Since the introduction of the worlds first 0-1 Component Oigital VTR, the OVR-1000/0VPC-1000,SonyO-1 VTRs have earned a well deserved reputation for excellence in component digital

signal recording. Component digital recording is now playing an increasingly important role in

editing, complex picture manipulation and archiving of film based programming byovercoming

the performance limitations of analog VTRs.

Sony has met the challenge of developing the technologies that are necessary to provide users

with even more advanced digital performance and now introduces its second generation

0-1 VTRs -the OVR-2000 and 2100.

Sonys advanced semi-conductor technology in devices such as VLSI and Gate Array Circuits

results in the compact size and light weight of the OVR-2000, which is of single crate

construction. Furthermore the OVR-2000 adopts a new playback system which dramatically

improves reliabili~ especially in normal speed playback.

To integrate the VTR effectively into component digital systems, component digital 1/0 ports are

fitted to the OVR-2000 as standard. To work in an analog environment, optional video and audio

NO and O/A converters are also available. The OVR-2000 accepts the three sizes of cassettes

(S, M and L), with a maximurry recording time of 6 minutes for S-size, 34 minutes for M-size and

94 minutes for L -size.

To provide adjustment free operation, the OVR-2000 incorporates an automatic compensation

systems for playback equalization and tracking, while the channel condition can be easily

monitored on its control panel.

The Sonys progressive digital VTR technology is condensed in various advantages of the

OVR-2000 especiallyas its compact size, low power consumption and reliable mechanism.

With these features, as well as its cost efficiency, the OVR-2000 will provide users with major

benefits in digital component post production.

.

FEATURES

However, when a OVR-2000 is required to work in an analog

environment, the BKOV-4224AO/42240A 0-1 SignalConverters and the OAO-A2000 Audio Converter Unit areavailable as accessories for video and audio A0/OAconversion.

I Adjustment-free Operation I

Automatic Playback EqualizationTo improve its operational performance, the OVR-2000 uses

an automatic compensation system for playback equaliza-tion. This automatically detects and compensates forplayback equalizing errors. RF gain and phase are auto-matically optimized in playback so that the error rate isminimized. This feature gives reliable and stable playbackpictures without continuous manual optimization.

-

I Highly Reliable Playback System I

The OVR-2000 adopts a new scanner containing eightplayback head tips, arranged in two groups of four. Atnormal playback speed, each program track is traced twiceby a pair of heads and each output is individually pro-cessed by the inner code error correction circuitry. Eachpair of corrected blocks, containing the same recorded

information, are then selectively added in a memory toreduce playback dependent errors. As the result, playbackerror rate is dramatically reduced, contributing to highly

reliable playback. With this unique playback technique,even if one of two groups of playback head tips are dam-

aged, playback is still possible in an emergency. Thesefunctions make the OVR-2000 highly reliable.

I State of the Art Electronics I

Compact, Lightweight and with Low Power

ConsumptionTaking full advantages of Sony's innovative semi-conductortechnology in VLSI, LSI and Gate Array circuits, theOVR-2000 is compact in size and low in weight, just 8U highand weighing 65 kg (1431b 5 oz}. This advanced technol-

ogy reduces number of PCB (Printed Circuit Boards} in theOVR-2000 to only ten without compromising its functions,contributing to the low power consumption of 400W.The compact mechanical construction of the OVR-2000results in it being a single unit VTR -two OVR-2000's can fitin the space of one OVR-1 000/0VPC-1 000, the current Sony0-1 VTR. Installing OVR-2000's will save space and allow

the space conscious design of editing suits and OB

(Outside Broadcasting} units.

Component Digital Inputs and Outputs As a Standard

Along with the growth in application for the 0-1 format,

many peripherals equipped with component digital 1/0

interface have appeared on the market. T o effectively

integrate the OVR-2000 into component digital systems, it is

equipped with digital input and output ports for both video

and audio as a standard. For system interfacing, both

parallel and serial digital 1/0 ports are provided for the

OVR-2000. The Serial digital interface, which is based upon

the SMPTE T 14.224, has the significant advantage of

handling component digital video, four channels of digital

audio, digital VITC and video index information on a single,

low cost coaxial cable.

Automatic CTLThe DVR-2000 has an automatic CTL system, eliminating

manual optimization of the tracking control in normal

playback.The automatic CTL system operates by continuously

monitoring the off-tape RF level from the Advance headsand feeding a signal back to the capstan servo control

system. Along with the automatic equalization system, thisfeature ensures high quality picture playback at all times.

Easy Channel Condition Monitoring

Channel Condition Checking and Logging

The DVR-2000 has the ability to check channel condition

during normal playback and confidence playback. Threecolored LED's (green, yellow, red) are incorporated in theBKDV-2010 Control Panel to check the channel condition ofboth video and audio. Each LED indicates the error rate

condition, green showing a good channel condition whilered indicates a poor channel condition.

When the error rate exceeds a threshold level, its time codedata is stored. The result of this channel condition loggingcan be displayed on the Diagnostics menu.The channel condition logger system eliminates the need forcontinuous watching picture monitors while recording or

playing back.

.

Sophisticated Control Panel Operation

All the information required for operation of the DVR-2000 is

provided on the large EL display (640 x 200 dots). Opera-tion items are logically categorized into eight main menus.These are easily accessed by using the eight menu keys,with the menu contents displayed on the large EL panel.Set-up or selections are easily made using the 12 functionkeys located under the EL display. The BKDV-2010 Control

Panel for the DVR-2000 is featured below.

~

Channel Condition Monitoring

Full details of each channel condition are provided in the ELdisplay of the control panel, with bargraph indication ofchannel condition. Channel condition either before or aftererror correction process can be displayed.These channel condition monitoring and logging featuresare very effective in evaluating recorded video/audio signalsduring a recording or on later playback.

The channel condition can also be accessed via theRS-232C port on the DVR-2OOO, and can be stored inexternal devices such as microcomputers according to the

application software. . .Television system and channel condition can be seen onthe control panel at all times.

.Interface information such as video, audio, time code and

reference are displayed on the EL panel..Cassette size, running direction, remaining tape time and

playback speed information is provided on the EL

display.

~

In the DVR-2000, the CTL record/playback and erasure

head is positioned in the lower drum to allow precise seNocontrol and accurate tracking adjustments. This CTL R/Phead position allows it to be extremely tolerant to tape

speed errors, greatly contributing to improved tape inter-

change.A separate stationary CTL head is provided for CTL signal

confidence, so that CTL signals can be checked on awaveform monitor during recording.

Easy Service and Maintenance \J

Internal Test Signal GeneratorThe OVR-2000 has a built-in test signal generator providingfive video test signals (Color Bar 100%, Color Bar 750;0,

Black, Multi-burst, Serial Oigitallnterface (SOl) CheckFields) and two audio test signals (1 kHz, 10 kHz), each of

which can be selected from a control panel menu. Thesebuilt-in video/audio test signals are useful for VTR mainte-

nance, system connection examinations or adjustment ofexternal NO and O/A converters.

Built-in Time Code Reader/Generator

The OVR-2000 has built-in L TC, ASTC (Audio Sector TimeCode) and VITC time code generators and readers. ASTC isa digital time code recorded in spare data bits in the digitalaudio sectors of the helical tracks. Both VITC (VerticalInterval Time Code) and ASTC can be read, even at slow

speeds and still frame, and can also be used for recording/playback of time code related to the source signal, either

video or audio. This capability to handle three time codes

greatly increases the editing efficiency of the OVR-2000.

I Three Cassette Sizes Accepted I

The OVR-2000 is designed to handle all three sizes ofcassette -S, M, and L-size. Maximum recording andplayback times are 6 minutes for S-size cassette, 34

minutes for M-size cassette, and 94 minutes for L-sizecassette. This allows an appropriate cassette size to beselected for different applications.

The DVR-2000 is of single unit construction, with all the PCB

(Printed Circuits Boards) of the DVR-2000 on plug-in boardsfor easy servicing with the supplied extension boards. Thenumber of components used in the tape transport area hasbeen drastically reduced for the high reliability and service-ability. The DVR-2000 employs a sophisticated self-diagnos-tics system to check the condition of the VTR during

operation. All the diagnostics information to aid mainte-nance is provided on the control panel's EL display. A

BYPASS Test feature is also incorporated in the DVR-2000to check whether each board is functioning properly. TheDVR-2000 also has built-in video/audio test signal genera-tors which are useful to check boards where a malfunctionis suspected.The control panel attached to the DVR-2000 can be

positioned in ten steps and then locked at any of ten

positions. Furthermore, the control panel attached to thefront panel can be completely removed and connected tothe rear panel of the VTR for high servicing.

The most critical aspect of a smooth tape path is maintain-ing correct tape tension. In the DVR-2000, tension regula-tion arms are provided on both the supply and take-up

sides. The additional take-up tension arm not only allowssmooth and precise tape tension control, but also greatlyimproves the response to the "Jog" dial operation.With the adoption of an improved larger diameter capstan,the DVR-2000 offers the wide range of pinch-on mode

playback and the response to the jog dial operation is alsoincreased.The loading mechanism is directly related to the tapetension control. By using an improved supply tension

regulation arm, tape tension can be precisely controlledeven while the tape is threading. This feature makes

possible the short loading time of six seconds for L-size

cassette, five seconds for M and S-size cassettes.

I Enhanced Applications I

Parallel Operation

The use of a BKOV-4224AO and a BKOV-42240A 0-1Signal Converter, in conjunction with two OVR-2000's, canform a range of recording/playback systems.

.4:2:2 picture plus key channel production (4:2:2:4 mode)

.Full band GBR plus key channel production (4 x 4 mode)

.Doubled horizontal resolution of 525/60 or 625/50 signals(8:4:4 H mode)

.Progressive scan 525/60 or 625/50 system(8:4:4 V mode)

Component Signals -From Acquisition to EditingWith the use of Betacam SPTM Camcorder, a BVW-075/075PBetacam SP VTR with 4:2:2 Serial Oigitallnterface and aOVR-2000, a signal can be retained in its component formfrom acquisition to editing, with no external decoder andencoder units.

Graphic OperationThis mode simplifies the recording of graphics with a

OVR-2000. After each edit, its OUT point is automaticallyregistered as the IN point of the next edit, allowing easyediting of images created with graphic computers or disk

based recorders.

Wider D-1 ApplicationsThe realization of compact and lightweight hardware willprovide the OVR-2000 with the probability to be used in the

OB (Outside Broadcasting) Van system or the automatictransmission system. This will extend the breadth of applica-tion of the 0-1 format VTR.

These applications will become more widely used in high-

end post production houses, where the recording/playbackof wide bandwidth key signals is a critical aspect.The BKDV-4224AD/4224DA can also be used as normal

ND and D/A units for the DVR-2000.

Film to Tape TransferThis mode provides improved efficiency in the editing of filmmaterial transferred to a DVR-2000 in a 525/60 system.

Once the IN point and field number of the first edit are set,the DVR-2000 will automatically decide the OUT point andfield numbers of the edits to follow so that each editmatches the 2-3 pull down sequence. The film to tapetransfer of the 625/50 system is carried out in the graphic

operation mode without any special conversion

requirement.

.

INTERFACE FACILITIES

ReferenceThe DVR-2000 can accept both serial digital and analog blackand burst signals (or an analog composite signal) as areference signal. One serial digital (with active loop-throughport) and one analog black and burst connector (with loop-through port) are fitted to the DVR-2000.

CF PulseAs component signals decoded from a composite source canbe recorded by the DVR-2000, color framing information isnecessary for later re-encoding of the signal. Therefore, theDVR-2000 has CF (Color Frame) pulse 1/0 ports in order tomatch the encoding and decoding axis. The use of this portextends the use of the DVR-2000's to systems having bothcomponent and composite equipment.

MonitorThe MONITOR port provides an output to monitor the RFenvelope of digital video and audio signals, or the CTL signalson a waveform monitor. As the DVR-2000 has a CTL confi-dence head, the CTL signal can be monitored even during

recording.

TriggerThe TRIGGER port enables signals from the MONITOR port tobe monitored without supplying an additional reference signalto the waveform monitor.
