  SONY HVR-1500 With FCPS2

  Posted by Nmr Staging & events on July 4, 2007 at 5:10 pm

  I am looking to add the Sony HVR-1500 to my suite, does anyone else use this deck or have something better?

  I have the Decklink HD Extreme card.

  Have you considered using instead a Sony M25 with an HD-Connect MI from Convergent Design? Same results, lots cheaper.

  Actually The HVR-1500 is a good bit faster when batching, so if you’re doing a lot of Offline-Online work where you’re re-batching loads of material nothing beats the HVR-1500. Only problem is that You can’t as of Sep. 7th. use the RS-422 control together with FCS2 because there’s a bug that makes it fail when trying to locate a clip. (read my other post on the subject).

  It’s a great machine if you need the speed. The HD 422 Uncompressed upscaling chip as far as I’ve been told, stems from the vastly more expensive HDSR Machine. It just sucks that there’s a bug with the 422 control.

  cheers
