Transferring Video Recordings

You can transfer recordings to a computer

using the HDV/DV terminal.

Equipment and System Requirements

°

A computer equipped with an

IEEE1394 (DV) terminal or an IEEE1394

(DV) capture board

°

A DV cable (commercially available)

°

The appropriate driver

The standard of the video transferred

depends on the standard of the original

recording and the compatibility of the

video editing software.

When transferring a video originally

recorded in HDV standard, if the editing

software supports high-definition video,

video output will be in HD standard. If the

editing software does not support

high-definition video, even if the original

recording was made in HDV standard,

video output will be in SD standard.

before making the connections. Refer to the

corresponding explanation of each setting in the

PLAY/OUT SETUP

select the standard of the output video. Note

that the video standard of the transferred video

depends also on the standards supported by

the computer.

turn off the camcorder and the computer. After a

short while, turn them on again, set the
