Use in a Nonlinear Editing System (AV/C Connection)

With this unit connected to a nonlinear editing system by

HDV/DV connectors, you can input and output signals in HDV or DVCAM/DV format, and use remote control of this unit.

The following figure shows an example of the connections.

Note

The i.LINK output from this unit is automatically switched between DV/DVCAM format and HDV format, according to the input selection and the format recorded on the tape. Since the i.LINK stream is different for HDV or DV/ DVCAM, switching causes a bus reset on the i.LINK interface, which may cause a problem with some connected nonlinear editors.

In such cases, set OPERATIONAL FUNCTION >INTERFACE SELECT: i.LINK FORMAT to i.LINK INPUT, and select the i.LINK input format to match that to be used.

To connect for DVCAM/DV format

To transfer video and audio signals recorded in DVCAM/ DV format or HDV format to a nonlinear editing system in DVCAM/DV format, make the following settings.

Here the data recorded in HDV format is output down- converted to DVCAM/DV format.
