Appendix Appendix Compatibility of DVCAM and DV Format The DVCAM format was developed as a more reliable and higher end format than the consumer DV format. Here we explain the DVCAM and DV formats: the differences, compatibility and limitations on editing. Differences between DVCAM and DV format Item Track pitch Audio sampling frequency Audio recording mode 1) Time code system DVCAM 15 µm 12 bit: 32 kHz 16 bit: 48 kHz Lock mode DV 10 µm 12 bit: 32 kHz 16 bit: 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz 2) Unlock mode NTSC; SMPTE time code (DF/NDF/including user bits)3) PAL; EBU time code (including user bits)3) Drop frame mode (NTSC) without user bits 1) There are two modes for audio recording; Lock mode and Unlock mode. In Lock mode, the sampling frequencies of audio and video are synchronized. In Unlock mode, which the consumer DV format adopts, the two sampling frequencies are independent. The lock mode maintains high compatibility with the higher formats and is more effective than unlock mode in digital processing and smooth transition during audio editing. 2) This unit cannot record in DV format with 16 bit - 32 kHz or 44.1 kHz. 3) The user bits cannot be set on this unit. 55 Appendix (GB)
