Overview  
Features  
The DSR-70/70P is a 1/4-inch digital videocassette  
recorder using the DVCAMTM digital recording format.  
It uses a component video system, with separate  
luminance and chrominance signals and digital  
processing to realize a stable, high image quality.  
This unit is lightweight and compact, with a color  
liquid crystal display and speakers, making it easy to  
carry, yet ideal for on-the-spot checking of recorded  
material.  
High image quality and high stability  
The luminance and chrominance signals are encoded  
separately, with a 1/5 compression, giving a stable high  
quality video image.  
Since this is a digital system, nth-generation copies  
created by repeated dubbing show virtually no loss in  
picture quality.  
By combining two units, you can easily assemble a cut  
editing system.  
Wide track  
The unit supports the Sony-developed ClipLinkTM  
function, improving operating efficiency when  
combined with a Sony EditStationTM.  
The recording track width is 15 µm, 50% wider than  
the 10 µm of the DV format. This ensures adequate  
reliability for professional use.  
A range of optional interface boards is available, with  
support for both digital and analog systems.  
The following are the principal features of the unit.  
PCM digital audio for high sound quality  
The PCM encoding method yields a high audio  
quality, with wide dynamic range and high signal-to-  
noise ratio.  
There are two recording modes: two-channel mode  
(48-kHz sampling and 16-bit quantization), which  
offers sound quality equivalent to the DAT (Digital  
Audio Tape) format, or four-channel (32-kHz  
sampling and 12-bit quantization).  
DVCAM Format  
DVCAM is a professional 1/4-inch digital recording  
format developed by Sony from the DV 4:1:1  
component digital format for home use.

• Changing ClipLink log data OK/NG status  
• Cuing up to Mark IN and cue points provided by  
ClipLink log data  
• For cut editing, copying Mark IN data from ClipLink  
log data  
For an overview of the ClipLink function, refer to the  
separate ClipLink Guide.  
The DV input/output connector using i.LINK  
technology allows the unit to input and output digital  
video and audio signals in DV format. (Optional  
DSBK-140 board)  
.........................................................................................................................................................................................  
1) SDTI (QSDI): SDTI (Serial Data Transport Interface) is  
the name of a standard interface established as SMPTE  
305M.  
2) SDI: Serial Digital Interface is used for transferring video  
signals in component digital format (D1).  
This unit uses SDTI to transmit DV data, and the input/  
output connectors are labled “SDTI(QSDI)”.  
In indicator and menu indications, however, the  
“SDTI(QSDI)” name is shortened to “SDTI”.

Internal timecode generator and reader  
Other Features  
An internal timecode generator and reader enables  
timecode compliant with SMPTE/EBU format to be  
recorded and played back. This allows editing to single  
frame precision.  
Outputting or inputting timecode (LTC) to or from an  
external device is also possible.  
Two-Input Video Recording  
With the optional DSBK-180/180P Dual Video Input  
Board installed, you can record, switching between the  
composite video input to the VIDEO INPUT connector  
and the composite video input to the REF. VIDEO IN  
connector.  
High-speed search function  
The ease of switching video inputs when recording  
helps improve later editing efficiency.  
You can carry out a picture search while playing back  
in color within the range +32 to –32 times normal  
speed1).  
When controlling the unit in shuttle mode from an  
editor or remote control unit, you can search at any

Notes  
• In the DVCAM format, there are two audio recording modes, that is,  
two channel, 48-kHz mode and four-channel, 32-kHz mode. It is not  
possible to select other modes (for example, four-channel, 48-kHz  
mode).  
• If an audio signal in a different mode than the base tape is used in  
assemble or insert editing, the signals will be discontinuous at the edit  
points and correct editing will not be obtained. For this reason, audio  
editing between different modes is inhibited on this unit.  
For smooth editing operations, check the audio recording mode of the  
base tape beforehand. If on a tape there is a point where the audio  
mode is switched, you cannot perform an insert editing on that point.  
• Once you have started recording, you cannot change the audio mode  
selection.

Handling Cassettes  
This unit can use standard-size and mini-size DVCAM cassettes listed  
below.  
Model name  
Size  
PDV-64ME/94ME/124ME/184ME  
PDVM-12ME/22ME/32ME/40ME  
Standard size  
Mini size  
The numbers in each model name indicate the maximum recording/  
playback time (in minutes) for each model. For example, the PDV-184ME  
has a maximum recording/playback time of 184 minutes.  
Notes  
• If you insert an incorrect type of cassette, it will be automatically ejected.  
• When operating this unit as a player, you can also use DV cassettes on  
the unit. However, it is the best choice to always use DVCAM cassettes  
because they are more reliable than DV cassettes whatever your purpose  
may be: playback, editing, or long-period storage of recordings.  
• Cassettes that have been recorded by a DV-format recorder can be played  
back on this unit, but you cannot use them to carry out recording by  
editing. If you insert such a cassette into this unit, the NO EDIT  
indication lights up in the sub LCD menu home page.

Handling Casettes  
Notes on using cassettes  
• Before storing the cassette, rewind the tape to the beginning and be sure  
to put the cassette in its storage case, preferably on end instead of flat on  
its side. The storage case of a DVCAM cassette is specially designed to  
ensure a long-period storage of the tape.  
Storing a cassette in any other condition (not rewound, out of its case,  
etc.) may cause the video and audio contents to become damaged over  
time.  
• If the cassette memory connector (contact point) becomes dirty,  
connection problems may occur and cause a loss of functions. Remove  
away any dust or dirt from this area before using the cassette.  
• If the cassette is dropped on the floor or otherwise receives a hard impact,  
the tape may become slackened and may not record and/or play back  
correctly.  
For instructions on removing tape slack, see below.  
Preventing accidental erasure  
Set the REC/SAVE switch on the cassette to SAVE to prevent accidental  
erasure of recorded contents.  
REC/SAVE switch  
Set to SAVE.  
REC  
SAVE  
To enable re-recording  
Set the cassette’s REC/SAVE switch to REC.  
If you insert a cassette into the unit when this switch is set to SAVE, the  
unit will not record when you press the PLAY button while holding down  
the REC/SEQ button.  
Checking the tape for slack  
Using a paper clip or a similar object, turn the reel gently in the direction  
shown by the arrow. If the reel does not move, there is no slack. Insert the  
cassette into the cassette compartment, and after about 10 seconds take it  
out.

Selecting an Edit Mode  
When you use two DSR-70/70P units, you can do two types of editing:  
assemble editing and insert editing. This section provides an outline of  
each type and explains how to select an edit mode.  
In the subsequent explanation of editing operations in this chapter,  
illustrations of a pair of DSR-70/70P units (player and recorder) combined  
using the optional BKNW-225 Docking Kit are used (see page 125). In  
each illustration, as viewed from the front, the unit on the left is the player  
and the unit on the right is the recorder.  
Assemble Editing  
In assemble editing, you record video and audio materials in order from  
the start of the tape. In addition to video and audio, timecode is also  
recorded. If timecode is already recorded on the tape, the new timecode is  
recorded so as to form a continuous sequence with the existing timecode.  
Assemble editing is convenient when you are recording on a new tape.  
Note  
Before you begin assemble editing for the first time with a new tape, video  
signal such as black signal and timecode must be recorded on the tape in  
advance of the recorder IN point for a length equal to or greater than the  
preroll time.

Finding Edit Points —Search  
Playback in search mode using the jog and shuttle dials allows finding edit  
points quickly.  
Jog mode  
Playback speed is determined by the rotation speed of the jog dial between  
±1 times normal speed. Rotate the dial in the clockwise direction to search  
in the forward direction, and rotate the dial in the counterclockwise  
direction to search in the reverse direction.  
Shuttle mode  
Playback speed is determined by the rotation angle of the shuttle dial  
between ±32 times normal speed (21 steps). Click points allow playback  
at ±5 times normal speed.  
Rotate the dial in the clockwise direction to search in the forward  
direction, and rotate the dial in the counterclockwise direction to search in  
the reverse direction.  
Switching between each mode  
Lighting the JOG or SHUTTLE indicator shows the corresponding mode  
is selected.  
Switching from jog to shuttle mode  
Rotate the shuttle dial.  
Switching from shuttle to jog mode  
Press the jog dial or rotate the jog dial while setting the shuttle dial at still  
position.  
To switch between normal playback and search modes  
Press the PLAY and search buttons alternately.  
As factory default setting, rotating the jog or shuttle dial switches to search  
mode at any time except during recording and editing.  
If you change the setting of setup menu item 101, the above function will  
be disabled and switching to search mode will be possible only when the  
search button is pressed.  
For details about setting, see item 101 on page 106.

Setting Edit Points  
In editing operations, there are four edit points: an IN point and an OUT  
point on the recorder side, and an IN point and an OUT point on the player  
side. As soon as you set three of the edit points, the fourth edit point is  
calculated automatically.  
In insert editing, you can set IN points for audio separately from the IN  
points for video (audio split editing).  
For details, see “To set audio IN points separately from video IN points (audio  
split editing)” on page 51.  
Note  
If it is necessary to operate the buttons or dial on the player, set setup  
menu item 006 “LOCAL FUNCTION ENABLE” to ENA beforehand (see

Synchronizing the Internal  
Timecode Generator With an  
External Signal — External Lock  
You can synchronize the internal timecode generator  
of this unit by inputting an external timecode signal  
(LTC).  
To synchronize to an external timecode  
signal  
Connect the external timecode (LTC) signal to the TC  
IN connector, and set the TC INT/EXT switch to the  
EXT position.  
This starts the synchronization of the internal timecode  
generator to the external timecode signal. Once the  
synchronization is achieved, the internal timecode  
generator continues to be synchronized even when the  
external timecode signal is disconnected.  
Note  
When the input mode is SDTI or i.LINK (the SDTI or  
i.LINK indicator is present in the subsidiary LCD),  
then setting the TC INT/EXT switch to the EXT  
position automatically synchronizes the internal  
timecode generator to the timecode transferred through  
the SDTI (DSBK-150) or i.LINK (DSBK-140)  
interface.  
Note that when the TC INT/EXT switch is set to EXT,  
the advance mode and frame count mode (DSR-70  
only) are automatically set as follows.  
Advance mode: free running  
Frame count mode (DSR-70 only): the same as the  
external timecode signal (drop frame or non-drop  
frame)  
Checking the synchronization to the  
external signal  
Press the STOP button to stop this unit, then press the  
REC/SEQ button.  
Watch the time counter display, and check that the  
values displayed coincide with the external timecode  
values.

last 6 hours of recording is always available.  
By replacing the cassette approximately every 3 hours,  
indefinite continuous recording is possible.  
Sequential recording using two DSR-70/70P units can  
be performed in the following two ways.  
In either case, you can use the same operating  
procedure, but there are some differences in  
equipment/signal connections and basic settings  
between the two cases.  
For more information about equipment/signal connections  
and basic settings for two-unit sequential recording, see the  
section “Connections for Sequential Recording Using Two  
Units” on page 118.  
Use the following procedure. You can do control panel  
operations on the recorder during sequential recording.  
Rewind the tape to the beginnig beforehand.  
• Inputting external video and audio signals to both the  
player and recorder.  
• Inputting external video and audio signals to the  
player and inputting the video and audio signals  
output from the player to the recorder.

• Displaying ClipLink log data  
Notes  
• For a tape on which index pictures are already  
recorded, you cannot change any ClipLink log data  
other than the reel numbes and OK/NG status. (When  
index pictures are recorded on a tape, the ClipLink  
log data list for the tape shows an IP indication.)  
• You cannot carry out ClipLink operation such as  
“Continue” on the DSR-1/1P or DSR-300/300P for a  
tape whose ClipLink log data has been modified on  
this unit.  
• Cueing up to Mark IN/OUT points and cue points  
• Rewriting ClipLink log data (reel numbers, Mark IN/  
OUT points, and OK/NG status only)  
• Creating additional ClipLink log data and deleting  
ClipLink log data (Mark IN/OUT points only)  
• Automatically creating new ClipLink log data (Mark  
IN/OUT points only)  
When Mark IN/OUT points are created, the scene  
number and take number for them are fixed at 000 and  
00, respectively.  
For an overview of the ClipLink function, refer to the  
separate ClipLink Guide.  
The above operations other than automatic creation of  
new ClipLink log data require the ClipLink log data

Maintenance and  
Troubleshooting  
Condensation  
If condensation occurs while the unit is  
operating:  
If you move the unit suddenly from a cold to warm  
location, or if you use it in a very humid place,  
The alarm message “MOISTURE HAS BEEN  
DETECTED.” appears on the monitor screen, and the  
alarm message “HUMID!” in the sub LCD. At the  
same time the unit ejects the cassette automatically. If  
this happens, leave the unit’s power on and wait until  
the alarm messages disappear.  
moisture from the air may condense on the head drum.  
This is called condensation, and if a tape is run in this  
state, the tape may stick to the drum and can be easily  
damaged. To lessen the risk of this occurring, this unit  
is equipped with a condensation detection system.  
If the condensation alarm messages appear  
immediately after powering on:  
Leave the unit powered on and wait until the alarm  
messages disappear. You cannot load a cassette into  
the unit while the alarm messages are being displayed  
Once the alarm messages disappear, the unit is ready  
for use.  
Head Cleaning  
To clean the heads  
Always use the DVM12CL (mini-size) or DV12CL  
(standard size) Cleaning Cassette to clean the video  
and audio heads. You can run the cleaning cassette for  
10 seconds per cleaning operation. Follow the  
instructions for the cleaning cassette, as inappropriate  
use of the cleaning cassette can damage the heads.  
Insert the cleaning cassette. This automatically starts  
cleaning. You cannot operate any tape transport  
control buttons other than the EJECT button during the  
cleaning operation.  
After about 10 seconds, the cleaning cassette will be  
automatically ejected.

Specifications  
Note on liquid crystal display panel (LCD  
monitor)  
The liquid crystal display fitted to this unit is  
manufactured with high precision technology, giving a  
functioning pixel ratio of at least 99.99%. Thus a very  
small proportion of pixels (at most 0.01%) may be  
“stuck”, constantly on or constantly off. In addition,  
over a long period of use, because of the physical  
characteristics of the liquid crystal display, such  
“stuck” pixels may appear spontaneously.  
These problems have been kept to the absolute  
minimum, but are an unavoidable characteristic of  
liquid crystal technology.

Glossary  
Assemble editing  
Drop frame mode  
Loading  
Editing in which new video/audio is added  
in sequence to the end of existing recorded  
video/audio. See also “Insert editing”.  
Time code runs at 30 frames/sec. The  
NTSC system, however, runs at about  
29.97 frame /sec. Drop frame mode  
adjusts this difference. The timecode and  
video are synchronized by dropping the  
first two frames of the timecode every  
minute, except at the ten-minute marks.  
Also called “threading”. To pull the tape  
out of the cassette case, thread it along the  
specified tape path, and wrap it on the  
drum in order to prepare it for recording or  
playback. The VCR automatically loads  
the cassette tape when you insert the  
cassette into the cassette compartment.  
There are two loading modes: standby-on  
mode and standby-off mode.  
Bridge connection  
A connection which allows a signal input  
to an input terminal to pass through the  
unit and exit from an output terminal as  
input to external equipment.  
Drum  
See “Head drum”.  
LTC  
B–Y signal  
Abbreviation of “Longitudinal Time  
Code”. This timecode is recorded on a  
longitudinal track on the tape. Reading is  
unreliable at low speeds, and not possible  
at all during still playback. See also  
“VITC”.  
One of the color difference signals, the B  
(blue) signal minus Y (luminance) signal.  
E-E mode  
Abbreviation of “Electric to Electric”  
mode. In this mode, video and audio  
signals input to the VCR are output after  
passing through internal electric circuits,  
but not through magnetic conversion  
circuits such as heads and tapes. This can  
be used to check input signals and for  
adjusting input signal levels.  
C signal  
See “Chrominance signal”.  
Capstan  
Luminance signal  
A signal that determined the brightness of  
the picture. Also called “Y signal”.  
A drive mechanism that moves the tape at  
a specified speed. Its rotation is normally  
synchronized with a reference sync signal.  
Emphasis  
The signal is emphasized at high  
frequencies. During playback, it is de-  
emphasized. This suppresses noise  
without affecting the original signal.  
Non-drop frame mode  
Chrominance signal  
A signal which carries information about  
hue and saturation. Also called “C signal”.  
The number of frames of the timecode and  
video run is not adjusted. When you use  
the timecode in non-drop frame mode, the  
real playback time will be about 86  
seconds shorter per day than the timecode.  
If you edit frame by frame or if you  
determine the length of a shot by counting  
the timecode, use drop frame mode.  
Condensation  
External lock/Gen-lock  
Moisture which condensed on tape  
transport mechanisms. If there is  
condensation on the head drum, tape sticks  
to drum and the VCR may malfunction.  
Synchronizing one equipment (controlled  
or slave unit) to another (controlling or  
master unit). The signal and tape run of  
the VCRs used for editing, player and  
recorder, are usually synchronized.  
Non-linear editing  
Component video signal  
A signal that consists of a luminance  
signal (Y) and two chrominance signals  
(R–Y, B–Y).  
Editing while playing back video and  
audio signals recorded on hard disks.  
Video scenes stored on disk can be cued  
up quickly, for increased editing  
efficiency. See also “Linear editing”.  
Gen-lock (generator lock)  
See “External lock”.  
Head drum  
Composite video signal  
A signal that consists of video, sync and  
color burst signals.  
A metal cylinder to which a video head is  
attached. This drum is rotated at high  
speeds in synchronization with the sync  
signal during recording and playback.  
Preroll  
Running of a video tape to a prior to an  
edit-start point to enable the tape to reach a  
steady speed and to be synchronized with  
other video tapes.  
CTL  
Control signal in the form of regular pulses  
recorded along a longitudinal track on the  
videotape. By counting these pulses, it is  
possible to determine the number of  
frames, and hence the tape’s running time.  
Used mainly to adjust the tracking position  
of video heads, and to achieve timecode  
continuity in continuous recording.  
Insert editing  
Editing in which new video/audio is added  
into the middle of existing recorded video/  
audio. See also “Assemble editing”.  
Quantization  
The level resolution when an analog signal  
is sampled before converted into a digital  
signal. 8-bit quantizing has 256 levels and  
16-bit quantizing has 1024 levels.  
Generally, 8-bit quantizing is used for  
video signals and 16-bit quantizing is used  
for audio signals. The fewer the  
quantizing steps, the more distortion is in  
the analog signal when the digital signal is  
reconverted into analog signal.  
IRE  
A unit for representing a video level laid  
down by the IRE (Institute of Radio  
Engineers). The IRE is now the IEEE  
(Institute of Electric and Electronic  
Engineers).  
Digital VCR  
On a digital VCR, video and audio signals  
are recorded on magnetic tape and, unlike  
on an analog VCR, can be played back  
without any quality deterioration.  
Linear editing  
Editing while playing back video and  
audio signals recorded on video tape.  
See also “Non-linear editing”.

Glossary  
Reference video signal  
Setup (for DSR-70)  
Synchronization  
A video signal which contains a sync  
signal or sync and burst signals, used as a  
reference for synchronization of video  
equipment.  
The difference between the reference black  
level and the blanking level of a composite  
signal.  
In video editing, alignment of the position  
and speed of player and recorder VCRs  
tapes. Carried out during preroll in order to  
increase editing precision.  
SMPTE  
R–Y signal  
Abbreviation of Society of Motion Picture  
and Television Engineers, a professional  
association established in the USA.  
Tape tension  
One of the color difference signals, the R  
(red) signal minus Y (luminance) signal.  
Sampling frequency  
The unit of time used when converting an  
analog signal with a continuously varying  
level to digital form by sampling the level  
at a fixed interval. In general, a higher  
sampling frequency makes it possible to  
digitize analog signals of a higher  
frequency.  
The tension applied to a tape. For the tape  
to run properly while being wound on the  
drum, it must be pulled lightly in the  
opposite direction to the direction of  
transport. Improper adjustment of tape  
tension can cause deviations along the  
temporal signal axis. In analog VCRs,  
these deviations are evident as skew and  
distortion in the upper part of the screen.  
S/N  
Signal-to-Noise ratio. The relation of the  
strength of the desired signal to the  
accompanying electronic interference, the  
noise. If S/N is high, sounds are  
reproduced with less noise and pictures are  
reproduced clearly without snow.  
TBC  
SCH  
Standby-off mode  
Abbreviation of Time Base Corrector.  
Electronic circuits to electrically stabilize  
the playback signals by removing color  
variation and roll in the playback picture  
caused by irregularity in drum rotation and  
tape movement. Time base correction  
reduces deterioration of picture quality  
when transmitting or copying playback  
signals.  
Abbreviation of Sub Carrier to Horizontal.  
The phase of the subcarrier with respect to  
the phase of the horizontal synchronization  
signal. In editing of monochrome video,  
phase continuity is maintained by editing  
in units of frames (two fields), so that the  
continuity of the horizontal  
One of the stop modes. In this mode, head  
drum rotation is stopped and the tape  
tension is slackened. It is not possible to  
switch instantaneously from this mode to  
recording or playback mode. This mode is  
not harmful to the tape or heads.  
synchronization signal phase is  
Standby-on mode  
maintained. Editing of color video must be  
done in units of two frames (four fields) to  
maintain subcarrier continuity. The SCH  
of a field can be checked to find out which  
of the four fields it represents. This allows  
edited video signals to be joined while  
maintaining subcarrier continuity.  
One of the stop modes. In this mode, the  
head drum continues rotating and the tape  
remains wound onto the drum. This mode  
enables instantaneous switching to  
recording or playback mode. To prevent  
damage to the tape or heads, the device  
automatically switches from standby-on  
mode to standby-off mode after a certain  
period of time.  
Threading  
See “Loading”.  
Time code  
The timecode is a tape position  
information signal that includes time and  
frame data that are recorded onto the tape  
so as to facilitate searching of editing  
points and recorded scenes when viewing  
or editing.  
SMPTE timecode is applied to NTSC  
system, and EBU timecode is applied to  
PAL/SECAM systems. There are two  
kinds of signal recorded on tape. One is  
longitudinal timecode (LTC) recorded  
along the tape (the same way as audio and  
CTL signals). The other is vertical  
interval timecode (VITC). This code is  
inserted in the vertical blanking period and  
it is recorded on the tape with video  
signals.  
Search  
Viewing the picture or timecode by  
running the tape in fast forward or rewind  
mode, in order to search for a particular  
scene.  
Subcarrier  
Color information contained in a  
composite video signal. Its amplitude is  
for color saturation and its phase to color  
burst is for hue.  
Servo  
A mechanism that controls the number and  
phase of rotations of the head drum or  
capstan. Servo mechanism allows  
playback of the video signal without guard  
band noise. The reference signal of the  
servo control is normally a vertical sync  
signal.  
Superimpose  
To put one picture (or characters) onto  
another so that both can be seen at the  
same time.  
S-video  
A singal format in which Y (luminance)  
and C (chrominance) signals are separated  
to reduce interference between them so  
that noiseless images are reproduced.  
Servo lock  
Time data  
This refers to the synchronization of the  
phase of the drum rotation and the  
reference signal for the tape transport  
position, so that the video heads can trace  
the same pattern on the tape for playback  
and recording.  
This refers either to time data that is  
generated by a timecode generator or time  
data that is played back from a tape and  
read by a timecode reader.  
Sync  
A reference signal consisting of vertical  
and horizontal sync signals used for  
synchronizing the scanning patterns of the  
video camera and the monitor.  
Unloading  
When the EJECT button is pressed, the  
VCR automatically winds the tape back  
into the cassette case. Also called  
“Unthreading”.

Unthreading  
See “Unloading”.  
User bits  
These are also referred to as “user’s bits”.  
The user bits are a 32-bit segment of the  
timecode recording area. The user can  
select what to record in this segment and  
how to use the recorded data. For  
example, it can be used to record date  
information in addition to the timecode  
data or ID numbers for tape reels or  
programs.  
V (vertical)-blanking  
The portion of the video signal that occurs  
between the end of one field and the  
beginning of the next. During this time,  
the electron beams in monitors are turned  
off so that they can return from the bottom  
of the screen to the top without showing  
tracks of movement on the screen. When  
the position of v-blanking is not adjusted  
correctly, a horizontal black bar appears on  
the screen.  
Video gain  
Amount of amplification for video signals,  
expressed in decibels (dB).  
VITC  
Abbreviation of “Vertical Interval Time  
Code”. This timecode is inserted in the  
vertical blanking interval and recorded on  
the video tracks. It can be read at low  
speeds and during still playback, but not  
during high-speed playback.  
See also “LTC”.  
Y signal
