he Sony DSR-200 Digital Camcorder is being used around the
world for a variety of professional video applications. A compact
and lightweight body, coupled with the superior picture quality of
digital signal processing DSP and the DVCAM™ format, make it an ideal
acquisition tool.
In order to meet increasing demands of the video professional, Sony is
now introducing an enhanced version - DSR-200A Digital Camcorder.
This camcorder incorporates many new features including a minimum
illumination of 3 lx, 16:9/4:3 aspect ratio capability, OSD (On Screen
Display) ON/OFF capability, Time/Date superimposition and many others.
With these additional features, the DSR-200A is the ideal choice for
various demands of video journalists, event videographers, stringers
and production houses.
DSP Digital Signal Processing
The DSR-200A offers superior pictures by
using 10-bit digital signal processing. DSP
technology brings high stability and reliability.
In addition, the digital signal is digitally
transferred from the camera to the VTR without
any signal degradation and minimal signal
loss.
Three CCDs
The DSR-200A incorporates three 1/3-inch
CCDs which contribute to the high fidelity of
the DSR-200A’s color reproduction and its
compactness. Each CCD consists of 410,000
pixels (effective 380,000 pixels).
DVCAM Recording and Playback
The DSR-200A uses the DVCAM format to
provide high video and audio quality and
reliability for professional use. The 8-bit
component digital recording with a 5:1
compression ratio and sampling at the rate of
4:1:1 provides superior picture quality and
multi-generation performance.
DV Playback
The DSR-200A is capable of playing back
standard size consumer DV format tapes.
(SP mode only)
Long Recording
and Operating hours
Standard size DVCAM cassettes should be
used for recording with the DSR-200A. With
the standard DVCAM cassette, it can record
up to 184 minutes. With three Sony NP-F950
Battery Packs in the Sony NPA-10000/B
Battery Holder, the unit typically achieves
operation of up to 450 minutes (full charge)/
405 minutes (normal charge) without zooming
or power on/off operation, or 240 (full charge)/
210 minutes (normal charge) with zooming
and power on/off operation.
High Quality Audio Recording
The DSR-200A is capable of PCM (Pulse Code
Modulation) digital recording of stereo sound
both in 32 kHz mode (4-channel/12-bit
non-linear) and in 48 kHz mode (2-channel/
16-bit linear). In 32 kHz mode, the DSR-200A
records audio on two channels during
shooting, and another stereo channel can be
added. If higher sound quality is required,
equivalent to DAT, record in 48 kHz mode.
