Handling Files

4-1 Overview

When a computer is connected to this unit
in file access mode (FAM connection), you
can handle video and audio data as files.
The recording conditions during an AV/C
connection are fixed at DVCAM format,
four audio channels (16-bit), but with an
FAM connection, you can write files in
DVCAM/MPEG IMX 50/40/30 format,
with eight audio channels (16-bit) or four
channels (24-bit). (You can write files in the
same format on a single disc.)
