By connecting a VTR with an i.LINK connector to the (i.LINK) DV OUT connector of the camcorder using an i.LINK cable (DV cable), you can control playback and recording of the camcorder and perform cut editing and digital copy.

Example of connection

Note

To use the automatic copying function of DSR-2000A, it is necessary to set the recording format of the camcorder to DVCAM on the VTR MODE page of the MAINTENANCE menu.

For details on the external VTR, see the instruction manual supplied with the external VTR.

To control the camcorder from a non-linear editing system

Using the i.LINK cable (DV cable), you can transfer video and audio signals to a non-linear editing system from the camcorder. Editing software that supports the selected recording format (DVCAM or DV) must be used.
