Backup Recording of the GY-HD250/GY-

HD251’s Camera Image and Sound

Through the IEEE1394 Connector

The GY-HD250/GY-HD251’s camera image and sound can be recorded for backup on another component that is equipped with IEEE1394 connector.

Connections

Use the GY-HD250/GY-HD251 as the master unit.

Connect the master unit and the backup unit with a IEEE1394 cable.

„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 the GY-HD250/GY-HD251 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, the GY-HD250/GY-HD251’s 1394 REC TRIG. item

Settings

„Master unit (GY-HD250/GY-HD251)

1.Set the IEEE1394 switch on left side of the GY-HD250/ GY-HD251.

DV : When backup in DV format

HDV : When backup in HDV format

2.Place in Camera mode.

3.Set the 1394 REC TRIG. item on the OTHERS[2/2] menu screen. X See page 97.

For HDV mode, set the BACK SPACE [HDV] item. X See page 97.

OTHERS[2/2] menu screen

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

GY-HD250/GY-HD251 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).
