Dubbing Procedures - Sony HVR-M35U Operating Instructions Manual

Dubbing to Other Equipment Using the i.LINK Jack
There are some limitations to down converting a tape
recorded in HDV format to DVCAM format.
For details, see "i.LINK SET" in the "IN/OUT REC" menu
on page 74.
Notes
• If you output pictures in the playback pause mode
when using an i.LINK connection, recorded images
may appear distorted.
• When the tape is recorded in HDV format, the picture
is output as a simplified picture during playback at
various speeds (page 41).
• When using an i.LINK connection, you cannot output
only pictures or sounds separately.
• When you duplicate down converted signals from
HDV to DVCAM on an HDV/DV cassette in DVCAM
format, the available recording time is reduced to
about 2/3 of the recording time indicated on the tape.
However, when a DVCAM cassette is recorded using
DVCAM format, the available recording time is the
same as the recording time indicated on the DVCAM
cassette.
• When progressive HDV signals are played back and
down converted into DVCAM (or DV) format to
output to i.LINK connection, the signals are converted
to interlace system. 1080/24p and 1080/30p are
converted to 480i, and 1080/25p to 576i, respectively.
• When 4-channel audio HDV signals are played back
and down converted into DVCAM (or DV) format to
be output to an i.LINK connection, the output audio
becomes 2-channel. You can switch the channels to be
output from CH-1 and CH-2 to CH-3 and CH-4 by
changing the setting of [DOWN CONV AU] in
[i.LINK SET] of the [IN/OUT REC] menu.
• When HDV signals are played back and down
converted into DVCAM (or DV) format to be output,
the unit can output 4-channel audio signals to jacks
other than the HDV/DV jack.
