Recording Formats and Input/Output Signals
Chapter 2
Preparations
1) With the HVBK-1505 Analog Input Board (option) installed
2) It is not possible to input an HD component signal.
3) An SDTI signal is not supported.
4) It is not possible to input a DVCPRO signal.
5) It is not possible to input signals in other formats than HDV 1080/50i and
1080/60i.
6) The HD signal is output as a down-converted signal.
7) Output when audio input signal is in 4-channel mode and when 4
CHANNEL (32 kHz) is selected with the AUDIO CONTROL >REC
MODE menu item.
8) The HD-SDI signal formats that can be input are 1080/59.94i and 1080/
50i. Note that 1035/59.94i and 1080/29.97PsF signals are handled as 1080/
59.94i, and 1080/25PsF signals are handled as 1080/50i.
9) It is not possible to downconvert HD-SDI input signal and output it as
i.LINK compatible DV/DVCAM signals.
10) It is not possible to record upconverted signals in HDV format, or to
output them as i.LINK compatible HDV signals.
11) When the HVBK-1520 Format Converter Board (option) is installed in
the unit, the i.LINK (DV/DVCAM) cannot be upconverted.
12)Only 2-channel audio is supported.
•
When a video signal is input to the
HDV/DV
connector of this unit, the jitter of the i.LINK
transmission signal is output unchanged from the
VIDEO OUT connectors. So, the display on a connected
video monitor may be unstable. Note this when
recording on another VCR connected to VIDEO OUT
connectors. There is no problem with the image when
recording to tape on this unit.
•
When an i.LINK cable is connected, it is not possible to
output video only or audio only.
Input signals and recording formats
This unit can record in HDV format (1080/60i, 1080/50i),
DVCAM format, and DV format (SP mode).
This unit supports 2-channel mode for recording of audio
signals in HDV format, and 2-channel and 4-channel mode
for recording of audio signals in DVCAM/DV format.
When the optional HVBK-1505 board is installed, it is
possible to input analog video and audio signals.
The relationship between input signals and recording
format when recording is as follows.
YES: Recording possible, NO: Recording not possible, ( ): number of audio recording channels
1) With the HVBK-1505 Analog Input Board (option) installed
2) It is not possible to input an HD component signal.
3) An SDTI signal is not supported.
4) It is not possible to input a DVCPRO signal.
5) It is not possible to input signals in other formats than HDV 1080/50i and
1080/60i.
6) HDV recording on this unit is HDV1080 50i/60i (audio: 2-channel mode).
MPEG-2 signals other than signals in HDV1080i format cannot be
recorded. This unit does not support input and output, recording, or tape
playback of HDV extended format of 4-channel audio signals.
7) When HD-SDI video input is selected.
8) The HD-SDI signal formats that can be input are 1080/59.94i and 1080/
50i. Note that 1035/59.94i and 1080/29.97PsF signals are handled as 1080/
59.94i, and 1080/25PsF signals are handled as 1080/50i.
9) This unit cannot record HDV signals other than signals in 1080i format.
HDV extended format 4-channel audio signals can be input and output
unchanged. However, signals on channels 3 and 4 cannot be monitored on
this unit or cannot be input and output via other connectors.
•
Several seconds may be required for HDV format
recording to start. There is a still picture of
approximately 1 second at transitions between scenes.
•
DV (LP)/DVCPRO format cannot be recorded.
•
This unit does not support 16 bits: 44.1 kHz or 16 bits:
32 kHz recording in DVCAM/DV mode.
•
When a tape is dubbed from DV format to DVCAM
format, format differences may cause functional
restrictions on playback and editing depending on the
recorded content on the tape.
