3-4 Recording Video

Signals From

External Equipment

With this camcorder, you can select in the OPERATION menu whether to record the video captured by the camera, or whether to record a signal from an external video device.

If this switching function is assigned to the ASSIGN 2 switch, regardless of the setting in the OPERATION menu, you can make the selection with the ASSIGN 2 switch. While you are recording a DV stream from an external DV device, the indication “EXT-DV” appears on the viewfinder screen. While you are recording analog composite signals (with the CBK-SC01 installed), the indication “EXT IV” appears on the viewfinder screen.

Notes

•You can switch the signals to be recorded using the ASSIGN 2 switch or by a menu operation at any time while recording on the disc. However, the signals recorded at the point where the signal is switched may be distorted. If the camera/external switching function is assigned to the ASSIGN 2 switch, you cannot use the following menu operations to switch between camera and external source input.

•Even when the REC VIDEO SOURCE item is set to “EXT”, if the external video signal is not input to the i.LINK DV IN/OUT S400 connector or the GENLOCK IN connector, the camcorder does not switch to EXT mode, and the pictures being shot by the camcorder are recorded on the disc.

•If i.LINK MODE is set to “FAM” on the OUTPUT page (page 180) or SOURCE SEL page (page 186) of the OPERATION menu, it is not possible to record DV streams. To record DV streams, set i.LINK MODE to “AV/C”.
