Sony DSR-25 - With 2 Yr Sony Silver Support. The DSR-25 is a DVCAM Digital Videocassette Recorder especially designed for use in DV-based non-linear editing suites. It is an ideal tool for uploading and downloading video to and from i.LINK equipped non-linear editing systems.

With its 2-inch, built-in LCD, using the DSR-25 is easy because important information, such as the recorded image, audio level, set-up menu, and system status are vividly displayed. In addition, the DSR-25 features easy one-touch duplication, the capability to preset user bits and time codes, a built-in tape counter, and a wireless remote.

DVCAM / DV(SP) recording & playback ensures perfect compatibility
While the DVCAM format delivers superior A/V performance and reliability for professional use, when you need to record and playback in DV(SP) format, the DSR-25 offers you this choice too.

LCD monitor lets you check as you go
You can use the high resolution built-in LCD colour monitor to view the image as they are recorded or to check the playback picture 'on location'. It also makes setting menus and audio recording levels easier.

Compact and lightweight
The DSR-25 is both compact and lightweight, weighing just 4.3kg. Only a half-rack wide, two units can be mounted side-by-side in a 19-inch equipment rack.

i.LINK interface
The integrated i.LINK interface allows you to transfer digital audio and video through a single-cable connection with virtually no loss in quality. This provides an easy and convenient way to make back-up tapes.

625/525 switchable
To accommodate the growing needs for international program exchange, the DSR-25 is built with the flexibility for switchable operation in 625/525 environments. This feature is also ideal for multi-national operations that require dual compatibility.

Signal conversion
Analogue input signals can be converted to digital and simultaneously output from the i.LINK connector. Also, it can convert i.LINK input signal to analogue signals.
625/525 switchable
Play tapes recorded on either the PAL or NTSC systems on your DSR-25. You can record using either system as well. Simply slide a switch to select the incoming source.

DV format recording and playback
With your DSR-25 you can record and play back DV format tapes (SP mode only) as well as DVCAM format. In DV format the DSR-25 offers 270 minutes of recording with a standard-size cassette.

i.LINK interface
Using the integrated 4-pin i.LINK interface you can duplicate entire tapes and transfer audio, video and command signals to a PC.

Time code through i.LINK
The DSR-25 can copy time code from a non-tape source through i.LINK. This is useful when video edited on a PC or other NLE system has new time code.

Colour bar generator and Tape counter
The DSR-25 has a colour bar generator that can be activated from the set-up menu. In addition, the system comes with a digital tape counter on the front panel, which is convenient for performing relative time code data editing, and for monitoring the operation of the unit.

Wireless remote commander supplied
The DSR-25 comes with a wireless remote commander, RMT-DS5, which provides menu control for precise settings. Most of the VTR's functions can be controlled from the commander, making it ideal for use during presentations.
