<Cautions when playing back consumer DV tapes and DVCAM tapes>
• Consumer DV tapes which have been recorded in the LP mode cannot be played back.
• When materials which have been recorded on consumer DV tapes or DVCAM tapes are to
be edited, record them onto a DVCPRO tape or tape of any other broadcasting VTR for use.
• The maximum transport speed for consumer DV tapes and DVCAM tapes is 32 times the
normal tape speed.
• The video images may be disturbed during slow motion playback of consumer-use tapes.
• From the viewpoint of protecting the tape, minimize repeated cue-up at the same location
on a consumer-use tape.
• The maximum STILL TIMER time is set to 20 seconds when a consumer-use tape is used.
• The sampling rate of the audio signals recorded on a consumer-use tape is 48 kHz. When
the AJ-YAD455P digital video interface board is used, audio signals can be recorded at a
rate of 44.1 kHz or 32 kHz on a consumer-use tape only when DVCPRO/DV signals are
input.
• During recording on a consumer-use tape, scenes can be recorded with continuity between
frames by exercising control from the controller or personal computer (when the AJ-
YAD455P digital video interface board is used) which has the REC/PAUSE command.
However, in this case, the video and sound for the one frame before and after the continuity
point may be disturbed.
Type
