you're probably right,
and somethng has to give to make these decks affordable. although i'm prepared to believe that sony spends a fortune working out how to take some freatures OUT :-) all our rooms work in DV, but we generaly have to capture from a central rack. so we get DV from the DSR1500 converted to SDI converted back to DV for off-lining. and there is a delay in the conversion back to DV that is USUALY -3frames, but not ALWAYS, so the burn in is important. (timecode goes via a keyspan adapter) if we capture whole tapes, it;s easy enough to cross-check a frame. for log & capture, it;s too hard, and we use a floating DSR11. thanks, ian nick
I went and looked thru our DSR-1500 manual today.
Besides getting a headache from twisting my mind into Sony deck speak, I found a reference to character out being on composite video only, which I believe confirms your original suspicion. Seeing as how the menus are SO USER FRIENDLY (not) that's a good thing I guess. Otherwise we would have a permanent thread here on how you have to recapture after turning off the character display to get rid of the timecode burn in your DV captures. Ian
