capturing DVCPro on a DSR-1500AP
We have a DSR-1500AP and when I playback my DVCPro tape I get vertical lines all over the screen. The lines are about 10pixels wide and evenly spaced. I can sort of see the vision behind, but it is not very clear. I’m not sure if it is shot DVCpro50 or 25. And in fact I have not had any experience with this deck or format in the past. ANy ideas where to start?
Cheers in advance

Get a Panasonic deck. You can’t play back DVCPro on a Sony deck…

What you describe sounds like DVC Pro 50 being played in a 25 deck, hence my assertion that Sony can’t play DVC Pro. In my sleep deprived response, I should have said it can’t play back DVC Pro 50. Is your source tape 50? Remember, you can shoot 50 on a 25 tape, so don’t go by what the tape label says. Of course I’ve seen a really wierd artifact on 25 where a reused tape showed both the old shot and the new shot on the same frame. I’ll have to dig that out and steal a frame from it – it’s kinda’ weird….

The dsr 1500A only plays back dvcpro which is 25mb 4:1:1. DVCPRO 50 is 50 mb 4:2:2 and will not playback on the dsr-1500A. DVCPRO 50 playback requires a Panasonic vtr which is capable of playing back dvcpro 50.
FYI when playing back dvcpro in the dsr-1500A the only active outputs are the analog outputs not the firewire.
