DVCAM videocassette tapes come in two sizes: standard and mini. A maximum recording time of 184-minutes is possible with a standard size cassette (PDV-184ME), while the mini cassette (PDVM-40ME) allows up to 40-minutes. Although the tape is relatively narrow, 1/4-inch (6.35 mm), and the cassette compact, these long recording times are achieved by using Sony advanced ME (Metal Evaporated) tape.
Up to Four Independent, High-quality, Audio Channels
The DSR-45 provides two selectable audio channel modes; a two-channel mode with 48 kHz/16-bit recording and a four-channel mode with 32 kHz/12-bit recording. Thanks to its PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) digital stereo recording system, the DSR-45 offers superb digital audio performance with a wide dynamic
Analog Component Input/Output and S-Video
The DSR-45 provides a full range of analog video inputs and outputs; component, composite, and S-Video inputs and outputs are all available. The DSR-45 can also be used as a signal converter. Component, composite, and S-Video analog signals can easily be converted to and from i.LINK digital signals.
1. The DSR-45 is best used as a player/recorder in a nonlinear editing suite. When used in A/B roll editing, the DSR-45 can be used as a source feeder. The DSR-45 cannot perform insert or assemble editing nor does it have a synchronization capability. 2. i.LINK is a Sony trademark used only to designate that a product is equipped with an IEEE 1394 connector. All products with an i.LINK connector may not communicate with each other. Please refer to the documentation that comes with any device having an i.LINK connector for information on compatibility, operating conditions, and proper connection. 3.
