S.two announces Digital Studio Recorder for post production (6/5/2008)

DSR™ answers need for fast, economical movement of uncompressed data to Post
 
S.two Corporation known for their industry-leading uncompressed portable production recorders, has announced the introduction of the DSR (Digital Studio Recorder) to economically speed the movement of uncompressed material through the Post Production environment.
 
Using S.two’s field-proven, uncompressed, file-based D.MAG removable Digital Film Magazines, the DSR™ is designed to replace expensive, service-intensive VTR’s.  The combination of familiar VTR functionality with the quality of uncompressed images up to 4K, the compatibility of standard DPX files, the flexibility of removable disk-based media and a low price point is a response to Post community requests.  Immediate access to the material from networked workstations or through real-time video interfaces allows transfer of DPX frames with metadata, audio and timecode intact without a need to modify existing infrastructure. The DSR™ features:
 
• Front-mounted control
• Full RS-422 edit and playback
• 2 Gigabit Ethernet network connections
• Built-in down converter
• Analog monitoring outputs
 
The DSR™ is machine room and tape operator friendly while extending the instant sharing of files and video throughout a facility.  Fully compatible with the S.two offline, archive and auto-conform products, the DSR™ allows Post facilities to serve both digital film capture and traditional film capture with a single broad-based solution.
 
Ted White S.two VP Sales comments, “Our customers have been asking for an economical digital replacement for the VTR—the DSR™ is S.two’s response.  We offer full VTR functionality and reliable removable media while adding industry-standard file structures, instant random access, and network and application compatibility. The DSR™ is a very exciting breakthrough addition to the S.two line.  We now have solutions for every aspect of a project’s lifecycle.”
