True Digital Camcorder
The DSR-300 is a “True Digital
Camcorder”. The signal is maintained
in the digital domain. This allows for
higher image quality, free of artifacts
and the loss of resolution typical of
multiple A/D and D/A conversion. This
is a major advantage for the user.

CCD sensors, which result in high
sensitivity, a low smear level, a high
signal-to-noise ratio of 62 dB and a high
horizontal resolution of 800 TV lines.
Low Smear Level
The Power HAD CCD sensors give a
low smear level of -110 dB (typical).
This provides more freedom to shoot
high-light subjects.
High Sensitivity
The Power HAD CCD sensors achieve a
high sensitivity of F 11.0 (at 2000 lx,
3200 K), the same sensitivity as that of
the Sony DXC-D30. This allows for
greater opportunity to shoot under
extremely low-light conditions.

High Mobility
The DSR-300 is remarkably
portable with the following
features.

● Compact and Lightweight

● Low Power Consumpution

By adopting high-density circuit boards
and a smaller recording head drum, the
DSR-300 is remarkably small. It weighs
only 5.7 kg (12 lb 9 oz) including a lens,
viewfinder, tape, lithium-ion battery and
microphone.

The DSR-300 camera head uses only
20 W. A maximum of approximately
80 minutes recording time can be
achieved with one fully-charged BP-L40
Lithium-ion battery.

● Compact and Lightweight
BP-L40 Lithium-ion Battery
The Sony BP-L40 is a newly developed,
compact Lithium-ion battery for
professional use, which is designed to
match the body height of the DSR-300.
It has a high charge capability in a small
and light package, providing continuous
camcorder operation for approximately
80 minutes.
Since Lithium-ion batteries do not suffer
from a “memory effect”, they do not have
to be fully discharged to remain their full
power capacity.

Notes:
A fully-charged BP-L60A lasts for up to
approximately three hours of recording time.
A fully-charged BP-L90A lasts for up to
approximately four hours and fifty minutes
recording time.

● Compact Crew Package with
the LC-300SFT
For acquisition, you need a compact
crew package. The Sony LC-300SFT is
a soft carrying case exclusively designed
for the DSR-300. It is small and
lightweight (3.1 kg /6 lb 13 oz). With
several outside and inside pockets, it
can hold shooting accessories such as
batteries, a battery charger, wireless
receiver, and other items as well as the
DSR-300 with a lens, VF and
microphone attached. The case is easy
to carry, using the robust shoulder belt;
a single person can transport all the
required equipment.

● 10-bit DSP
(Digital Signal Processing) LSI
Like the DXC-D30, the DSR-300
includes 10-bit DSP LSI, technology that
delivers one of the best picture
performance in the industry. The
DSR-300 also inherits innovative camera
features such as TruEye™ and
DynaLatitude™ technologies.

● TruEye™ Process
The TruEye function is Sony’s term for
innovative digital signal processing
technology. In conventional RGB analog
or digital processing, some non-linear
signal processing takes place after
gamma correction, such as white clip
and knee correction, and can result in
hue factor distortion - a phenomenon
that is particularly obvious in extreme
high-light conditions. This problem is
virtually eliminated by the TruEye
process which manages video signal
data at three levels - brightness, hue,
and saturation - exactly as the human
eye works. The result is reproduced
images with a wide dynamic range and
without hue distortion.

Superb Picture Quality

Notes:
The Sony BP-L60A/L90A can also be used with
the DSR-300.
The Sony NP-1B and the BP-90A NiCd Batteries
can also be attached to the DSR-300 using the
Sony DC-L1 and DC-L90 respectively.

The DSR-300 captures superior pictures
by adopting a 10-bit DSP and three
1/2-inch Power HAD CCDs.

● 1/2-inch Power HAD™ CCD
The DSR-300 is equipped with three
1/2-inch interline-transfer Power HAD

Conventional Camera

DSR-300 (TruEye)

● DynaLatitude™ Functions
The DSR-300 also uses the
DynaLatitude process, a unique feature
based on the TruEye system.
DynaLatitude minimizes video level
distortion based on video signal
histograms in order to utilize the limited
dynamic range of the video signal
standard by adaptively managing the
contrast of each pixel. The DynaLatitude
feature brings a new dimension to other
technologies such as Dynamic Contrast
Control (DCC).

Operational Convenience and Comfort
The DSR-300 achieves a new level of
comfort, operational convenience and
simplicity with the following features.

● DynaFit™ Shoulder Pad
The DSR-300 is equipped with a
“DynaFit “ shoulder pad, which is made
of a shape-memory material. This
innovative shoulder pad does not require
forward/backward adjustment. It
comfortably molds to any shoulder
without slipping, maintaining a very good
balance.

● Video Light Connector for
Anton Bauer Ultralight 2
An optional Anton Bauer Ultralight 2 can
be directly attached to the DSR-300
using the video light connector. This
system is powered from the camcorder’s
attached battery. Light ON/OFF can be
controlled manually or can be
synchronized automatically with the REC
start function of the DSR-300.

● Skin Detail with Auto Detection
of Active Area
The Skin Detail function of the DSR-300
gives the subject a pleasing facial
complexion, while maintaining the
sharpness of other areas. The
designated active area of Skin Detail
can be set by simply adjusting the Area
Detect Cursor on the viewfinder screen
and using the SKIN SET button on the
camera’s side panel. The color range of
the Skin Detail active area and Skin
Detail level can also be set from the
viewfinder menu, and it is capable of
color and detail corrections within the full
range of visible spectrum (360˚ range).

● Black Stretch and Compress
Contrast in the black area of the image
can be variably adjusted using the Black
Stretch/Compress Control function.
Black Stretch emphasizes contrast in the
dark area, while Black Compress
enhances or deepens darkness.

● Selectable Built-in Filters
The DSR-300 has four built-in filters:
3200 K/3000 K (switchable via the
Viewfinder menu), 5600 K, 5600 K+ 1/8
and 5600 K+ 1/64. This four-filter
construction is the same as used in
Sony 2/3-inch cameras such as the
DXC-D30, and makes the DSR-300
suitable for use under virtually any light
condition.

The LIGHT switch located on the frontright side of the camcorder can set this
to manual or automatic control. The
DSR-300 is the first Sony professional
camera to support this internal light
switching system.

● Menu Control by Jog Dial
Operation
The DSR-300 incorporates a jog dial
controlled from the viewfinder menu. The
user simply selects his or her desired
menu item and sets the value by easy,
one-fingered jog dial operation. This jog
dial means that fewer control
button/switches are required on the
camcorder,
and therefore
contributes to
the unit’s
simple design.

● CA-WR855 Camera Adaptor
(for the WRR-855A)
A new wireless receiver case has been
developed specifically to accommodate
the Sony WRR-855A Wireless Receiver.
The Sony CA-WR855 Camera Adaptor
attaches directly to the DSR-300 via
a V-shoe attachment and a direct
audio/power connection interface.
A Lithium-ion battery can also be directly
attached to the rear panel of the
CA-WR855 via the V-shoe attachment.
This allows easy battery replacement
even when the WRR-855A is mounted.

videotrack Video Auxiliary area of
DVCAM cassette tapes. This function is
called SetupLog. It is useful for the
camera operator not only when the
same shot has to be re-taken, but also
when re-shooting or operating
conditions have to be checked during a
particular shoot.

● Dual Zebra
The DSR-300 has two simultaneous
types of zebra patterns - ‘ZEBRA 1’ and
‘ZEBRA 2’. ‘ZEBRA 1’ can be set within
a range of 70 IRE to 90 IRE, in 1 IRE
steps. ‘ZEBRA 2’ provides a zebra
pattern in any area with a more than
100% video level. Either ZEBRA 1 or
ZEBRA 2 can be displayed. Dual zebra
display - to show both ZEBRA 1 and 2 is also possible.

The DSR-300 is equipped with a
MONITOR OUT connector (BNC). By
connecting an external picture monitor,
the user can check shooting conditions
with superimposed characters displayed
on the viewfinder. This character
superimposition can easily be switched
ON or OFF using the MONITOR OUT
CHARACTER switch under the
right-side cover of the operational panel.

The DVCAM Format
Based on the DVCAM format, the
DSR-300 delivers high quality, efficient
recording capabilities.

● DVCAM Recording Format
The Sony DVCAM recording format has
high video and audio quality and
reliability for professional use. The 8-bit
component digital recording with a 5:1
compression ratio and sampling at the
rate of 4:1:1 provides superior picture
quality, a superb multi-generation
capability and excellent production
flexibility.

● Long Recording Time
(maximum 184 minutes)
The DSR-300 boasts remarkably long
recording time. Both mini cassettes
(PDVM series) and standard cassettes
(PDV series) can be used with the
DSR-300. In using the PDV-184ME
(Standard cassette) the DSR-300
provides a maximum recording time of
184 minutes.

● Consumer DV Playback
The DSR-300 is capable of playing back
the consumer DV format, which is one of
the great advantages of the DVCAM
format.
● 26-pin VTR Interface Capability

● Supplied Switch Guard
A removable Switch Guard is provided
with the DSR-300 to help prevent
mis-operation of the EZ Mode, AUTO
IRIS Mode and ATW buttons. It simply
covers these buttons, when they are not
in use. The guard has five tiny holes for
operator to see the LED indicators for
the EZ mode,
BACKL, STD, SPOTL (A. IRIS) Mode
and ATW buttons while shooting.

With the 26-pin VTR interface, the
DSR-300 can feed camera output
signals to an external recorder. This
function enables parallel recording or
back-up recording by using an external
VTR. Depending on the external VTR
connected to the DSR-300, camera
output signals can be selected from
component/VBS or Y/C signals by using
the EXT VTR OUTPUT switch on the
operational panel. Also, VTR Recording
Mode is selected from PARALLEL,
INT (Internal) ONLY and EXT (External)
ONLY by using the VTR TRIGGER
switch positioned on the operational
panel.

● Total Level Control System
(TLCS)
If incoming light is outside the range of
the automatic Iris Control (either above
or below), the DSR-300 is still able to
achieve correct picture exposure by
using the Iris Control in combination with
Auto Gain Control (AGC) and CCD AE
(Auto Exposure, uses variable CCD
shutter speeds). This is called the Total
Level Control System (TLCS), which
ensures ease of operation for this
high-end professional camera while also
maintaining low-noise characteristics.

Programmable

● Full Color Picture Playback

Without an External Adapter
The DSR-300 allows full color playback
in the field without an external adapter,
making it easy to verify recording
results. Material can be reviewed in the
viewfinder with two channel audio
signals.
● Edit Search
The DSR-300 incorporates an Edit
Search function. It’s control button is
located on the side panel to allow easy
access while shooting.
● Time Code Superimposed
During Playback and Record
For operational convenience while

shooting, the time code is superimposed
on the viewfinder screen or MONITOR
OUT screen, even during playback.
● Freeze Mix Function
With conventional cameras, when the
camera operator needs to shoot a
subject in the same framework as that of
a previously recorded subject, it is very
difficult to perfectly re-position the
subject. With the DSR-300, a picture
previously recorded on the DVCAM tape
can be superimposed on the viewfinder
screen, so that the camera operator can
easily frame or re-position the subject
just as in the previous shot. Combined
with the SetupLog function, the retake
shot become a breeze.

Ease of Operation
To ensure the best possible results with simple operation,
the DSR-300 incorporates:
