Recording

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

Connections for Recording

To digital video equipment with a DV jack

The video and audio signals are sent with hardly any degradation, enabling high-quality recording. The signal flow is automatically detected so you do not need to make separate connections for input and output. Also, connecting the unit to an editing controller via DV jacks, you can configure a digital non-linear editing system.

For connections of the editing controller and this unit, refer to the editing controller instruction manual.

Notes

•With the DV connection, the sound is recorded in the same audio recording mode as that of the source tape. To record in a different audio recording mode from the source tape, use the analog connection instead.

•With the DV connection, data codes (recording date/ time, camera data) recorded on the source tape are transmitted to the recorder (this unit). As a result, when you play back a recorded tape on this unit and press the DATA CODE button on the Remote Commander, the same data codes as those recorded on the source tape are displayed on the monitor screen. However, the contents of the cassette memory are not transmitted. If you want to transmit the contents of the cassette memory, use the duplicate function.

•If no picture appears via the DV jack, disconnect the i.LINK cable (DV cable), then reinsert it straight.

•If the editing software used has the capability to output the time code as well as the video and audio signals from the digital non-linear editing controller to this unit, and you intend to record that time code, set DV IN TC on the TC/UB SET menu of this unit to EXTERNAL.

For details on the TC/UB SET menu, see “TC/UB SET menu” on page 56 (GB).

•When DV IN TC on the TC/UB SET menu is set to EXTERNAL, if you input time code that is not continuous or does not advance correctly to the DV jack, the value of the recorded or displayed time code may not be equal to the actual value of the input one. If you use a tape recorded in such condition, you may not be able to perform search or edit, depending on the devices you use.

•For connection of the editing controller and its peripheral devices, refer to the instruction manual of the editing controller and that of the editing software you use.

•Edit functions are specified by the editing software. For details on the editing methods used, refer to the instruction manual of the editing software.

•When connecting a device that has a 6-pin DV jack to this unit, first, connect the plug of the cable to the 6- pin DV jack.
