As the VTR recorder of a camcorder, the DSR-1 offers outstanding performance in the acquisition process. When the DSR-1 is combined with Sony's DXC-D30 Digital Camera, it becomes the DSR-130, an ideal DVCAM digital camcorder thus achieving a totally digital signal path and perfect ClipLink™ operation. Remaining in the digital domain throughout the video production from acquisition to editing enhances editing efficiency. Camera set up data recording and time code display on the viewfinder can be also shown thanks to closer communication between the camera and the VTR.
