Professional Control 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 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*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 your nearest Sony 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 synchronize time code when making tape copies. Built-in Signal Generator Equipped with a built-in signal generator, the HVR-1500A 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-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 analog and digital interfaces to adjust other equipment in the system. *15 Recording these signals to tapes in the HDV format is not available.
