Digitally Dubbing Signals
in DVCAM Format
In addition to straightforward tape dubbing, you can also
use this unit to dub automatically from the beginning of the
tape to the end through the i.LINK interface.
When you dub data recorded by a DVCAM camcorder that
supports the ClipLink function, you can also include the
data stored in the cassette memory.
Notes
• Use a tape recorded in the DVCAM format. A tape
recorded in DV format cannot be used as a source tape
for dubbing through the i.LINK interface.
• Regardless of the audio recording mode setting of this
unit, dubbing is performed with the original audio
recording mode unchanged (two-channel/48 kHz mode
or four-channel/32 kHz mode).
• Approximately the last 2 minutes of the tape may not be
copied because of differences in tape lengths. (If an
index picture is recorded in this portion, it may also not
be copied.)
• A continuous recorded section of approximately 5
seconds is required before the recording start point. It is
recommended to record beforehand color bars or a
similar signal at the start point of the source tape to be
dubbed on this unit.
