Duplication (generating a work tape with the same time code)

If you copy a source tape using the DUP (duplicate)
button on this unit, you can copy the time codes
recorded on the source tape as they are. You can easily
make a work tape having the same time codes as the
source tape.
The duplicate function on this unit works only when
using a source tape recorded in DVCAM format and
with DV connections.
This unit functions as a recorder. To perform
duplication on this unit, make sure to change REC
MODE on the VTR SET menu to DVCAM first.
To set the duplicate mode
This unit has three duplicate modes.
Set DUPLICATE on the VTR SET menu to select a
duplicate mode as follows.
AUTOq (AUTO TAPE COPY WITH
CASSETTE MEMORY COPY): The player and
the recorder automatically rewind the tape to the
beginning to start duplicating. The cassette
memory is also duplicated.
AUTOq (AUTO TAPE COPY): The player and
the recorder automatically rewind the tape to the
beginning to start duplicating. The cassette
memory is not duplicated.
Notes
• You cannot pause during a duplicate process.
• Before you start duplication, make sure that the
player has finished loading the cassette.
• The duplication starts after the i.LINK
communication is established so that the first part of
the source tape is dropped on the copied tape. Play
back the source tape from the preceding point.
• If the player has an auto repeat function, set the
function to off.
• You may not be able to duplicate the first part of the
source tape. Locate the recorded portion on the
source tape, then start duplicating.
• If there is a blank portion on the tape, the first part of
the recorded portion that follows may be dropped on
the copied tape.
• If you start duplication at some midpoint in the tape,
the search function may not work correctly on the
copied tape or problems may occur when editing. It is
recommended that you select AUTOq or
AUTOq for the duplicate mode.

Chapter
MANUALq (MANUAL TAPE COPY): The tape
is duplicated from any location. The cassette
memory is not duplicated.
Duplicating a tape
The duplicate procedure differs depending on the
duplicate mode.
Notes
• If you operate the player while duplicating, the
duplicate process may be interrupted and the tape
may not be correctly duplicated. Do not operate the
player while duplicating.
• You can duplicate a tape regardless of the DISPLAY
SELECT selector setting, but the duplication screen
will be displayed only when the DISPLAY SELECT
selector has been set to DATA.

Detecting a blank portion during
duplication
If the unit detects a blank portion on the source tape
during duplication, the skip function will automatically
skip the blank portion, reducing the length of the
recorded part of the tape. (This function is available
only when the duplicate mode is AUTOq or
AUTOq.)
The operations of the player and recorder (this unit)
when a blank portion is detected are as follows:
