HDV/DV Dubbing

(Cont’d)

When Using the GY-HD200U/GY-HD201E

as Recording Unit

(Dubbing From Another Videocassette)

1.Set the IEEE1394 switch on left side of the GY-HD200U/
GY-HD201E.
2.Connect the units with the IEEE1394 cable.
3.Turn ON bo th units.
4.Place the GY-HD200U/GY-HD201E in the VTR MODE.
Press the CAM/VTR button to turn on the VTR indicator.
5.Set the frame rate.
Set the FRAME RATE item (60/30, 50/25, 24) on the
VIDEO FORMAT[1/2] menu to match the HDV/DV signal
frame rate input from the IEEE1394 connector.

CAUTION
•Set the IEEE1394 switch on both devices to either HDV
or DV.
•Start recording after making sure that both devices are
properly connected.
6.Set the time code and user bit recording.
Set the TC DUPLI. item on the TC/UB/CLOCK menu
screen.
MEMO
In HDV format, the UB set in this device is recorded regard-
less of the setting.
7.Insert the videocassettes.
8.Start playback on the playback unit.
For details, see the instructions to the unit used for play-
back.
•The playback picture from the playback unit appears
on the GY-HD200U/GY-HD201E’s LCD monitor and
viewfinder screen.
9.Press the REC/VTR trigger button on the GY-HD200U/
GY-HD201E to start recording.
To temp ora rily pause th e recording, press the REC or
VTR trigger button.
To rest art the recording, press the REC or VTR trigger
button again.
10.When dubbing is completed.
Press the REC/VTR trigger button or the STOP button on
the GY-HD200U/GY-HD201E to stop recording, and then
stop playback on the playback unit.
MEMO
Depending on the player, sound may not be heard momen-
tarily from this device when switching modes from STILL to
PLAY.

Backup Recording

Backup Recording of this Device’s Cam-

era Image and Sound Through the

IEEE1394 Connector

This device’s camera image and sound can be recorded for
backup on another component that is equipped with
IEEE1394 connector.

Connections

Use this device as the master unit.
Connect the master unit and the backup unit with a
IEEE1394 cable.

Settings

Master unit (this device)
1.Set the IEEE1394 switch on left side of this device.
2.Place in Camera mode.
3.Set the 1394 REC TRIG. item on the OTHERS[2/2] menu
screen. XSeepage94.
For HDV mode, set the BACK SPACE [HDV] item.

Backup unit
•Place in HDV/DV signal input mode.
*Depending on the used component, it may be neces-
sary to set “REMOTE SELECT”.
•When BR-HD50 is used, set the Backup Recording
function to OFF.
Also, set REM SEL HDV/DV in the REMOTE[1/2] menu
of the BR-HD50 to ON or LOC+REM.
•Insert the tape and set to STOP or REC PAUSE status.
CAUTION
•Set the IEEE1394 switch on both devices to either HDV
or DV.
•Start recording after making sure that both devices are
properly connected.
•If the RET button is pressed during backup recording,
output from the IEEE1394 terminal is stopped, the image
is switched to the image recorded on this device, inter-
rupting the backup recording image.
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 this device 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
the LCD or in the viewfinder for approx. 3 seconds.
•When the Series Recording function of BR-HD50 is
used, this device’s 1394 REC TRIG. 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 the
master side can be recorded.
If the master unit tape is paused or stopped when the
master unit time code running mode is in REC RUN
mode, the time code for the slave unit stops.
•When using BR-HD50 as a backup device and switching
this device 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).
