General Setup
Before using your DN-60, there are a few basic operational conditions
that must be set. These are found under the System Setup Level of the
menu tree (see table 4).
Set the signal type
Select HDV or DV. If DV, select between NTSC or PAL.
Note:
Changing between signal types will erase the content in all bins.
Choose operating system file system, FAT32 or NTFS
This option will set up the file system type seen by the computer in the
CF card. NTFS does not have the 2GB file size limitation imposed by the
FAT32 file system. With NTFS a recorded clip becomes one file no
matter its length. Although this choice can be done at any time before
the making media file process it is best to simply make it once.
Set the CF Card volume ID
When connecting as a CF card created by DN-60, the volume name is
DATAVIDEO xx
. If your application calls for multiple CF card to be
connected to the computer at the same time, it becomes helpful to have
the volume name be different for each CF card. This option allows
xx
to
be set between 00 and 99.
Select which time code to display
With DV, while recording or playing, the time code displayed can be
either the externally generated time code or the internally generated one.
If the signal is analog and no time code is connected then the External is
generated the DN-60 and is in the dropped-frame format. The internal
time code referred to here is the absolute frame number of the recording
in the selected bin and is in the non-dropped-frame format. The absolute
frame number starts at 00:00:00:00 in each bin. When the content is
changed to files, the time code presented to the NLE starts with the
External value of the first frame of the content; if this value is invalid then
00:00:00:00 is substituted.
