Recording Video and Audio to an External Hard Disk
When you want to record program output or material to an external hard disk,
follow the procedure below to connect the external hard disk and configure the
settings for recording.
Caution
Always format an external hard disk from the unit before starting to record.
For details of formatting an external hard disk, see "Formatting an External
Hard Disk" (page 172).
1
Connect the external hard disk to the 6-pin i.LINK connector (HDD) of the
interface module.
When recording program output
Although the external hard disk can be connected to any interface module,
one of the two inputs of the interface module it is connected to will no longer
be available for recording input material or for DV input. Therefore, we
recommend connecting the external hard disk to an interface module
inputting analog material that is not going to be recorded.
