The Sony DSR-11 DVCAM VTR makes a compact but powerful addition to any nonlinear editing system. Accommodating standard and mini-size cassette tapes, DSR-11 provides the opportunity to harness the benefits of DVCAM while still giving the option of standard DV format when needed.
Key Features
With an i.Link interface and PAL/NTSC compatibility supplementing all the features you would expect from a professional VTR, the DSR-11 also offers a cost-effective way to switch to the benefits of DVCAM. The integrated 4-pin i.Link interface means you can duplicate entire tapes and transfer audio, video and command signals to a computer. It can also be used to copy time code from a non-tape source.

The PDW-1500 is a half-rack sized recorder optimized for use with non linear editing systems. Despite its compact size, this deck offers high-speed data transfer between compatible nonlinear devices, creating a powerful editing tool for video productions. It features MPEG IMX/DVCAM switchable recording, DVCAM compression recording at 25Mbps up to around 85 min, MPEG IMX compression recording at 30Mbps up to 68 min, 40Mbps up to 55 min and 50Mbps up to 45 min. Also, proxy AV and variety of metadata can be created and stored into the disc. Two optical heads allows transfer speed of 5x for DVCAM file and 2.5x for MPEG IMX (@50Mbps) file as well as 50x for proxy AV file. Equipped with AV interfaces (SDI, Composite with RS-422A) as well as i-LINK (SBP2) and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. As with other PDW series products, it offers a thumbnail search operation and scene selection operation, also supports stream conversion from MPEG IMX to DVCAM, output DVCAM stream over i-LINK, which can allow to record and keep high picture quality with MPEG for on-line quality while processing edit, scripting/logging work with DV infrastructure.The Sony XDCAM series of Optical Disc products will have 7 years “Powertrain” Warranty for its laser block. This “Powertrain” Warranty is unprecedented for Sony and demonstrates the confidence Sony has in its XDCAM products.

The J-30 is a video tape playback machine for the entire range of Betacam-derived ½-inch formats. Those formats include Betacam, Beta SP, Beta SX, MPEG/IMX and Digital Betacam. The tape player works with both NTSC and PAL recorded material. To fit into any modern or existing edit suite the unit outputs iLink (which is Sony’s version of FireWire) along with analog component video for very stable Beta SP import quality.
Key Features
- Analog or Digital Video Outputs – The J-30 accepts any of the Sony Beta-derived formats and outputs your choice of FireWire or analog component video. The machine also outputs time-code signals independently via a BNC connector. The formats include Betacam, Beta SP, Beta SX, MPEG/IMX and Digi-Beta.
- Audio Output – The J-30 has 2 XLR and 2 RCA audio outputs that can access 2 separate pairs of audio channels. The user can select from channels 1 and 2 or channels 3 and 4. These channels are also selected for headphone monitoring also.
