Dubbing mode (Page 87)
Dubbing mode is a function for down-converting contents recorded in
HD (1080i, 720P) on the P2 card to an DV format (480i) and recording it
to tape. You can record onto DV tape contents that have a slow & quick
motion effect.
This is useful when backing up images and checking images on AV
equipment.
