ClipLink™ function
The ClipLink function links all stages from shooting to
editing. Once editing points have been set with this
function during shooting, they can be used to boost the
efficiency of editing work.
However, this function does not work when using the
DV OUT connector. (See pages 68, 109 and 136.)
Creation of clips
Using the ClipLink function, the camcorder operator
can create clips to be used during editing.
The images captured at the Mark IN points are
recorded in a compressed format onto the tape as
“Index Pictures.” In addition, editing point-related data
(scene number, time code for Mark IN/OUT points,
etc.) is recorded in the cassette memory.
ClipLink mode
To use the ClipLink function, select the menu setting
to set the DSR-500WSL/500WSPL into ClipLink
mode. There is also a ClipLink continue function that
enables clips to be continued even after a break in
recording.
PCM digital audio
Recording/playback can be set to audio lock mode.
Selectable between two-channel recording (with a
sampling frequency of 48 kHz) mode or four-channel
recording (with a sampling frequency of 32 kHz) mode
(CH-1 and CH-2 only). (See pages 16, 17, 55 and
109.)
Equipped with audio output connectors
During recording or playback, audio output can be
monitored via a built-in speaker, a connected earphone
or via (two-channel) audio output connectors. (See
pages 24 and 25.)
Color playback
Connect an external video monitor for color playback
(playback adaptor not required). The DSR-500WSL/
500WSPL is equipped with two video monitor
connectors: one for composite video output and the
other for S-video output. (See page 24.)
VCR data display
The DSR-500WSL/500WSPL is able to display the
following data on the viewfinder screen. (See pages
76, 89 and 90.)
• Time values (counter, time code, or user bit values)
• Audio recording levels
• Remaining tape time
• Operation mode of the VCR section
• Remaining battery capacity
• ClipLink information
Recording on external VCRs
Betacam or S-VHS VCRs can be connected to the
VTR connector (26-pin) on the rear panel. (See pages
25, 26, 45 and 56.)
Equipped with the DV OUT connector
The DV OUT connector is i.LINK
1)
compatible. You
can connect with the Sony equipment which has the
DV input connector.
You can do cut editing and digital dubbing if you
connect the DSR-70/70P Digital Videocassette
Recorder (with the DSBK-140 is fitted) to the DV
OUT connector on the camcorder, using an i.LINK
cable (DV connecting cable). (See pages 25, 26, 45
