Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The DSR-11 compact DVCAM video recorder is equipped with i.LINK IEEE-1394 DV based I/O connection, multi-voltage operation, and both NTSC and PAL playback and recording capability. The DSR-11 can record and playback in either DVCAM or consumer DV formats, will accommodate both standard and mini size DVCAM and DV cassettes, and is able to be placed in either vertical or horizontal positions. The DSR-11 weighs only 6 lbs. 2 oz. With its compact design, it can be placed on top of a PC tower or on its side by using the supplied stand. The DSR-11 can record two channels of audio with 48 kFs/16 bit or four channels of audio with 32 kFs/12 bit sampling that is selectable through the menu. The DSR-11 is equipped with a 4-pin i.LINK jack that allows digital dubbing with virtually no quality loss. It can be connected to other VTR equipment with this connection as well as to video capture boards that support the DV IN/OUT interface (IEEE 1394). In addition, the DSR-11 can copy timecode through the i.LINK connection from a non-tape source (such as a PC) when recording in the DVCAM mode.

I never had to clean it inside. I can not do without this little thing.

I have been using this deck as a source deck for Final Cut Pro, to digitize tapes from my DV Camcorder. I also back up-edited programs back to DVCam tape with no loss of quality. It has also been a workhorse in the field. I've shot 2 plus hour seminars using the firewire out of the camcorder to the firewire in of the DSR-11. I have never had a failure. There aren't enough adjectives to describe how great this little deck is. How can something so small be such a huge and versatile tool for digital video production!?

4.0 out of 5 stars Extraordinario Caballo de Batalla para reproducir MINIDV y DVCAM, January 9, 2006

Luego de revisar varios modelos de MiniDV Player/Recorder de bajo precio, llegue a la conclusión de que este era el mejor... y en realidad no me equivoque. Reproduce y graba MiniDV y DVCAM (small and large cassette). Es una extraordinaria unidad para acompañar cualquier sistema de edición no lineal. Lo único que me parece un poco delicado es la tapa frontal del equipo (hay que bajarla manualmente para insertar el cassette y sus bisagras aparentemente se ven muy fragiles). Solo por eso no le otorgo las 5 estrellas. Lo Recomiendo!!!.
