The Sony DSR-1500AP DVCAM VTR is a compact, half rack player/recorder that makes it ideal in production vehicles, desktop editing suites or in any location where space is at a premium. The deck is an excellent solution for the complex nature of professional video editing today. It plays back the consumer DV format as well as DVCPRO recorded tapes (in addition to its native DVCAM). The unit will also record in DV making extra-long duration recordings simple. Signal outputs include composite video, Y/C, and analog component video standard. Aside from iLink (Firewire, IEEE1394), the video inputs are optional. Separate supplementary digital SDI input (DSBK-1501) and analog component input (DSBK-1504) boards is required. With its test signal generator (bars and tone), the DSR-1500AP can be a cornerstone of a modern video edit suite. This is the European standard PAL model.
