Set OPERATION >Input/Output >Output

& i.LINK in the setup menu

(see page 98)

to “HD & HDV” or “SD & HDV”.

HD & HDV or SD & HDV:

To output an

HDV stream in HD mode when the

video format is set to an HDV

compatible format (SP 1440/59.94i,

SP 1440/50i, or SP 1440/23.94P)

SD & DV:

To output a DV stream

•

Set OPERATION >Input/Output >i.LINK

I/O in the setup menu to [Enable].

•

Set MAINTENANCE >Trigger Mode

>i.LINK Trigger Mode in the setup menu

(see page 126)

to [Both] or [External].

Both:

To perform recording both on the

memory card in this camcorder and on

the external device

External:

To perform recording only on

the external device

2

Set the external device to recording

standby status.

For operations of the external device, refer to

the operation manual of that device.

3

Start recording.

The external device starts recording in

synchronization.

The status of the external device is displayed in

the i.LINK status indication area

(see page 31)

on

the viewfinder screen.

Notes

•

Operation may be different depending on the type of

external device.

•

There is some time lag from which you start recording

until the i.LINK status indication changes. Even if

MAINTENANCE >Trigger Mode >i.LINK Trigger

Mode is set to [Both], the connected i.LINK device

does not start recording until it is in synchronization

with this camcorder.

•

While you can record shot marks on the memory card

during recording, they are not added to the pictures

recorded on the external device.

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 6-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 OPERATION >Input/Output >i.LINK I/O in

the setup menu to [Enable].

For operations of the nonlinear editing software,

refer to the operation manual of the software.

The HDV stream input from a device connected

via the i.LINK (HDV/DV) connector can be

recorded on an S×S memory card in this

camcorder.

The timecodes superimposed on the i.LINK input

are recorded regardless of the settings of the

camcorder.

Note

DV stream cannot be recorded.

1

Set the external signal to a format that

can be recorded on the camcorder.

Select an HDV compatible format (SP 1440/

59.94i, SP 1440/50i, or SP 1440/23.94P) for

the video format.
