This unit can record in HDV format (1080/60i, 1080/50i),

When the HVBK-1505 option board is installed, the

3)An SDTI signal is not supported.

4)It is not possible to input a DV(LP)/DVCPRO signal.

5)It is not possible to input an HDV format signal other than 1080 50i/60i (audio: 2-channel mode).

6)HDV recording can only record HDV 1080 50i/60i (audio: 2-channel

mode) input to the HDV/DV connector. It is not possible to record MPEG-2 signals other than in HDV 1080i format. This unit also does not support HDV extended format four-channel audio signal input/output, recording, or tape playback.

recording in DVCAM format on a DVCAM cassette, the recording capacity is the same as the recording time shown on the cassette.

Notes

•DV(LP)/DVCPRO format cannot be recorded.

•When the recording mode is HDV, there may be a delay of several seconds before recording starts.

•When recording an HDV format signal input to the

HDV/DV connector, joins appear as approximately one second of still image.

•This unit does not support 44.1 kHz recording in DVCAM/DV mode.

•When a tape is dubbed from DV format to DVCAM format, format differences may cause functional restrictions on playback and editing depending on the recorded content on the tape.

•A tape recorded in HDV format on this unit cannot be played on a device that does not support the HDV 1080i format. Before playing on another device, it is recommended to check the recording on the tape by playing on this unit.

•When an HDV signal down-converted to a DVCAM signal is recorded on an HDV/DV cassette in DVCAM format, the recording capacity is approximately two- thirds of the recording time shown on the cassette. When
