To copy digitally from the camcorder to the VTR
without the editing function
Using an i.LINK cable (DV cable) to connect a digital
video cassette recorder with an i.LINK connector to the
camcorder, digital copy of video and audio can be carried
out.
Example of connection

Check the playback on the camcorder, and when
playback reaches the scene that you want to record,
start recording again on the external VTR.
The copy to the external VTR starts.

When copy to the external VTR is finished, stop
playback of the disc on the camcorder.
For details about external VTR operations, see the
instruction manual supplied with the external VTR.
To control the camcorder from a VTR with editing
function
By connecting a VTR with an i.LINK connector to the
(i.LINK) DV OUT S400 connector of the camcorder using
an i.LINK cable (DV cable), you can control playback and
recording on the camcorder and perform cut editing and
digital copy.
Example of connection
When using the DSR-2000A/2000AP, press the i.LINK
button on the remote control setting section of the VTR.
To use the automatic copying function of the DSR-2000A/

camcorder to DVCAM on the FORMAT page of the
OPERATION menu.
For details on the external VTR, see the instruction manual
supplied with the external VTR.
To control the camcorder from a nonlinear
editing system
Using the i.LINK cable (DV cable), you can transfer video
and audio signals to a nonlinear editing system from the
camcorder. Editing software that supports the selected
recording format (DVCAM) must be used.
