Dubbing to Other Equipment Using the i.LINK Jack
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.
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.
