Sony DSR-1500AP DVCAM Compact Videocasette Recorder

 Sony DSR-1500AP DVCAM Compact Videocasette Recorder - SONY The go-anywhere, do-anything digital videocassette recorder.
Because a quick turnaround is essential in professional video production, it's important to ensure your editing equipment won't slow you down. The new DSR 1500 DVCAM Editing Recorder from Sony offers a host of professional features and built-in flexibility.

Various optional interface boards let you configure the DSR1500 to suit a range of video applications, from simple playback to high-quality source feeding for linear or non-linear editing. Its space-saving, half-rack design makes it ideal for installation in OB vehicles and in desktop editing systems.

Play back compatible with DV formats, the SONY DSR 1500AP also ensures an easy migration path to more sophisticated systems.

Playback Compatibility:
The DSR-1500 is designed to playback DV (25 Mb/s) recorded tapes without a mechanical adaptor – and without requiring menu switching of playback modes before use. This playback versatility includes consumer DV recorded tapes in SP mode and DVCPRO* recorded tapes. And it is possible to use these tapes directly as editing source material with ±0 frame accuracy. *Playback of DVCPRO is now available via iLink/FireWire but not via SDTI (QSDI).

Quick, Responsive Mechanism:
The DSR 1500P provides very quick response through the use of a reliable direct reel and drum motor mechanism. Fast forward and rewind speeds are an impressive 85 times play speed, with a maximum search speed of 60 times during color playback. Search mode can be controlled through the RS-422A interface. In edit-ing, where speed is of vital importance, this frees the editor from the frustration of slow operation and speeds the editing process.

Excellent Digital Slow Motion and Jog
The DSR-1500 provides a variable speed playback function with a range of -0.5 to +0.5 times normal play speed. Within this range, the DSR-1500A plays back noiseless, digital slow-motion pictures as well as clear jog sound, making it easy to locate editing points quickly and accurately.

iLInk/FireWire Input/Output Native Port:
iLink/FireWire interface is based on the IEEE 1394 standards, enabling a single cable to simultaneously carry digital video and audio signals, as well as data and control signals, with virtually no quality deterioration. This digital connection offers an ideal solution for interconnecting nonlinear editing systems as well as a number of other computer-related products.
