Recording

This section describes the necessary settings and
operations to perform recording on this unit.
For details of connections and settings when using this
unit as part of an editing system, see Chapter 5,
"Connections and Settings for Editing" (page 55).
For details of use for dubbing through the i.LINK
interface, see Chapter 6, "Using the i.LINK Connector for
Dubbing and TC Insert" (page 64).
For this unit, recording in HDV or DVCAM format is
recommended, but recording in DV (SP mode only) format
is also possible.
Notes
• When carrying out multiscene continuous recording on a
DV (SP) tape using this unit with an optional remote
control unit such as the DSRM-10, on rare occasions, the
video may be disrupted at the IN point of the first scene
or the audio may be suppressed due to a REC MODE
(audio recording mode) difference between the tape and
this unit.
There may also be cases in which the unit is subjected to
some functional restrictions attributable to the use of the
DV format.
• Multiscene continuous recording is not possible for
recording in HDV format.
• To record an analog input signal, the option board
HVBK-1505 (option) (page 10) is necessary.
For details of the relation between input signals and
recording format, see "Input Signals and Recording
Formats" (page 36).
