This DHR-1000 Video Recording Deck from Sony offers over 500 lines of horizontal resolution, 3x analog bandwidth, and significantly higher S/N ratio, to provide stunning video performance. Component Video Recording dramatically improves color rendition and accuracy while reducing color ’smear’. PCM Digital Stereo Audio offers a choice of either: two 12 bit stereo tracks, for near CD sound quality, or one 16 bit stereo track for DAT quality recording. The DHR-1000 provides 180 Minutes Recording on ’standard’ DV-180 cassette or 60 minutes on ‘mini’ DV-60 cassette. Digital Comb Filter separates Y/C for cleaner, sharper, more detailed images. Time Base Correction is featured for jitter-free video performance. Crystal Clear freeze frame and variable slow motion (fwd + rvs) playback give you greater flexibility in editing your tapes. Other editing features include: DV Interface In/Out that provides multiple generation dubs with virtually no loss in quality; 10 Segment Assemble Editor.
