Thanks for your reply Tom.
The Keyspan twin serial adapter seems to be the lead to use, however looking into this I see it has Mini DIN8 ports where as the HVR-1500 has a DB9 port. I’ve looked into some sort of connector to join the two but have found no sign of such a cable unless I make it myself… any suggestions?
This is all for the cause of being able to insert edit, as using just firewire does not enable us to do so.
