Recording

This section describes the necessary settings and operations to perform recording on this unit. The same settings and operations apply whether you are using the unit as part of an editing system, for dubbing, or as a stand-alone recorder.

For the necessary connections for recording and the settings not covered in this section, see Chapter 5 “Connections and Settings.”

For dubbing of SDTI (QSDI) format signals, use the AUTO FUNCTION menu item SDTI DUBBING (see page 79). For details, see “Digitally Dubbing Signals in DVCAM/DV Format” on page 59.

For this unit, recording in DVCAM format is recommended, but recording in

DV (SP mode only) format is also possible.

Notes

•When carrying out multiscene continuous recording on a DV (SP) tape using this unit with an optional remote control unit such as the DSRM-10, on rare occasions, the video may be disrupted at the IN point of the first scene or the audio may be muted due to a REC MODE (audio recording mode) difference between the tape and this unit.

There may also be cases in which the unit is subjected to some functional restrictions attributable to the use of the DV format.

•When using the unit as an editor, the optional boards corresponding to the input signal formats to be used are required.

For details about the optional boards, see “Optional Accessories” (page 11).
