Editing with the DV Terminal (IEEE1394)

This camcorder enables you to perform digital video editing. A DV cable transfers all dubbing signals including video and audio.

Cutting Unwanted Se- quences

See “Cutting Unwanted Sequences” on page 55, using the video equipment as the recording source.

Notes:

•Make sure that the video equipment to which you are recording can input dubbing signals via the DV terminal.

•When displaying the playback picture on the PC, you may find black bands around the image. This is caused by the differences of the image display sizes.

•“i.Link” refers to the IEEE1394-1995 industry specification and extensions thereof. The z logo is used for products compliant with the i.Link standard.
