i.LINK cable (DV cable), you can control playback and
recording of the camcorder and perform cut editing and
digital copy.

When using DSR-2000A, press the i.LINK button on
the remote control setting section.
To use the automatic copying function of DSR-2000A,
it is necessary to set the recording format of the
camcorder to DVCAM on the VTR MODE page of the

For details on the external VTR, see the instruction
manual supplied with the external VTR.
To control the camcorder from a non-linear
editing system
Using the i.LINK cable (DV cable), you can transfer video

not be able to be captured frame by frame using a non-
linear editing system.
