Notes

 

 

 

• When you play back an HDV-formatted tape with copyright protected signals, or input

 

 

HDV format with copyright protected signals, COMPONENT OUT jacks will output

 

 

pictures in either 480i or 576i format.

 

 

• Regardless of the playback tape or of the format input to

HDV/DV jacks, the selectable

 

 

setting values displayed on this menu vary depending on the setting of [60i/50i SEL].

 

• WSS (Wide Screen Signaling) is not output, when the picture is output to COMPONENT

 

 

OUT jacks in 480p or 576p. Set the monitor according to the down convert format of the

 

 

picture, which is output from the unit.

 

 

• When you play back a tape in DVCAM or DV while an EE picture in NTSC/PAL is

 

 

displayed, the 480i resolution or the 576i resolution is output, regardless of the setting of

 

 

[COMPONENT] in [VIDEO OUT] in [IN/OUT REC] menu.

images on display. Images appear vertically long.

EDGE CROP : Plays back with both left and right sides of the screen images cut off and maintains the original image appearance.

Notes

When [DVCAM] is selected, there are some limitations described below.

ATN (Absolute Track Number) outputs the value counted in DVCAM format during playback at regular speed (1) or recording of the internal color bars only. During playback at irregular speeds other than described above, ATN outputs the value of a tape recorded in HDV format.

When the unit is playing back at regular speed (1) while detecting a blank portion on the tape, the unit counts the blank portion as ATN formatted in DVCAM.

When using the duplicating function that is equipped with a device such as the DSR-25/ 45/50, select [DVCAM].

Please note that a duplicated tape and the source tape recorded in HDV format with [DVCAM] selected do not share the same ATN (Time code value is displayed correctly).

When you change the video format setting of [DOWN CONVERT] of [i.LINK SET] in [IN/ OUT REC] menu, the video signal output from COMPONENT OUT jacks, S VIDEO jack, or VIDEO OUT jack may be distorted for a moment.

Before changing your setting, be sure to disconnect the i.LINK cable. If you change the setting while i.LINK is connected, the video device may not recognize the new setting.
