Editing for Settings and Connections 5 Chapter

Depending on the editing software used, this unit may not operate correctly. Before use, be sure to check that this unit is recommended as supported by the software.

•The HDV/DV connector on this unit is 6-pin. Check the number of pins of the i.LINK (DV) connector of the connected computer and use an appropriate i.LINK cable.

To connect for HDV format

Notes

•The nonlinear editing system requires editing software (not supplied) to support the HDV format.

•The HDV/DV connector on this unit is 6-pin. Check the number of pins of the i.LINK (DV) connector of the connected computer, and use an appropriate i.LINK cable.

•To switch between HDV format and DVCAM/DV format, it may be necessary to temporarily disconnect the i.LINK cable.

•When connecting an i.LINK cable to a computer or this unit, check the orientation of the connector. Forcing the plug into the connector the wrong way may damage the connector.

•The HDV/DV connector supports HDV (1080i)/ DVCAM/DV signals.

•When using an i.LINK cable connection between this unit and a device having a 6-pin i.LINK connector, do not connect or disconnect the i.LINK cable before powering off the device and disconnecting the power cord from the AC supply. If you connect the i.LINK cable while the power cord of the device is still connected, a high voltage (8 to 40 V) may flow from the i.LINK connector into this unit, possibly damaging this unit.

•When converting a tape recorded in HDV format to DVCAM format for output, the following restrictions apply.

-The absolute address on the tape (ATN: Absolute Track Number) is always output as zero.

-During normal speed playback, if there are unrecorded sections, the tape transport operates with these sections estimated as absolute addresses converted to

DVCAM.

-The absolute address on a tape recorded with a format conversion from HDV to DVCAM and that on the original tape recorded in HDV do not match. (Timecode values are copied correctly.)

•With this unit it is not possible to output video recorded in DVCAM(DV) format up-converted to HDV.

When making connections, consult the operating instructions for the device to be connected and the nonlinear editing system.

Using in a Cut Editing System

The following figure shows an example of the connections for a DVCAM format cut editing system with this unit as the player, and a DSR-2000A/2000AP as the recorder.

You can carry out cut editing, controlling this unit from the DSR-2000A/2000AP.
