*1 The HVBK-1520 Format Converter Board is required for up- or cross-conversion to these signals and output of these signals from the HD-SDI interface.

*2 The HVBK-1505 Analogue Input Board is required.

*3 Component, composite and S-Video inputs share the same BNC connectors.

*4 Component, composite and S-Video outputs share the same BNC connectors.

*5 HDV and DV streams share the same i.LINK connector.

*6 The HVR-1500A can play back but cannot record 720/30P signals. When 720/30P recordings are played back, their signals are converted to 720/59.94P signals. *7 In this table, "60i", "60P", and "30P" indicate a field rate of 59.94 Hz, a frame rate of 59.94 Hz and a frame rate of 29.97 Hz, respectively.
