DSR11s are good but with no front panel display or jog shuttle they can be a little annoying.
The good news is that Sony made a device called the RM-E300 edit controller.
It has a title function and can control 2 decks but we just use it for remote controlling a DSR11 feeder deck and monitoring the timecode.
You can leave the Lanc connected and still use 1394 control.
I bought one last year via Ebay & have been dead chuffed with it.
Here's one listed now with a buy it now of £25.00
Note - the auction is nothing to do with me - just spotted it and realised it was worth mentioning on here.
These come up fairly often, as do the Panasonic VW-EC300 with Panny 5 pin control - another very useful bit of kit.
