Recording
This section describes the connections, settings and
operations necessary to perform recording on this unit.
The same settings and operations apply whether you
are using the unit for dubbing or as a stand-alone
recorder.
Connections for Recording
To digital video equipment with a DV jack
The video and audio signals are sent with hardly any
degradation, enabling high-quality recording. The
signal flow is automatically detected so you do not
need to make separate connections for input and
output. Also, connecting the unit to an editing
controller via DV jacks, you can configure a digital
non-linear editing system.
For connections of the editing controller and this unit, refer
to the editing controller instruction manual.
Notes
•With the DV connection, the sound is recorded in the
same audio recording mode as that of the source tape.
To record in a different audio recording mode from
the source tape, use the analog connection instead.
•With the DV connection, data codes (recording date/
time, camera data) recorded on the source tape are
transmitted to the recorder (this unit). As a result,
when you play back a recorded tape on this unit and
press the DATA CODE button on the Remote
Commander, the same data codes as those recorded
on the source tape are displayed on the monitor
screen. However, the contents of the cassette memory
are not transmitted. If you want to transmit the
contents of the cassette memory, use the duplicate
function.
If no picture appears via the DV jack, disconnect the
i.LINK cable (DV cable), then reinsert it straight.
If the editing software used has the capability to
output the time code as well as the video and audio
signals from the digital non-linear editing controller
to this unit, and you intend to record that time code,
set DV IN TC on the TC/UB SET menu of this unit
to EXTERNAL.
For details on the TC/UB SET menu, see “TC/UB SET
menu” on page 56 (GB).
•When DV IN TC on the TC/UB SET menu is set to
EXTERNAL, if you input time code that is not
continuous or does not advance correctly to the DV
jack, the value of the recorded or displayed time code
may not be equal to the actual value of the input one.
If you use a tape recorded in such condition, you may
not be able to perform search or edit, depending on
the devices you use.
For connection of the editing controller and its
peripheral devices, refer to the instruction manual of
the editing controller and that of the editing software
you use.
Edit functions are specified by the editing software.
For details on the editing methods used, refer to the
instruction manual of the editing software.
•When connecting a device that has a 6-pin DV jack to
this unit, first, connect the plug of the cable to the 6-
pin DV jack.
