Backup recording function
In combination with DV equipment, BR-HD50 can perform continuous, long-hour recording.
BR-HD50 can be set as the backup unit connected to a DVcamcorder (GY-DV300/DV500/DV550/
DV5000, etc.). When the recording tape of the source unit nears its end, BR-HD50 can start recording,
enabling long-hour recording.
Connect the DV terminal of the source unit to the
IEEE1394 terminal of BR-HD50 with an IEEE1394
cable.
Set the INPUT SELECT switch on the
front panel to “HDV/DV”.
Set the REMOTE/LOCAL switch on the
front panel to “REMOTE”.
