FEATURES:HDV FORMATHDV 1080i SpecificationThe HDV 1080i specification*2 for the HDV format features 1,080 effective scanning lines (interlace scanning system) and 1,440 horizontal pixels. It adopts the MPEG-2 compression format (MP@H 14 for video),which uses 8-bit digital component recording with a sampling rate of 4:2:0. MPEG-1 Audio Layer II is used as the audio compression format, allowing for two-channel recording with a sampling frequency of 48 kHz/16-bit. The HDV 1080i specification provides the high picture quality required for HDTV program production.Compatible with Existing and New DV Videocassette TapesAs a member of the proven DV family of formats, the HDV format was developed from the outset to be compatible with all grades of DV videocassette tape. This allows operators to use high-grade DV videocassette tapes for applications where high robustness is critical, or consumer-grade videocassette tapes for more economical operations. For heavy-duty applications, the DigitalMaster high-grade cassette tape has been developed. This tape is compatible with the HDV, DVCAM, and DV formats.*2 Although it is not used in Sony HDV products, the HDV format also defines the HDV 720p specification, which features 720 effective scanning lines (progressive scanning system) and 1,280 horizontal pixels.VERSATILE RECORDING & PLAYBACKSwitchable Recording -HDV 1080i/DVCAM/DV and 60i/50iThe HVR-1500 can be switched between HDV 1080i*1 , DVCAM, and DV (SP) *3 recording modes, providing full flexibility to record in either standard definition or high definition depending on your production needs. In addition, it can be switched between 60i and 50i modes, eliminating the need for two separate VTRs, one for each standard.*3 The HVR-1500 supports DV (SP) mode only; DV (LP) mode is not available. Assemble or insert editing is not supported in DV (SP) mode.Playback Compatibility with DV (25 Mb/s) Family FormatsFor operational versatility, the HVR-1500 is designed to play back DV (25 Mb/s) family format recorded tapes without a mechanical adaptor and without having to switch playback modes on the menu. DVCPROTM 25 recorded tapes (M-size cassettes) can also be played back.Long Recording TimeThe HDV format adopts the same track pitch and tape speed as the DV format, thus offering the same recording time – a maximum of 276 minutes when recording on a PHDV-276DM DigitalMaster® standard cassette tape and 63 minutes when recording on a PHDVM-63DM DigitalMaster mini cassette tape. The DVCAM format adopts a wider track pitch than the HDV/DV format (15 µm compared to 10 µm), and offers a maximum recording time of 184 minutes on a PDV-184N standard cassette tape and 40 minutes on a PDVM-40N mini cassette tape.Down-conversion CapabilityThe HVR-1500 has a built-in down-conversion capability that allows 1080i recordings to be output as 480i and 576i signals from the i.LINK® and SD-SDI interfaces. These signals can also be output from the analog component, composite, or S-Video connectors. This allows 1080i recordings to be edited using nonlinear editing systems running DV editing software or to be viewed on an SD monitor. When down-converting the 1080i recording, the aspect ratio displayed can be converted from 16:9 to 4:3. Display modes can be selected from Squeeze or Edge crop.*"60i" indicates a field rate of 59.94 Hz.**The HVR-1500 can play back but cannot record DVCPRO 25 signals. PROFESSIONAL INTERFACESA full range of professional interfaces are available, allowing for flexible analog or digital configurations in both SD and HD systems. This allows operators to integrate the HVR-1500 exactly according to their system needs.HD-SDI InterfaceThe HVR-1500 provides an HD-SDI output*4 *5 capability, through which 1080/60i or 1080/50i HDV recordings can be output in normal playback and search modes. Time code and audio signals are embedded in this HD-SDI output. This interface allows operators to integrate HDV footage and assets easily into existing HD-SDI-based editing systems such as the HDCAMTM and XDCAMTM HD systems.*4 HDV signals fed to the HVR-1500’s i.LINK interface cannot be converted and output from the HD-SDI interface. The i.LINK input signal must be recorded to the HDV tape first.*5 DVCAM/DV playback signals cannot be up-converted for HD-SDI output.SD-SDI InterfaceThe HVR-1500 also provides SD-SDI input*6 /output capability. Time code and audio signals are embedded in the SDI signal. This allows the HVR-1500 to connect with a wide variety of digital equipment including SDI-based editing systems.*6 SD-SDI signals fed to the HVR-1500’s SD-SDI interface cannot be up-convereted to HDV signals for recording to tape or to HD-SDI signals for output from the HD-SDI interfaceAES/EBU InterfaceFor professional digital audio needs, the HVR-1500 offers AES/EBU digital audio inputs/outputs.*9*9 AES/EBU input for SD recording only.i.LINK InterfaceThe HVR-1500 is equipped with a 6-pin i.LINK *7 *8 interface. This allows it to transfer digital video, audio, and command signals (in HDV, DVCAM, and DV format) to a compatible VTR or nonlinear editing system via just a single cable.*7 i.LINK is a trademark of Sony used only to designate that a product contains an IEEE 1394 connector. Not all products with an i.LINK connector will necessarily communicate with each other. For information on compatibility, operating conditions, and proper connection, please refer to the documentation supplied with any device with an i.LINK connector. For information on devices that include an i.LINK connection, please contact your nearest Sony office.*8 DVCAM/DV signals fed to the HVR-1500’s i.LINK interface cannot be up-convert ed to HDV signals for recording to tape or to HD-SDI signals for output from the HD-SDI interface.Analog InterfacesAs standard, the HVR-1500 provides analog output interfaces for video and audio. These include composite, component, and S-Video (Y/C) outputs and two channels of audio output (via XLR connectors). Using these interfaces, the HVR-1500 can act as a source feeder for an analog editing system and as a simple playback viewer in various applications such as broadcast station studios, OB vehicles, and production offices. By installing the optional HVBK-1505 Analog Input Board, a full range of analog video and audio inputs also become available, allowing a smooth transition to digital systems. PROFESSIONAL CONTROLRS-422A Control The HVR-1500 is equipped with an RS-422A interface, which is the industry standard for professional editing. This allows the VTR to interface with other Sony VTRs, editing controllers such as the Sony RM-280 Editing Controller, and nonlinear editing systems. The RS-422A offers frame-accurate insert and assemble editing in DVCAM mode. It can also be used for source feeding*10 in HDV mode.*10 The availability of frame-accurate control is dependent on the connected editing controller.For information on compatible editing controllers, please contact your nearest Sony office.HD and SD Reference InputsThe HVR-1500 accepts both HD and SD reference signals.Time Code Input/OutputThe HVR-1500 has a time code input/output capability to synchronize time code when making tape copies.Built-in Signal GeneratorEquipped with a built-in signal generator, the HVR-1500 can generate color bars or black burst for video, and a 1-kHz tone or silent signal for audio. These signals can be recorded to tape when the HVR-1500 is operating in DVCAM or DV mode*11 to create a pre-striped tape prior to editing. They can also be output from the analog and digital interfaces to adjust other equipment in the system.*11 Recording these signals to tapes in the HDV format is not available. OPERATIONAL RELIABILITYBy packing sophisticated mechanical technologies into its robust aluminum diecast chassis,the HVR-1500 provides the reliable operations that today’s video professionals demand.Quick Response Mechanism Quick mechanical response is an essential requirement for professional video production. The HVR-1500 provides this feature by using a reliable direct reel and drum motor mechanism. Fast forward and rewind speeds are an impressive +/- 85 times normal play speed. In HDV mode, the color picture search*12 speeds are +/-8 and +/-24 times normal play speed, and in DVCAM mode they are between -60 and +60 times normal play speed. In editing environments, where speed and time are critical, this mechanism reduces the frustration editors often feel when they are searching for specific scenes.*12 The color picture search function can be controlled through the RS-422A interface.Tape and Head Cleaner for Reliable Operation The HVR-1500 incorporates a tape cleaner that adopts a high-grade sapphire blade. This tape cleaner helps prevent signal dropouts by cleaning away particles that accumulate while the tape is running. The recorder also incorporates a head cleaner to maintain the performance of the drum heads. These cleaners improve the reliability of recording and playback.OPERATIONAL CONVENIENCEBuilt-in 2.7-inch LCD MonitorThe HVR-1500 is equipped with a 2.7-inch*13 color LCD monitor with a high resolution of 211 K dots.
