Duplication (generating a work tape with the same time code)
DUPLICATE PLUS is a dubbing function which
duplicates the tape with time codes through i.LINK
connection. By using DUPLICATE PLUS, it helps to
make a work tape which contains the exact same time
code that the original source tape contains.
DUPLICATE PLUS is applicable with HDV1080i,
DVCAM, and DV (SP) formats. Also, at the tape end
or the tape in PAUSE by operating STOP button, you
can change the tape of both the player and recorder
during duplication (page 58). Therefore, multiple tapes
can be duplicated from multiple resource tapes on a
tape continuously.
(The unit does not support cassette memory
.)
Note
Use this function when making a one-to-one
connection. Also, do not disconnect the i.LINK cable
during duplication.
Setting DUPLICATE PLUS mode
Set [DUPLICATE PLUS] mode in [VTR SET] menu.
Setting the duplicating format
Select the duplicating format with [FORMAT SEL] in
[DUPLICATE PLUS] mode. The unit functions the
same as it has detected a blank portion on a tape, if the
unit detects a format other than the selected format
(page 58).
ALL : Duplicates the original tape on the recorder.
HDV1080i : The player automatically detects
HDV1080i format and duplicate.
DVCAM : The player automatically detects
DVCAM format and duplicate.
DV SP : The player automatically detects DV (SP)
format and duplicate.
Notes
• If the original signal is mixed with other type of
signal as you transfer the image to a computer, the
transfer procedures may be interrupted. When
transferring an image using a tape dubbed with
DUPLICATE PLUS on the unit to a computer, we
recommend you to duplicate it in a single format.
• When a non-compatible HDV signals (HDV720p,
etc.) is input during duplication after [FORMAT
SEL] is set to [ALL], the HDV signals are recorded
as an unrecorded portion. Also, when the
incompatible DV signals (DV LP etc.,) are input, the
signal is recorded in DV SP.
• When the format of a tape is switched to a different
format during duplication, the portion where the
format is switched may be distorted.
Setting the auto rewind function
Set [AUTO REW] in [DUPLICATE PLUS] to select
whether you want to use the auto rewind function.
ON : Rewinds the tape on both the player and the
recorder, and starts duplication. Also, when you
continue to duplicate a resource tape from multiple
tapes, the new work tape will be rewound
automatically and start duplication.
OFF : Starts duplicating from the current portion of
the tape.
Note
Depending on the specification of the player, you may
not search on the beginning of a tape. In this case, set
[AUTO REW] to [OFF].
Operating DUPLICATE PLUS
The duplicating procedures of DUPLICATE PLUS
differs depending on the duplicate settings.
Note
If you operate the player while duplicating, the
duplicate process may be interrupted and the tape may
not be correctly duplicated. Do not operate the player
while duplicating.
When [AUTO REW] in [DUPLICATE PLUS] is
set to [ON]:
1
Connect the unit and the player using an i.LINK
cable (not supplied). After turning on the power of
the unit, set INPUT SELECT switch on the unit to
HDV/DV.
2
Press STOP button on the unit to stop the tape.
3
While holding DUPLICATE PLUS button down,
press PLAY button on the unit.
The unit and the player will automatically rewind
the tape to the beginning. The unit enters the
duplicate-standby mode. The player enters the
playback pause mode. Then DUPLICATE PLUS
and PLAY indicators on the unit light and the
duplication starts.
