3-4 Recording Video Signals from External Equipment

3-4 Recording Video
Signals from
External Equipment
With this camcorder, you can select in the OPERATION
menu whether to record the video captured by the camera,
or whether to record a signal from an external video
device.
If this switching function is assigned to the ASSIGN 2
switch, regardless of the setting in the OPERATION
menu, you can make the selection with the ASSIGN 2
switch. While you are recording a DV stream from an
external DV device, the indication "EXT-DV" appears on
the viewfinder screen. While you are recording analog
composite signals (with the CBK-SC01 installed), the
indication "EXT IV" appears on the viewfinder screen.
Notes
• You can switch the signals to be recorded using the
ASSIGN 2 switch or by a menu operation at any time
while recording on the disc. However, the signals
recorded at the point where the signal is switched may be
distorted. If the camera/external switching function is
assigned to the ASSIGN 2 switch, you cannot use the
following menu operations to switch between camera
and external source input.
• Even when the REC VIDEO SOURCE item is set to
"EXT", if the external video signal is not input to the
i.LINK DV IN/OUT S400 connector or the GENLOCK
IN connector, the camcorder does not switch to EXT
mode, and the pictures being shot by the camcorder are
recorded on the disc.

External Equipment
Notes
• Recording a DV stream is possible only when the video
recording format is DVCAM.
If the currently set video recording format is other than
DVCAM, change it to DVCAM referring to 5-1-1
"Setting the Video Recording Format" on page 87.
• If i.LINK MODE is set to "FAM" on the OUTPUT page
(page 186) or SOURCE SEL page (page 192) of the
OPERATION menu, it is not possible to record DV
streams. To record DV streams, set i.LINK MODE to
"AV/C".
