Recording and Playback 3 Chapter Chapter 3 Recording and Playback Recording This section describes the necessary settings and operations to perform recording on this unit. For details of connections and settings when using this unit as part of an editing system, see Chapter 5, "Connections and Settings for Editing" (page 57). For details of use for dubbing through the i.LINK interface, see Chapter 6, "Using the i.LINK Connector for Dubbing and TC Insert" (page 66). For this unit, recording in HDV or DVCAM format is recommended, but recording in DV (SP mode only) format is also possible. Notes • When carrying out multiscene continuous recording on a DV (SP) tape using this unit with an optional remote control unit such as the DSRM-10, on rare occasions, the video may be disrupted at the IN point of the first scene or the audio may be suppressed due to a REC MODE (audio recording mode) difference between the tape and this unit. There may also be cases in which the unit is subjected to some functional restrictions attributable to the use of the DV format. • For HDV recording, continuous recording of multiple scenes and assemble/insert editing are not possible on this unit. • To record an analog input signal, the option board HVBK-1505 (option) (page 10) is necessary. • This unit supports the 1080/60i and 1080/50i HDV formats, but does not support progressive HDV formats. HDV audio signals are 2-channel. • In recording of i.LINK (HDV) input, 1080/60i or 1080/ 50i format 4-channel mode audio is recorded without change. • There is momentary breakup in i.LINK (HDV) output at the start of HDV recording. For details of the relation between input signals and recording format, see "Input signals and recording formats" (page 37).
