• The cue audio on a DVCPRO recorded tape cannot be 

played back.

• Recording in DVCPRO format is not supported.
• A DV (LP) recorded tape cannot be played back.

There are two sizes of cassette: standard (L) and mini (S). 
You can use either size with this unit.
The unit also accepts standard (L) and medium (M) sizes 
of DVCPRO cassette. 
• When a cassette is inserted, the reel mechanism of the 

unit automatically adjusts to the size of the inserted 
cassette.

• A cassette adapter is not required.

The following digital interfaces can be used with the unit.
i.LINK(HDV/DV): This provides i.LINK input/output 

supporting HDV 1080i and DVCAM/DV formats.

SDI/AES/EBU: This provides SD digital video/ audio 

input and output.

HD-SDI: This provides HD-SDI output when playing 

tapes recorded in HDV format.

The unit can also use the following analog interfaces.
Analog video: These interfaces include an SD component, 

HD component, composite, and S-video output.
The same BNC type output connectors are used to 
output signals in 4 different formats selected with 
menu items for output.
Also, the unit is equipped with a dedicated monitor 
connector to output composite video, so that when 
playing a tape recorded in HDV format a down-
converted signal can be viewed on an external 
monitor. This output can also include superimposed 
timecode, operating mode indications, error 
messages, and other text information. Further, 
installing the option board HVBK-1505 enables the 
unit to support a component (SD signal only), 
composite and S-video input.

Analog audio: The unit has two audio channels for output. 

When in 4-channel mode, the two audio channels can 
be output either as channels 1 and 2 or as channels 3 
and 4.

The analog output interfaces are provided as standard so 
that the unit can readily be used as a viewer, for example, 
at broadcasting stations and aboard outside broadcast vans 
without requiring any option boards. Inputting analog 

video and audio signals requires the optional HVBK-1505 
Analog Input Board.

This unit supports both 60i and 50i formats. You can 
switch between these signal formats with a menu setting.

For details of switching signal formats, see “Setting the 
System Frequency” (page 25).

Not only for recording and playback with a VCR 
connected, but also when downloading a signal edited with 
a computer, or uploading from this unit to a computer, both 
60i and 50i formats are supported. However, format 
conversion is not supported.
Note that for this unit, 60i indicates a field frequency of 
59.94 Hz.

The unit is equipped with a 2.7-inch (16:9) color LCD 
monitor, for checking content during recording and 
playback. It also displays the setup menu, audio levels, unit 
status, and other superimposed text information.

The mechanism is extremely durable and reliable, 
including an aluminum diecast deck, two direct drive reel 
motors, and head cleaner.
The footprint is small – two units can be mounted 
alongside in a 19-inch rack, making the unit suitable for 
desktop operation in cramped situations and as a feeder for 
nonlinear editing.
In a relay vehicle, the unit can also be used as a viewer 
supporting various analog and digital formats.

The unit can be operated by remote control from an editing 
control unit that supports the i.LINK inferface, the RS-
422A interface or an optional SIRCS 

1)

 -compatible 

remote control unit such as the DSRM-10.

1) SIRCS (Sony Integrated Remote Control System): A command protocol 

to remote control Sony professional videocassette recorders/players.

An internal timecode generator and reader enables 
timecode compliant with SMPTE (for 1080/60i)/EBU (for 
1080/50i) format to be recorded and played back.
