The Sony DSR-45AP PAL system DVCAM VTR offers comprehensive and intelligent features that make it perfect for linear and nonlinear edit environments both. The machine offers the ever-present DV/FireWire/i.LINK connection. It also gives you XLR audio output. For integration in linear suites, Component, Y/C, Composite inputs and outputs are present. Reference video input is there (in the composite input BNC) as is RS-422 and RS-232 (and LANC) machine control connections. There are time code BNC connectors for input and out. Convenience precludes the Monitor Video and Audio connections. Likewise the built-in LCD monitor for menu set-up and video/audio confidence. In addition, the DSR-45P offers one-touch duplication and the ability to preset user bits and time code, all in a compact and lightweight package. The DSR-45A features a larger 2.5-inch LCD screen than the previous mode. All other features, functions and connectors are the same as before.
