on a connected HDV or DVCAM recorder in synchronization with the REC START/STOP operation on this camcorder. 1 Perform the preparatory settings of the camcorder. • Set "i.LINK I/O" (page 131) of the OTHERS menu to "HDV" or "DVCAM." HDV: To output an HDV stream when you set the video format to SP 1440/60i, SP 1440/50i, or SP 1440/24P in HD Mode DVCAM: To output a DVCAM stream in SD Mode • Set "Trigger Mode" (page 131) of the OTHERS menu to "Both" or "External." Both: To record both on the memory card in the camcorder and on the external device External: To record 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 Set the camcorder to Camera mode by setting the power switch to CAMERA. 4 Press the REC START/STOP button. The external device starts recording in synchronization. The status of the external device is displayed in the i.LINK status indication area (page 23) on the LCD monitor/EVF screen. Indication STBY HDV zREC HDV STBY DV zREC DV Status of the external device In HDV recording standby In HDV recording In DV recording standby In DV recording Notes • Operation may be different depending on the type of external device. • Although there is some time lag from which you press the REC START/STOP button until the i.LINK status indication changes, the same pictures are recorded on the memory card in this camcorder and the external device if "Trigger Mode" is set to "Both." • While you can record shot marks on the memory card during recording, they are not added to the pictures recorded on the external device. Nonlinear Editing 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 4-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 "i.LINK I/O" of the OTHERS menu to "HDV" or "DVCAM." For operations of the nonlinear editing software, refer to the operation manual of the software. Recording External Input Signals The HDV stream input from a device connected via the i.LINK connector can be recorded on an SxS memory card in this camcorder. The timecodes superimposed on the i.LINK input are recorded regardless of the settings of the camcorder. Note DVCAM streams cannot be recorded.
