Precautions to observe when using the SDTI signals

O The unit can record only if the SDTI input signals are 1a transfer signals in the DVCPRO50 or DVCPRO format selected by setup menu No. 012

SERVICE ONLY

SDTI signals

(SYS FORMAT).

However, when playback signals other than normal 1a playback signals have been input, recorded and EE picture and sound are not guaranteed.

O Editing operations can be performed only when all the video and audio signals as well as the time codes in the SDTI input signals are regular data based on the DVCPRO50 or DVCPRO format

selected by setup menu No. 012 (SYS FORMAT). O CUE signals are not transferred by the SDTI

interface.

O SDTI dubbing is not possible from tapes recorded using the DV or DVCAM format.

Use SDI when dubbing tapes recorded in the DV or DVCAM format.

O When playing back a DV or DVCAM format tape, DV compressed signals (Compliant with IEC61834- 2.) serve as the SDTI output.

O The video and audio signals in the SDTI output signals cannot be adjusted.

O During SLOW/STILL playback, the unprocessed video and audio signals are output as the SDTI output.

When these video and audio signals are to be monitored using another device, they may differ from the video and audio signals played back by this unit.
