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*1 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  
Track Pattern of the HDV 1080i Specification  
recording with a sampling  
Direction of tape travel  
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)*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 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*6 from 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*4 fed to the HVR-1500A to  
be converted to 1080i or 720P signals and then output*5 from  
the HD-SDI interface. This allows DV recordings to be

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*10 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.  
*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  
2.7-inch*11 colour LCD monitor with a  
high resolution of 211 K dots. This  
allows operators to view the input  
source during recording and check  
the playback picture in a 16:9  
widescreen aspect ratio. It can also  
display the 4-channel audio level  
meters and time code, as well as  
setup menus for video, audio and  
VTR settings. Three different display  
modes can be selected, as shown
