Time Code Input/Output
The HVR-1500 has a time code input/output capability to synchronize
time code when making tape copies.
Built-in Signal Generator
Equipped with a built-in signal generator, the HVR-1500 can
generate color 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-1500 is operating in DVCAM or DV mode*
16
to create a
pre-striped tape prior to editing. They can also be output from the
analog and digital interfaces to adjust other equipment in the system.

RM-280 Editing Controller, and nonlinear editing systems.
The RS-422A offers frame-accurate insert and assemble editing in
DVCAM mode. It can also be used for source feeding*
