Recording External Input Signals - Sony EXMOR PMW-EX1 Operating Instructions Manual

• If the playback clip is short or the playback
starting point is near the end of the clip, 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 or 15
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.
