USING EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
Backup Recording
CAUTION
• Set the IEEE1394 switch on both devices to either HDV
or DV.
• Start recording after making sure that both devices are
properly connected.

Backup Recording of the GY-HD100’s

Camera Image and Sound Through the

IEEE1394 Connector

The GY-HD100’s camera image and sound can be recorded
for backup on another component that is equipped with
IEEE1394 connector.

Connections

Use the GY-HD100 as the master unit.
Connect the master unit and the backup unit with a IEEE1394
cable.

Settings

Master unit (GY-HD100)
1.Set the IEEE1394 switch on left side of the GY-HD100.
2.Place in Camera mode.
3.Set the 1394 REC TRIGGER item on the OTHERS [2/2]
menu screen. XSeepage 78.
Backup unit
• Place in HDV/DV signal input mode.
* Depending on the used component, it may be necessary
to set “REMOTE SELECT”.
• When BR-HD50 is used, set the Backup Recording func-
tion to OFF.
• Insert the tape and set to STOP or REC PAUSE status.

Operation

Start and stop of recording on the backup unit takes place in
accordance with the operation of the REC/VTR trigger button
on the master unit.
(Depending on the GY-HD100 or the backup unit, the image,
audio, and/or time code may deviate from what they should
be at the points where the recording is started or stopped.)
MEMO
• When the backup recording is started, the “TRIGGER TO
DV” or “TRIGGER TO HDV” indication is shown on th e
LCD or in the viewfinder for approx. 3 seconds.
• When the Series Recording function of BR-HD50 is used,
the GY-HD100’s 1394 REC TRIGGER item should be set
to OFF.
• If the backup device is equipped with a feature to record
time codes input from the IEEE1394 connector (TC
DUPLICATE feature), time code data the same as on th e
master side can be recorded.
• When using BR-HD50 as a backup device and switching
GY-HD100 from the playback mode to the record mode,
noise will be noticed on the monitor output screen of BR-
HD50 (backup will be correctly recorded).
