1) Can be used in 525/60, 625/50 format.
2) DVCPRO format Cue track playback, and playback in a format other than
25 Mbps are not possible.
3) An SDTI signal is not supported.
4) A signal format to output from the HDV/DV connector can be selected
with the INTERFACE SELECT >i.LINK OUTPUT menu item.
5) The signal is output down-converted from HD. (Select the down-
converted format in the DOWN CONVERTER EDGE CROP or
SQUEEZE menu item.)
6) Output in 720 60P format.
7) An audio signal is output only when the audio mode is in 4-channel mode.
8) Select either DVCAM or DV with the INTERFACE SELECT >i.LINK
OUTPUT menu item.
• This unit can play and record in HDV (1080/60i, 1080/
50i), DVCAM format, and DV format (SP mode).
However, for example when a tape is dubbed from DV
format to DVCAM format, depending on the recorded
content on the tape, format differences may cause
functional restrictions on playback and editing.
• When playing back a tape including mixed format
recording, at the boundaries between HDV, DVCAM or
DV format recording, or on the boundary between 60i
and 50i format, the playback at that position may have
scrambled video or audio.
• When playing back a tape including mixed HDV,
DVCAM format and DV format (SP mode) recording,
the following restrictions apply.
- Where the format changes, there may be broken-up
video and audio noise output.
- Until the tape transport has stabilized, the buttons in
the tape transport control section may temporarily not
operate.
• For a tape recorded in HDV, in the paused state no video
is output from the HDV/DV connector.
• For a tape recorded in HDV format, the audio cannot be
heard during variable speed playback.
• For HDV format, a simplified image appears during
variable speed playback.
• With this unit it is not possible to output video recorded
in DVCAM(DV) format up-converted to HDV.
• When converting a tape recorded in HDV format to
DVCAM format for output, the following restrictions
apply.
- The absolute address on the tape (ATN: Absolute
Track Number) is always output as zero.
- During normal speed playback, if there are unrecorded
sections, the tape transport operates with these
sections are estimated as absolute addresses converted
to DVCAM.
- The absolute address on a tape recorded with a format
conversion from HDV to DVCAM and that on the
original tape recorded in HDV do not match.
