HD editing system, giving them the flexibility to choose between either a 1080i or a 720P system. The HVR-1500A can also be used as a standard definition DVCAM™ recorder, in which case the same editing features as the DSR-1500AP are offered.
VTRs, one for each standard. *2 In HDV mode, editing capabilities are not available. *3 The HVR-1500A supports DV (SP) mode only; DV (LP) mode is not available. Assemble or insert editing is not supported in DV (SP) mode.
†1 In this table, "60i", "60P", and "30P" indicate a field rate of 59.94 Hz, a frame rate of 59.94 Hz and a frame rate of 29.97 Hz, respectively. †2 The HVBK-1520 Format Converter Board is required for up- or cross-conversion to these signals and output of these signals from the HD-SDI interface. †3 The HVR-1500A can play back but cannot record 720/30P signals. When 720/30P recordings are played back, their signals are converted to 720/59.94P signals. †4 "DV" indicates DVCAM, DV (SP), and DVCPRO 25 formats.
OPERATIONAL RELIABILITY By packing sophisticated mechanical technologies into its robust aluminum diecast chassis, the HVR-1500A provides the reliable operation that today’s video professionals demand. Quick Response Mechanism Quick mechanical response is an essential requirement for professional video production. The HVR-1500A provides this feature by using a reliable direct reel and drum motor mechanism.
1-kHz tone or silent signal for audio. These signals can be recorded to tape when the HVR-1500A is operating in DVCAM or DV mode* to create a pre-striped tape prior to editing. They can also be output from the analogue and digital interfaces to adjust other equipment in the system.
*5 HDV and DV streams share the same i.LINK connector. *6 The HVR-1500A can play back but cannot record 720/30P signals. When 720/30P recordings are played back, their signals are converted to 720/59.94P signals. *7 In this table, "60i", "60P", and "30P" indicate a field rate of 59.94 Hz, a frame rate of 59.94 Hz and a frame rate of 29.97 Hz, respectively.
