Connection Using i.LINK
Use in a Nonlinear Editing System
(AV/C Connection)
With this unit connected to a nonlinear editing system by
HDV/DV connectors, you can input and output signals in
HDV or DVCAM/DV format, and use remote control of
this unit.
The following figure shows an example of the
connections.
The i.LINK output from this unit is automatically switched
between DV/DVCAM format and HDV format, according
to the input selection and the format recorded on the tape.
Since the i.LINK stream is different for HDV or DV/
DVCAM, switching causes a bus reset on the i.LINK
interface, which may cause a problem with some
connected nonlinear editors.
In such cases, set OPERATIONAL FUNCTION
>INTERFACE SELECT: i.LINK FORMAT to i.LINK
INPUT, and select the i.LINK input format to match that
to be used.
To connect for DVCAM/DV format
To transfer video and audio signals recorded in DVCAM/
DV format or HDV format to a nonlinear editing system in
DVCAM/DV format, make the following settings.
Here the data recorded in HDV format is output down-
converted to DVCAM/DV format.
• The nonlinear editing system requires editing software
(not supplied) to support the DV or DVCAM format.
