Quickstart

Record With the DR-HD100

There are four modes of recording with the DR-HD100.

•Manual Recording

Control with the DR-HD100 transport buttons.

•JVC GY-HD

This recording mode is tailored for use with the companion, JVC, GY-HD100/101. Set the JVC GY-HD100/101 camcorder’s 1394 REC TRIGGER to SYNCRO, SPLIT, or

SERIES to enable control of the DR-HD100.

•Syncro Slave

Use this mode with camcorders that do not have DR-HD100 compatible external control or tapeless trigger functionality. In this mode, the DR-HD100 watches the record status of the camcorder and replicates its actions. A tape must be in the camcorder for this mode to function.

•External

Control recording with other camcorders that have DR-HD100 compatible external control or tapeless trigger capabilities.

Before beginning recording, verify that:

1.Time and date are set.

2.Recording format is set.

3.The DR-HD100 is connected to the video camera according to the explanation in “Connecting a DR-HD100 to a DV/HD Camcorder” on page 21.

4.Camera and DR-HD100 are powered on.

5.Tape is loaded in the camera.

External Control

If the camcorder supports an external control function, then tapeless recording is possible. Otherwise, the DR-HD100 control panel keys must be used to control recording in LOCAL control mode when there is no tape in the camcorder.
