This function lets you make high picture quality and high sound quality recordings by connecting with a digital camcorder using the DV IN/OUT terminal (i.LINK). You can record material from this recorder with a digital camcorder, or record material from a digital camcorder with this recorder.

In addition, you can also record while controlling the digital camcorder with the remote control of this recorder (DV uptake).

*i.LINK is a function that lets you control other equipment by input and output of video, audio, data and control signals between equipment having an i.LINK jack.

*i.Link refers to the IEEE1394-1995 industry specification

and extensions thereof. The logo is used for products compliant with the i.Link standard.

DV IN/OUT Terminal

■About the Connected Equipment

When this recorder is connected with a DV-format camcorder using a DV cable, you can record and edit with minimal deterioration of picture and sound quality using a digital signal.

NOTE

•The DV IN/OUT terminal of this recorder only enables input and output of DV-format camcorders (DVC-SD signals). It is not compatible with satellite receivers or Digital VHS video recorders since they employ a different format.

•When this recorder is connected with a camcorder equipped with a DV terminal, the signal may not be input to this recorder depending on the camcorder. When this happens, use an analog connection (page 98).

•The DV IN/OUT terminal is not compatible with connec- tion to a PC.

•This recorder cannot be controlled from other equipment by using the DV IN/OUT terminal.

•Only one camcorder can be connected to this recorder using the DV IN/OUT terminal.

•Connect this recorder and the camcorder directly. The DV signal will not be input if the camcorder is connected to this recorder through other equipment equipped with a DV IN/OUT terminal.

•When two of these recorders are connected using the DV IN/OUT jack, one cannot be used to control the other.

•Signals may not be able to be output or control may not be possible from this recorder in the case of some digital camcorders (page 96).

ÆVideo and audio signals of protected material or “copy-once” material cannot be recorded.

ÆMonaural audio cannot be input through the DV IN/ OUT terminal.■Audio Mode

Digital camcorders typically have the following two audio modes.

Æ16-bit (48 kHz)

Although this yields high sound quality, only one stereo audio signal can be processed.

Æ12-bit (32 kHz)

Two stereo signals can be processed. In general, overdubbed audio is recorded in Stereo 2.

ÆThis recorder allows listening or recording of either Stereo 1 or Stereo 2 audio if the input audio is in the 12-bit audio mode.

ÆOnly the 16-bit audio mode is output from this recorder.ÆThis recorder is unable to process 44.1 kHz input audio signals.
