Connecting to a Computer Using a DV (IEEE1394) Cable

You can transfer recordings to a computer equipped with a IEEE1394 (DV) terminal or IEEE1394 capture board. Use the editing software supplied with your computer/capture board to transfer video recording from tape to computer. Refer to the instruction manual of the software.

A driver is preinstalled on Windows operating systems later than Windows 98 Second Edition and on Mac operating systems later than Mac OS 9, and will be installed automatically.

Users of Windows XP can also download the DV-PC Recorder from the Canon Homepage to record video/audio to the computer’s hard disk. For details, refer to the DV-PC Recorder Software leaflet. Use the optional CV-150F (4 pin–4 pin) or CV-250F (4 pin–6 pin) DV Cable.

Operation may not work correctly depending on the software and the specifications/settings of your computer.

If the computer freezes while you have connected the camcorder, disconnect and reconnect the DV cable. If the problem persists, disconnect the interface cable, turn off camcorder and computer, turn camcorder and computer back on and reconnect them.

The XL2 cannot be used with DV Messenger.
