3-1-3 Connecting to a Nonlinear
Editing System
You can send video/audio signals (AV/C data) from this
unit to a nonlinear editing system connected to the S400
(i.LINK) connector.
The following figure shows an example connection.
Notes
• The S400 (i.LINK) connector of this unit outputs
video/audio signals in DVCAM format. Data recorded in
MPEG IMX format is output after being converted into
DVCAM format.
• The nonlinear editing system to be used being connected
to this unit requires editing software (not supplied)
supporting DVCAM format.
• Make the following settings before transferring video/
audio signals (AV/C data) from this unit to a nonlinear
editing system.
Audio mode selection
Use extended menu item 831 “DV OUT AUDIO
MODE” to select either of the following.
4ch: 12 bit/32 kHz/4ch
2ch: 16 bit/48 kHz/2ch (Factory default setting)
Audio output channel selection
Select the audio output channels with extended menu
item 828 “SDI/DV AUDIO OUTPUT SELECT.”
For information about how to make extended menu item
settings, see 7-3-2 “Extended Menu Operations” on
page 108.
For the method of transferring video/audio signals (AV/C
data) to a nonlinear editing system, refer to the manual
provided with the editing software to be used.

Parallel With a Camcorder
You can start and stop recording on this unit at the same
time that recording starts and stops on a camcorder. This
