FOCUS Enhancements DR-DV5000 Camcorder User Manual


 
AV/C
AV/C is utilized in PLAYBACK and other
situations where DR-DV5000 is controlled
by an external FireWire device (such as a
DV NLE system), connected to the DV I/O
port on DR-DV5000.
NOTE: AV/C is NOT for use in DR-DV5000
RECORD MODES.
Syncro Slaved
In SYNCRO SLAVED mode, the camcorder
and DR-DV5000 share the same REC trigger
and DR-DV5000 is slaved to the camcorder.
Once set and the user exits the CONTROL
MENU, they will return to the default splash
screen. DR-DV5000 also immediately enters
REC PAUSE mode and a Y appears next
to the record symbol on the camcorder
viewfinder and LCD (GY-DV5000 series
only) as well as the DR-DV5000 LCD. All
triggers of REC and REC PAUSE are
controlled by the camcorder exclusively.
Every time the camcorder REC button is
pressed, DR-DV5000 goes into the particular
RECORD MODE that is selected. When
pressed a second time, DR-DV5000 goes
into REC PAUSE. Another press of the REC
button on the camcorder again starts the
particular RECORD MODE that is selected.
At this point, a new track is created on disk.
Timecode generated by the camcorder is
recorded to the file when DR-DV5000 is
set to EXT TC mode.
When used with RETRO DISK or RETRO
CACHE modes, as soon as SYNCRO SLAVE
is set, the camcorder begins recording to disk.
A press of the REC trigger on the camcorder
kicks DR-DV5000 out of RETRO DISK or
RETRO CACHE and goes into standard REC.
When the camcorder is triggered back into
REC PAUSE mode, DR-DV5000 once again
goes into RETRO DISK or RECORD CACHE
mode again.
The DR-DV5000 buttons (other than MENU,
DISP and SHFT) are locked out when in this
mode, as is wired or infrared remote control
units. If in VTR mode on the camcorder, all
keys work. The user is only able to exit
SYNCRO SLAVE by entering the CONTROL
MENU which they can do directly by pressing
the MENU button when on the DR-DV5000
default splash screen. If the camcorder is set
to VTR mode, DR-DV5000s control panel
becomes active in order to allow playback.
If a tape ends while using SYNCRO SLAVE
mode, DR-DV5000 will continue to record.
To STOP a recording, eject the tape in the
transport and then it is possible to continue
REC and REC/PAUSE functions on DR-
DV5000 with the camcorders VTR button
and the camcorder is set to REGEN or
PRST/REC.
NOTE: If DR-DV5000 is set to EXT TC when in
SYNCRO SLAVE mode, EXT TC will stop once
the tape in GY-DV5000 ends. Use a different TC
mode when using SYNCRO SLAVE.
Series Record Mode
SERIES RECORD will start recording to disk
automatically when a tape is close to the end
of a record session. Once recording to disk has
started, REC will continue until stop is pressed
on DR-DV5000.
