Editing (Connecting with a Computer)
You can set up an editing system by connecting the
unit to a computer (editing machine) using
HDV/DV
jack on the unit.
• For details about the connecting method to the editing
machine, refer to the supplied instruction manual of
your editing unit.
• The editing functions you can use depend on the
editing software. For details about editing methods,
refer to the instruction manual of your editing
software.
Connecting the Unit to a
Computer
Notes
•Be sure to connect the i.LINK cable to a computer
(editing machine) first and then connect it to the unit.
If you connect the i.LINK cable to the unit first, it
may cause the unit to malfunction because of static
electricity.
• If no picture appears via
HDV/DV jack, disconnect
the i.LINK cable, then reinsert it straight.
• If the unit is connected to a device equipped with a
6-pin i.LINK jack, when you intend to disconnect or
reconnect the i.LINK cable, turn off the device and
pull out the plug of its power cord from the wall
outlet beforehand. If you connect or disconnect the
i.LINK cable while the device is connected to the AC
outlet, high-voltage current (8 to 40 V) is output from
i.LINK jack of the device to the unit, which may
cause a malfunction.
•Before connecting the i.LINK cable, set
[HDV/DV SEL] and [i.LINK SET] in
[IN/OUT REC] menu. If you perform the settings
after connecting the cable, the computer (editing
machine) may not recognize the unit correctly or may
freeze.
• If you input or output signals in a format
incompatible with the computer (editing machine),
the computer may not recognize the unit correctly or
may freeze.
•When set to EE mode, the unit outputs analog signals
those are input from
HDV/DV jack to a computer. S
Video or VIDEO signals are output from
HDV/DV
jack, according to the setting of INPUT SELECT
switch. To output the playback image from the unit
through
HDV/DV jack only, set INPUT SELECT
switch to HDV/DV.
