The DVR-S201 now supports the new Cutting Master
Format(CMF). In the past, DVD-R discs could be used
for testing authored content, but a separate DLT tape
still had to be prepared as the actual mastering source.
Recently, however, a new DVD-R cutting master for-
mat was established for version 2.0 4.7GB DVD-R
media that will significantly streamline the DVD
authoring process. A Cutting Master Format DVD-R
disc recorded on the DVR-S201 can now be the final
master source at any facility that supports CMF
media, thereby eliminating the need for a separate
DLT tape.
