Nonlinear Editing You can transfer an HDV stream to a nonlinear editing system connected via the i.LINK(HDV/ DV) connector. Notes • The i.LINK(HDV/DV) connector of this camcorder is a 4-pin connector. Check the number of pins of the i.LINK connector on your computer and use an appropriate i.LINK cable. • In searching pictures of this camcorder on the computer, it may take some time until the display is reflected on the computer. • If the playback clip is short or the playback starting point is near the end of the clip, the i.LINK signal may be interrupted between the clip and the next clip. When you try to capture such a signal using the nonlinear editing system, a malfunction may occur, depending on the nonlinear editing software in use. • If you specify a search speed other than 4, 15, or 24 times normal with the nonlinear editing system, no i.LINK signal is fed out. In such a case, the picture on the LCD monitor may stay frozen. • High-speed playback picture may not be displayed on the computer screen, depending on the nonlinear editing software in use. Setting on this camcorder Set "SDI/HDMI/i.LINK I/O Select" (page 108) of the VIDEO SET menu to a setting that includes "HDV" or "DVCAM." For operations of the nonlinear editing software, refer to the operation manual of the software. Recording External Input Signals The HDV stream input from a device connected via the i.LINK (HDV/DV) connector can be recorded on an SxS memory card in this camcorder. The timecodes superimposed on the i.LINK input are recorded regardless of the settings of the camcorder. Note DVCAM streams cannot be recorded. 1 Set the external signal to a format that can be recorded on the camcorder. Signals of 1440 × 1080/59.94i can be recorded when the video format (page 37) is set to SP 1440/59.94i or SP 1440/23.98P. Signals of 1440 × 1080/50i can be recorded when set to SP 1440/50i. Recording is not allowed with other combinations of the video format and input signals. 2 Select a setting that enables HDV stream input/output for "SDI/HDMI/ i.LINK I/O Select" (page 108) of the VIDEO SET menu. 3 Set "Input Source Select" (page 108) of the VIDEO SET menu to "i.LINK."
