(page 25, 31,

format during tape playback or limit the signals to be input or output from the

HDV/DV

 

32, 35, 38, 39) jack. This setting will affect the LCD monitor output and analog output.

 

 

 

 

AUTO

: Automatically switches signals to HDV format or DVCAM/DV format during tape

 

 

 

playback. When the i.LINK cable is connected, the signals in the HDV format or

 

 

 

DVCAM/DV format is switched automatically and signals from the HDV/DV jack are

 

 

 

input or output for recording/playback.

 

 

 

 

HDV : Outputs signals of portions recorded in HDV format during tape playback. When

 

 

 

the i.LINK cable is connected, only the signals in the HDV format from the

HDV/DV

 

 

 

jack are input or output for recording/playback. Also select this setting when the unit is

 

 

 

connected to the i.LINK cable to a personal computer that supports the HDV format (see

 

 

 

page 25, 32).

 

 

 

 

DV : Outputs signals of portions recorded in DVCAM/DV format during tape playback.

 

 

 

When the i.LINK cable is connected, only the signals in the DVCAM/DV format from the

the unit is connected to the i.LINK cable to a personal computer that supports the DV

 

 

 

format (see page 31, 32, 39).

 

Notes

Before changing the setting, be sure to disconnect the i.LINK cable. If an i.LINK cable is connected when you change the setting, the video equipment may not be able to recognize the signal correctly.

If you select [AUTO], the screen turns off temporarily when HDV signals are switched to DVCAM/DV. The video and audio also stops.

If [HDVtDV CONV] is set to [ON] and [AUDIO LOCK] of [i.LINK CONV] is set to [LOCK MODE], the following signals are output.

When you set to [AUTO], an HDV signal is converted to an audio-locked DV signal; a DV signal is output as it is.

When you set to [HDV], an HDV signal is converted to an audio-locked DV signal; a DV signal is not output.

When you set to [DV], a DV signal is output as it is; an HDV signal is not output.

If [HDVtDV CONV] is set to [ON] and [AUDIO LOCK] of [i.LINK CONV] is set to [UNLOCK MODE], the following signals are output.

When you set to [AUTO], an HDV signal is converted to an audio-unlocked DV signal; a DV signal is output as it is.

When you set to [HDV], an HDV signal is converted to an audio-unlocked DV signal; a DV signal is not output.
