RS-422A Control
The HVR-1500A is equipped with an RS-422A interface, which
is the industry standard for professional editing. This allows the
VTR to interface with other VTRs from Sony, editing controllers
such as Sony’s RM-280 Edit Controller and non-linear editing
systems. The RS-422A offers frame-accurate insert and assemble
editing in DVCAM mode. It can also be used for source
feeding*
14 in HDV mode.
*14 The availability of frame-accurate control is dependent on the connected editing controller.
For information on compatible editing controllers, please contact Sony’s local office.
HD and SD Reference Inputs
The HVR-1500A accepts both HD and SD reference signals.
Time Code Input/Output
The HVR-1500A has a time code input/output capability to
synchronise time code when making tape copies.
Built-in Signal Generator
Equipped with a built-in signal generator, the HVR-1500A can
generate colour 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-1500A is operating in DVCAM or DV
mode*
15 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.
*15 Recording these signals to tapes in the HDV format is not available.
