You can connect two DSR-70A/70AP units and carry out parallel
recording between them.
Parallel recording using two DSR-70A/70AP units can be performed in the
following two ways.
(In the following explanation of two-unit parallel recording, the controlling
unit is referred to as the recorder and the controlled unit as the player.)
• Inputting an external timecode to both the player and recorder.
• Inputting the timecode generated by the recorder to the player.
There are some differences in equipment/signal connections and basic
settings between these two cases.
