There are some limitations to down converting a tape recorded in HDV format to DVCAM format.

For details, see “i.LINK SET” in the “IN/OUT REC” menu on page 72.

Notes

If you output pictures in the playback pause mode when using an i.LINK connection, recorded images may appear distorted.

When the tape is recorded in HDV format, the picture

is output as a simplified picture during playback at various speeds (page 40).

When using an i.LINK connection, you cannot output only pictures or sounds separately.

When you duplicate down converted signals from HDV to DVCAM on an HDV/DV cassette in DVCAM format, the available recording time is reduced to about 2/3 of the recording time indicated on the tape. However, when a DVCAM cassette is recorded using DVCAM format, the available recording time is the same as the recording time indicated on the DVCAM cassette.

When progressive HDV signals are played back and down converted into DVCAM (or DV) format to output to i.LINK connection, the signals are converted to interlace system. 1080/24p and 1080/30p are converted to 480i, and 1080/25p to 576i, respectively.
