SONY DSR 50 PROFESSIONAL DVCAM RECORDER

The Sony DSR-50 is a portable field editor VTR with a 26-Pin connector. The deck offers AC or DC power options, and an LCD monitor built-in. Four channels of audio along with phantom power for special microphones makes the DSR-50 a versatile field edit machine. DVCAM and DV Play and Record The DSR-50 is a DVCAM player recorder designed for use in the field. The deck will also adapt to record and play back the consumer format DV (in SP speed only). With the inherent advantages of DV acquisition (small camera size, cheap tape stock), the DSR-50 can be the missing link when shooting professionally with (high grade) consumer equipment. AC or DC Power Options The DSR-50 is fully capable operating with both AC and DC power sources. The deck has a 4-pin XLR for 12-volt input, often seen with battery belts. You can also attach an AC adapter through the 4-pin connector for wall power. Additionally, the machine can also accept Sony BPL or BPM style camera batteries. 26-Pin Camera Connection and Component Video The DSR-50 has the 26-pin interface. DC out and camera return functions are available through this connection. Additionally, the deck has 3-BNC component analog output. This is useful when integrating with analog broadcast formats or edit facilities. Built-In LCD Monitor The DSR-50 is equipped with a 2.5-inch color LCD monitor. Operators will find the monitor useful for a variety of functions. Menus can be seen and scrolled through and options chosen with simple dial operations. Audio level meters may be layered over the video signal for constant audio level monitoring. Maybe most significantly, you can decide to leave that heavy "portable" monitor home to save time and weight. PAL and NTSC Playback The DSR-50 NTSC machine will playback PAL recorded tapes without any systems converter. The DSR-50 PAL machine will play back NTSC recorded tape the same way. The images will be shown on the built-in LCD monitor.
