Dubbing to Other Equipment Using the i.LINK Jack

This section describes the connections and settings necessary to perform dubbing on other equipment, using the unit as a video player.

Connections for Dubbing

Connect the unit to the recorder as shown on the right using an i.LINK cable.

The signal flow is automatically detected so you do not need to make separate connections for input and output. Also, by connecting the unit to an editing controller via the HDV/DV jack, you can configure a digital nonlinear editing system.

For connections of the editing controller and the unit, refer to the editing controller instruction manual.

Before dubbing, you must set the format in which you want to output signals. Make [HDV/DV SEL] (page 70) and [i.LINK SET] (page 72) settings in the [IN/OUT

REC] menu.

For details, refer to “Major Differences among HDV1080i, DVCAM, and DV Formats” on page 31.

For details on i.LINK output formats, see page 97.

To dub a tape recorded in HDV format using the duplicate function on other units such as the DSR-25/ 45/50, select [DVCAM] in [HDV t DV CONV] of [i.LINK SET] in the [IN/OUT REC] menu.
