Compatibility of HDV, DVCAM, and DV Formats

Dubbing with S VIDEO or VIDEO jacks

When you use the unit as a recorder to perform dubbing between the unit and another equipment connected, the format to be used for recording is set in accordance with [ REC MODE] setting of [IN/OUT REC] menu. For details, see the following table.

Playback and editing of a tape may be restricted for some dubbing methods. Read Chapter 3 “Dubbing/Editing” before dubbing a tape.

Some editing software can correctly edit even a tape created in [LOCK MODE]. In that case, select [LOCK MODE] if required.
