Sony DSR-11 dvcam deck

DVCAM/DV Recording and Playback: Employs the DVCAM format to offer superior video and audio quality and reliability for professional use. It also features the audio lock mode for professional audio editing. At the same time, it is capable of recording and playing back the consumer DV (SP) format (The transition from cut to cut may not be smooth when recorded in the DV format).

Compact and Lightweight Design: The DSR-11 weighs only 6 lbs. 2 oz. With its compact design, it can be placed on top of a PC tower or on its side by using the supplied stand.

NTSC/PAL Recording And Playback: When playing back, the DSR-11 automatically detects the colour system of the tape and outputs the signal. When recording through the i.LINK (IEEE-1394) digital interface, the DSR-11 detects the colour system signals of the source and records accordingly. When recording through analog input, the colour system of the source is set manually through a switch on the back of the unit. An idicator lamp on the front panel shows whether it is recording in NTSC or PAL>

Audio Capability: The DSR-11 can record two channels of audio with 48 kFs/16 bit or four channels of audio with 32 kFs/12 bit sampling that is selectable through the menu.

i.LINK Connection Capability: The DSR-11 is equipped with a 4-pin i.LINK jack that allows digital dubbing with virtually no quality loss. It can be connected to other VTR equipment with this connection as well as to video capture that support the DV IN/OUT interface (IEEE 1394). In addition, the DSR-11 can copy timecode through the i.LINK connection from a non-tape source (such as a PC) when recording in the DVCAM mode. For example, if video is edited on a NLE system with a new timecode, that timecode can be copied on the tape when downloading. That way, if the timecode begins intentionally with a large number, it can be copied to the tape.

Key Features
•	DVCAM / DV Play and Record
	DVCAM is Sony's professional version of the ubiquitous DV format. DVCAM offers better picture quality, superior multi-generational dubbing quality and greater dynamic range in its audio section. DV offers longer recording duration and less expensive tape stock prices. The DSR-11 will play and record in both formats letting the user choose which features are most significant to the final product.
•	NTSC and PAL Compatibility
	Though the DSR-11 will not convert one signal to the other, the machine will play and record in both NTSC and PAL standards. When recording through the analog input, the switch on the back of the unit must select the proper color standard. When recording from the digital input, the machine recognizes the standard automatically.
•	i.LINK Interface
	The DSR-11 is equipped with a 4-pin i.LINK connection. This connection allows easy duplication of entire tapes as well as one-cable digital transfer of audio, video, and command signals to a connected VTR or PC. When downloading video via the i.LINK connection, you can also copy the time code from a non-VTR source such as video that has been edited on a PC.
•	Auto Repeat Feature
	When set to Auto Repeat the DSR-11 can repeatedly play back a program. Just after the DSR-11 reaches the end of the tape, the first complete blank portion, or the first index point, it automatically rewinds and repeats playback of the segment.
•	Wired Remote Compatibility
	The DSR-11 is equipped with LANC (Control L) and Control S connectivity. Several control components work with LANC providing basic machine control for a linear edit situation. The DSRM-20 jog shuttle remote will attach to the DSR-11 via the Control S connection.
