Connecting via i.LINK
(FAT only)
Signals can be input/output on the i.LINK
connector when an HDV-compatible video
format (SP 1440/59.94i, SP 1440/50i) or SD
mode is selected.
Set "SDI/HDMI/i.LINK I/O Select" to "HD &
HDV," "SD & HDV," "SD P & HDV," or "SD &
DVCAM" in the VIDEO SET menu.
You can record the same images as those
recorded in this recorder on an external device
connected to the i.LINK connector, or record
playback pictures (HDV streams) from the
external device on the recorder.
For playback, DVCAM streams of 16-bit 2-
channel lock audio are acceptable.
Nonlinear editing conforming to the HDV format
is also enabled.
Notes
• DVCAM streams cannot be recorded with the
recorder.
• Use the i.LINK connector only for one-to-one i.LINK
connection.
• When you change a setting which affects output
signals from the i.LINK connector, such as "System"
in the OTHERS menu or "SDI/HDMI/i.LINK I/O
Select" and "Down Converter" in the VIDEO SET
menu, disconnect the i.LINK cable then change the
setting. Changing such a setting with the i.LINK cable
connected may cause improper operation of the
connected i.LINK device.
