To use Final Cut Pro of Apple Inc. It is necessary to convert the clips to files that can be edited with the Final Cut Pro, using XDCAM Transfer. For information on XDCAM Transfer or Log & Transfer, visit the web sites shown in "XDCAM EX web sites" on page 15 or on the cover page of the supplied CD-ROM. Notes on use of applications When using any of the following application programs, be sure to use the latest version that supports this camcorder. • XDCAM EX Clip Browsing Software • XDCAM Transfer (PDZK-P1) • Log & Transfer (PDZK-LT1) If you use the XDCAM EX Clip Browsing Software V2.5.1 or earlier to view clips, clips recorded in SD Mode become invisible. In such a case, proceed by either of the following methods: • Execute "Update Media" of "Clip" of the OTHERS menu (see page 133). • Use the latest version of the XDCAM EX Clip Browsing Software to view the clips in the respective card (or folder). Connecting an External Device (i.LINK Connection) When an HDV-compatible video format (SP 1440/60i, SP 1440/50i, or SP 1440/24P) or a DVCAM-compatible video format (format of SD Mode) is selected, setting the "i.LINK I/O" of the OTHERS menu to "HDV" or "DVCAM" enables signal inputs/outputs via the i.LINK(HDV/DV) connector. You can record the same images as those recorded on an SxS memory card in this camcorder on an external device connected to the i.LINK(HDV/DV) connector, or record playback pictures (HDV streams) of the external device on the memory card in the camcorder. For playback, DVCAM streams of 16-bit 2channel lock audio are acceptable. Nonlinear editing conforming to the HDV format is also enabled. Notes • DVCAM streams cannot be recorded with the camcorder. • When you set "i.LINK I/O" of the OTHERS menu to "HDV" or "DVCAM," no signal is output from the SDI OUT connector. • Use the i.LINK(HDV/DV) connector only for one-to-one i.LINK connection. • When you change a setting which affects output signals from the i.LINK(HDV/DV) connector, such as "i.LINK I/O," "HD/SD Mode," "Video Format" of the OTHERS menu, "Output Select," or "Down Converter" of the VIDEO SET menu, disconnect the i.LINK cable then change the setting. Changing such a setting with the i.LINK cable connected may cause improper operation of the connected i.LINK device. Connecting External Devices Recording the Camcorder Picture on an External Device When you set the camcorder to Camera mode, the picture being shot with this camcorder is output as an HDV or DVCAM stream via the i.LINK(HDV/DV) connector. It can be recorded 138 Connecting an External Device (i.LINK Connection)
