HDV/DV Dubbing

Connecting the GY-HD250/GY-HD251 to another video com- ponent equipped with HDV/DV connector (IEEE1394 stan- dard) using a IEEE1394 cable (optional) enables dubbing of digital signals with high picture quality and high-quality sound.

5.Set the PB TAPE item on the VIDEO FORMAT menu screen. X See page 79.

Select whether to automatically detect the playback tape video format or play back only a particular format. Normally, use the “AUTO” setting.

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.Insert a videocassette tape.

Recording unit

: Videocassette you want to dub

7.Press the PLAY/STILL button on GY-HD250/GY-HD251 to start playback.

8.Start recording on the recording device.

See the recording device user manual for more informa- tion.

9.When dubbing is finished, stop recording on the record- ing device, press the STOP button on this device, and stop the playback.

MEMO

Switch the IEEE1394 switch when this device is OFF.

When you dub still images, they are low resolution images. Noise may also enter the audio.

Operations may differ depending on the features and specifications of the connected device, and operations or data exchange may not be possible even if the devices are connected.

If noise appears on the screen or the audio cuts out, re- connect the IEEE1394 cable or turn the GY-HD250/GY- HD251 on again.

If you turn the power to the device connected to the IEEE1394 connector on and off or switch the video input, noise may occur in the audio. If you perform this type of operation, set the speaker volume as low as possible on the audio device connected to this device.

Recording may not be possible in some cases even if the recorder is equipped with a IEEE1394 connector.

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.
