Connection Using i.LINK

Using this unit in a nonlinear editing

system (AV/C connection)

With this unit connected to a nonlinear editing system by

HDV/DV connectors, you can input and output signals in

HDV or DVCAM/DV format, and use remote control of

this unit.

The following figure shows an example of the

connections.

The i.LINK output from this unit is automatically switched

between DV/DVCAM format and HDV format, according

to the input selection and the format recorded on the tape.

Since the i.LINK stream is different for HDV or DV/

DVCAM, switching causes a bus reset on the i.LINK

interface, which may cause a problem with some

connected nonlinear editors.

In such cases, set the INTERFACE SELECT >i.LINK

FORMAT menu item to i.LINK INPUT, and select the

i.LINK input matching the format to be used.

To connect for DVCAM/DV format

To transfer video and audio signals recorded in DVCAM/

DV format or HDV format to a nonlinear editing system in

DVCAM/DV format, make the following settings.

Here the data recorded in HDV format is output

downconverted to DVCAM/DV format.

•

The nonlinear editing system requires editing software

to support the DV or DVCAM format (not supplied).

Depending on the editing software used, this unit may
