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/
2000AP, it is necessary to set the recording format of the
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.
Example of connection
Operate the computer to set up the nonlinear editing
software.
For details, see the software’s manual.
• Video edited using a nonlinear editing system cannot be
recorded to disc on this camcorder via an i.LINK cable
(DV cable).
• When a disc with non-continuous timecode recorded is
subjected to video capturing on a nonlinear editing
system, the capturing precision may not be frame
accurate.
