Duplication (generating a work tape with the same time code)

If you copy a source tape using the DUP (duplicate) button on this unit, you can copy the time codes recorded on the source tape as they are. You can easily make a work tape having the same time codes as the source tape.

The duplicate function on this unit works only when using a source tape recorded in DVCAM format and with DV connections.

This unit functions as a recorder. To perform duplication on this unit, make sure to change REC MODE on the VTR SET menu to DVCAM first.

To set the duplicate mode

This unit has three duplicate modes.

Set DUPLICATE on the VTR SET menu to select a duplicate mode as follows.

AUTOq (AUTO TAPE COPY WITH CASSETTE MEMORY COPY): The player and the recorder automatically rewind the tape to the beginning to start duplicating. The cassette memory is also duplicated.

AUTOq (AUTO TAPE COPY): The player and the recorder automatically rewind the tape to the beginning to start duplicating. The cassette memory is not duplicated.

MANUALq (MANUAL TAPE COPY): The tape is duplicated from any location. The cassette memory is not duplicated.

Duplicating a tape

The duplicate procedure differs depending on the duplicate mode.

Notes

•If you operate the player while duplicating, the duplicate process may be interrupted and the tape may not be correctly duplicated. Do not operate the player while duplicating.

•You can duplicate a tape regardless of the DISPLAY SELECT selector setting, but the duplication screen will be displayed only when the DISPLAY SELECT selector has been set to DATA.

AUTOq or AUTOq duplicate mode

1 Connect this unit and the player using an i.LINK cable (DV cable, not supplied). After turning on the power of this unit and the player, set the INPUT SELECT selector on this unit to DV.
