The DV I/O, based on i.LINK interface can be connected to third party video capture boards that support the DV I/O interface. Additionally, the DSR-20 has a “Duplication With T/C” mode which allows dubbing of the original tape and its time codes.
Remote Control Operations
The VTR is capable of remote control operations using three different remote control protocols. The RS-232C interface allows control from a PC. With the LANC interface, the DSR-20 is capable of communications with an editing controller which has a LANC interface. Control S allows control from any remote controls (which have a control S interface) including wireless remote controls, and wired controls using SVRM-100A and DSRM-10. Control S In/Out also allows a number of DSR-20s to be controlled from one remote control. DSR-20 is supplied with the wireless Remote Commander® RMT-DS20.
Power On Rec/Power On PB (Auto Repeat) Functions
A Power On Rec allows unattended recording with the aid of an external timer. By setting the Power On Rec mode and connecting an external timer, the DSR-20 will automatically start recording when the AC power is turned on. When the unit is set to Repeat, it starts playback as soon as AC power is turned on.
External Sync In
An external sync input provides synchronized playback with other VTRs. This is convenient when a number of machines are in simultaneous playback of one or more sources.
