JVC SR-HD1500 500GB Blu-ray/HDD Recorder Deck

SR-HD1500 - General Description

The world’s first professional standalone Blu-ray / HDD recorder with SD card slot. Copy videos to a Blu-ray disc from a high-definition camcorder from the HDD, or down convert the videos and record them onto a DVD. The internal HDD also enables easy editing and dubbing of multiple discs. (Dubbing of commercial protected material is not possible)

These stand-alone Blu-Ray recorders feature a built-in hard disk drive for easy duplication and disc authoring without a PC.

With the SR-HD1500E and SR-HD1250E, users can record and author professional BDMV (with menu) or BDAV discs. Advanced MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 (H.264) encoding provides support for HD and SD sources, and a built-in format converter can down convert HD content for recording to a standard DVD. The units support BD-R or BD-RE (erasable) Blu-Ray discs.

The decks offer a variety of digital inputs, including USB and i.Link (IEEE-1394) ports and an SDHC card slot, for wide compatibility with today’s digital SD and HD camcorders. Composite and S-Video inputs provide interfaces for legacy analog devices as well.

Users can transfer videos from a camcorder or other device to the internal hard drive. Then, using a simple, menu-driven interface, edited clips can be assembled into a completed project and recorded to Blu-Ray discs. Discs can also be authored for auto-start or repeat playback, which provide ideal options for presentations, kiosks, and point-of-sale displays.

Unprotected DVD and Blu-Ray discs are easily duplicated as well. Simply insert the original disc into the drive, then specify how many copies to make. Disc content is temporarily stored to the hard drive, then burned to blank discs.

The SR-HD1500E features a 500 GB hard drive, plus an RS-232C terminal and support for .MOV files (for Apple Final Cut Pro), which makes it compatible with footage recorded with JVC GY-HM100E and GY-HM700E ProHD camcorders in the SP (19/25 Mbps) mode. Both models include component and HDMI outputs for flexible monitoring options.
