HDV FORMAT

HDV 1080i Specification

The Right Media for Optimum HDV Content

As 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. The Digital Master™

Tape has been designed and tested with HDV VTRs for

outstanding performance. It is an ideal and reliable choice

for affordable HD productions across a wide variety of

environments.

The HDV 1080i specification*¹for 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

frequency of 48 kHz/16-bit.

The HDV 1080i specification

provides the high picture

quality required for HDTV

programme production.

*1 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 & PLAYBACK

integrated into existing HD editing systems that support the

1080i or 720P format.

When up-converting the DV recording, the aspect ratio

displayed can be converted from 4:3 to 16:9. Display modes

can be selected from Squeeze, Edge Crop, or Letterbox.

*4 DV signals fed to the HVR-1500A’s i.LINK™ interface cannot be up-converted and output from

the HD-SDI interface.

Switchable Recording

HDV 1080i/DVCAM/DV and 60i/50i

The HVR-1500A can be switched between HDV 1080i*²,

DVCAM and DV (SP)*³recording 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 50i and 60i systems, eliminating

interface.

the need for two separate 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.

Cross-conversion Capability

With the optional HVBK-1520 Format Converter Board

installed, the HVR-1500A has a cross-conversion capability

that allows 1080i recordings to be converted to 720P signals,

as well as 720/30P (29.97 frames/s) recordings to be

converted to 1080/60i (59.94 fields/s) signals. These signals are

output*⁶from the HD-SDI interface. This allows source footage

and assets in different HDV formats to be integrated into the

same HD editing system.

Playback Compatibility with DV (25 Mb/s) Family

Formats

For operational versatility, the HVR-1500A 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. DVCPRO™ 25 recorded tapes (M-size

cassettes) can also be played back.

*6 There may be a delay of one frame in outputting cross-converted signals from the HD-SDI

interface.

Long Recording Time

Down-conversion Capability

The 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.

The HVR-1500A 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 analogue component, composite, or

S-Video connectors. This allows 1080i recordings to be edited

using non-linear 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, Letterbox, or Edge crop.

Up-conversion Capability

DVCAM/DV (4:3)

With the optional HVBK-1520 Format Converter Board

installed, the HVR-1500A has an up-conversion capability that

allows DV recordings and SD signals*⁴fed to the HVR-1500A to

be converted to 1080i or 720P signals and then output*⁵from

the HD-SDI interface. This allows DV recordings to be

systems. This allows operators to integrate the HVR-1500A exactly according to their system needs.

HD-SDI Interface

AES/EBU Interface

The HVR-1500A provides HD-SDI input/output capability.

1080/60i (59.94 fields/s) or 1080/50i HD-SDI signal can be input

in real time and these HDV recordings can be output in

normal playback and search modes. Analogue component

or analogue composite signals that are down-converted from

1080i HDV recordings can also be output from the HD-SDI

interface. 720/60P (59.94 frames/s) and 720/50P signals that

are up-converted from DV recordings or cross-converted from

1080i HDV recordings can also be output from the HD-SDI

interface in normal playback and search modes.

Time code and audio signals are embedded in this HD-SDI

signal. This interface allows operators to record programmes

directly from HD-SDI-based editing systems such as the

HDCAM™ and XDCAM™ HD systems. The HVR-1500A can be

utilized as a recorder that receives signals from a remote

camera such as BRC Series camera. This interface also allows

operators to integrate HDV footage and assets easily into

existing HD-SDI-based editing systems.

For professional digital audio needs, the HVR-1500A offers

AES/EBU digital audio inputs/outputs.

i.LINK Interface

The HVR-1500A is equipped with a 6-pin i.LINK*⁸*⁹interface.

This allows it to transfer digital video, audio and command

signals (in HDV, DVCAM, and DV format) to a compatible VTR

or non-linear editing system via just a single cable.

*8 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 Sony’s local office.

*9 DVCAM/DV signals fed to the HVR-1500A’s i.LINK interface cannot be up-converted to HDV

signals for recording to tape or to HD-SDI signals for output from the HD-SDI interface.

Analogue Interfaces

As standard, the HVR-1500A provides analogue 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-1500A can act as a source

feeder for an analogue editing system and as a simple

playback viewer in various applications such as broadcast

studios, OB vehicles and production offices. By installing the

optional HVBK-1505 Analogue Input Board, a full range of

analogue video and audio inputs also become available,

allowing a smooth transition to digital systems.

SD-SDI Interface

The HVR-1500A also provides SD-SDI input*⁷/output capability.

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

Tape and Head Cleaner for Reliable Operation

The HVR-1500A 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.

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. Fast forward and rewind speeds are an

impressive 85 times normal play speed. In HDV mode, the

colour picture search*¹⁰speeds 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.

*10 The colour picture search function can be controlled through the RS-422A interface.

OPERATIONAL CONVENIENCE

Built-in 2.7-inch LCD Monitor

The HVR-1500A is equipped with a

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*¹⁴in HDV mode.

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*¹⁵to create a pre-striped tape prior to editing. They

can also be output from the analogue and digital interfaces

*14 The availability of frame-accurate control is dependent on the connected editing controller.
