Normally, set this menu to [AUTO]. Select this menu when you want to limit the output format
during tape playback or limit the signals to be input or output from the HDV/DV jack.
This setting will affect analog outputs.
BAUTO : Automatically switches signals to HDV format or DVCAM/DV format during
tape playback.
When an i.LINK cable is connected, signals in HDV format or DVCAM/DV
format will be switched automatically and signals from the HDV/DV jack
will be input/output for recording/playback.
HDV : Outputs portions of signals recorded in HDV format during tape playback.
When an i.LINK cable is connected, only signals in HDV format from the
HDV/DV jack will be input/output for recording/playback. Also, select this
setting when the unit is connected via an i.LINK cable to a computer
supporting HDV format (see pages 47, 57).
DV : Outputs signals of portions recorded in DVCAM/DV format during tape
playback. When an i.LINK cable is connected, only signals in DVCAM/DV
format from the HDV/DV jack are input or output for recording/playback.
Also select this setting when the unit is connected via an i.LINK cable to a
computer that supports DV format (see pages 47, 57).
• Before changing the setting, be sure to disconnect the i.LINK cable, or turn the other device
off. If an i.LINK cable is connected when you change the setting, the video equipment may
not recognize the signals correctly.
• If you select [AUTO], the screen turns off temporarily when HDV signals are switched to
DVCAM/DV signals or vice versa. The video and audio also stops at the same time.
• For details on the i.LINK output and the recording tape format, see pages 97 and 98.
