Notes

 

 

 

 

• When [DVCAM] is selected, there are some limitations, as 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 those described above, ATN outputs the

 

 

value of a tape recorded in HDV format.

 

 

– When the unit is playing back at regular speed (×1) and detects a blank portion on the

 

 

tape, the unit counts the blank portion as ATN-formatted in DVCAM.

 

 

– When using a 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 the [IN/

 

 

OUT REC] menu, the video signal output from the COMPONENT OUT jacks, S VIDEO

 

 

OUT 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.

 

 

• When you select [EDGE CROP], the outputs of S VIDEO and VIDEO are limited.

 

 

For details, see page 88.
