the i.LINK  
interface.  
When the TC SELECT menu item is set to VITC, the  
internal time code generator synchronizes to the time code  
(VITC) of video input signals.  
Once an external time code signal has been input, the  
internal time code advancement mode and frame count  
mode are automatically set as follows:  
Advancement mode: FREE RUN  
Frame count mode: Same as external time code (drop  
frame or non-drop frame)

(Continuous Recording)  
Playback  
This section describes the settings and operations  
necessary to perform playback on this unit. The same  
settings and operations apply whether you are using the  
unit as part of an editing system, for dubbing, or as a stand-  
alone player VCR.  
Continuous recording allows you to continue recording for  
extended periods by overwriting older recorded content.  
To perform continuous recording, you need to set the REC  
MODE menu item (see page 62) to CONT. REC. The  
CONTINUOUS REC indicator lights when this unit is in  
continuous recording mode.  
For the necessary connections for playback and the  
settings not covered in this section, see Chapter 7  
Notes  
• Existing clips on the disk are not overwritten in  
continuous recording. If you wish to use the entire disk  
for continuous recording, delete all clips on the disk  
before starting to record.  
• In simultaneous recording and playback during  
continuous recording, only clips which have been saved  
to disk before the start of continuous recording can be  
played back. (The clip currently being recorded cannot  
be played back.)

Menu Setting  
Chapter  
Menu Organization  
As shown in the following figure, the menu system  
consists of four levels and is divided by function into six  
subsystems: the Setup menu (SETUP MENU), the Time  
Code Preset menu (TC PRESET), the Disk menu (DISK  
MENU), the Network menu (NETWORK MENU), the  
Date and Time Preset menu (DATE/TIME PRESET), and  
the Digital hours meter menu (HOURS METER).  
This chapter mainly describes the setup menu, showing its  
contents and how to operate it.  
For details of the digital hours meter display, see “Regular  
The items of the setup menu are divided into several  
functional groups on level 1, and except for the MENU  
GRADE item the settings themselves are made on level 2  
or level 3.  
Also, the menu items are divided into two categories  
according to how frequently they are accessed: the “basic”  
items, to which frequent access is normally required, and  
the “enhanced” items, which are less frequently used. In  
the following figure, the items shown in boldface are basic  
items, and the other items are enhanced items.  
The menu settings are saved in non-volatile memory,  
which means they are not erased when you power off the  
unit after executing the setting operation.

About reference video signals  
In order to provide stable video and audio signals for  
analog editing, it is necessary for the built-in time base  
corrector (TBC) to operate correctly. To ensure this, input  
a reference video signal synchronized with the video signal  
to the REF. VIDEO IN connector.

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. Subcarrier phase adjustment is necessary when  
using composite signals and Y/C signals.

Precautions  
cloth. In the event of extreme dirt, use a cloth steeped in a  
neutral detergent to remove the dirt, then wipe with a dry  
cloth. Applying alcohol, thinners, insecticides, or other  
volatile solvents may result in deforming the casing or  
damaging the finish.  
On safety  
• Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet,  
unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified  
personnel before operating it further.  
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used  
for an extended period of time.  
On repacking and shipping  
Save the original shipping carton and packing material;  
they will come in handy if you ever have to ship your unit.  
For maximum protection, repack your unit as it was  
originally packed at the factory, and take care not to impart  
violent shocks in transit.  
• To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull  
the cord itself.

Avoid operation or storage in any of the following places.  
• Location subject to extremes of temperature (operating  
temperature range 5ºC to 40ºC (41ºF to 104ºF))  
• Location subject to direct sunlight for long periods, or  
close to heating appliances (Note that the interior of a car  
left in summer with the windows closed can exceed 50ºC  
(122ºF).)  
• Damp or dusty places  
• Location subject to severe vibrations  
• Location near equipment generating strong  
electromagnetic emissions  
• Location near transmitting stations generating strong  
radio waves  
Operate the unit in a horizontal position  
This unit is designed to be operated in a horizontal  
position. Do not operate it on its side, or tilted through an  
excessive angle (exceeding 20º).  
Avoid violent impacts  
Dropping the unit, or otherwise imparting a violent shock  
to it, is likely to cause it to malfunction.  
Do not obstruct ventilation openings  
To prevent the unit from overheating, do not obstruct  
ventilation openings, by for example wrapping the unit in  
a cloth while it is in operation.

A/B roll editing  
example one floor or all floors of an  
office building, a factory, or a school.  
Reference video signal  
A video signal consisting of a sync  
signal or sync and burst signals, used  
as a reference.  
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.  
Linear editing  
Editing while playing back video and  
audio signals recorded on video tape.  
SBP2 (Serial bus protocol-2)  
A protocol to control peripheral  
devices connected to a computer by  
IEEE1394.  
Loop-through connection  
A connection which allows a signal  
input to an input connector to pass  
through the unit and exit from an  
output connector as input to external  
equipment. Also called bridging  
connection.  
Setup (for DSR-DR1000A)  
The difference between the reference  
black level and the blanking level of  
a composite signal.  
AES/EBU format  
A unified format for digital audio  
signals. It allows a single connector  
to carry the signals for two channels.  
SMPTE  
BY signal  
Luminance signal  
Abbreviation of Society of Motion  
Picture and Television Engineers, a  
professional association established  
in the USA.  
A chrominance signal determined by  
subtracting the Y (luminance) signal  
from the B (blue) signal. One of the  
component signals.  
The signal that determines the  
brightness of the picture. Also called  
Y signal. One of the component  
signals.  
S/N  
Chrominance signal  
Non-drop frame mode  
Abbreviation of Signal-to-Noise  
(ratio). The higher the S/N value, the  
less noise and higher the picture  
quality.  
Color signal containing color  
information such as hue and  
saturation. Also called C signal.  
The number of frames of the time  
code and video run is not adjusted.  
When you use the time code in non-  
drop frame mode, the real playback  
time will be about 86 seconds shorter  
per day than the time code. If you edit  
frame by frame or if you determine  
the length of a shot by counting the  
time code, use drop frame mode.  
Component signals (YRB)  
A video signal consisting of a  
luminance signal (Y) and two  
chrominance signals (RY, BY).  
Search mode  
A VCR operating mode used when  
searching for specific scenes, by  
viewing the video output or time code  
values while playing back the tape at  
various speeds in forward or reverse  
direction.  
Composite signal  
A composite video signal containing  
video, burst and sync signals.  
Non-linear editing  
Editing while playing back video and  
audio signals recorded on hard disks.  
Video scenes stored on disk can be  
cued up quickly, for increased editing  
efficiency. See also “Linear  
Drop frame mode  
Subcarrier  
Time code runs at 30 frames/sec. The  
NTSC system, however, runs at  
about 29.97 frames/sec. Drop frame  
mode adjusts this difference. The  
time code and video are synchronized  
by dropping the first two frames of  
the time code every minute, except at  
the ten-minute marks.  
A sine wave imposed on the  
luminance portion of a video signal  
and modulated to carry color  
information. Its amplitude represents  
color saturation and its phase  
represents hue.  
PCM audio  
This is an audio signal represented by  
pulse code modulation. The analog  
audio signal is first broken down into  
a sequence of pulses, and these are  
then represented digitally.  
Superimpose  
To put a set of characters onto a  
picture so that both can be seen at the  
same time.  
EE mode  
EE is an abbreviation of “Electric to  
Electric”. Video and audio signals are  
supplied to the recorder’s internal  
circuits, but not to the recording  
heads.
