This section describes the connections and settings 
necessary to perform dubbing on other equipment, using 
the unit as a video player. 

Connect the unit to the recorder as shown on the right 
using an i.LINK cable. 
The signal flow is automatically detected so you do not 
need to make separate connections for input and output. 
Also, by connecting the unit to an editing controller via 
the  HDV/DV jack, you can configure a digital non-
linear editing system.

Before dubbing, you must set the format in which you 
want to output signals. Make [HDV/DV SEL] (page 70) 
and [i.LINK SET] (page 72) settings in the [IN/OUT 
REC] menu. 

For details, refer to “Major Differences among HDV1080i, 
DVCAM, and DV Formats” on page 31. 
For details on i.LINK output formats, see page 97.

To dub a tape recorded in HDV format using the 
duplicate function on other units such as the DSR-25/
45/50, select [DVCAM] in [HDV 

t DV CONV] of 

[i.LINK SET] in the [IN/OUT REC] menu.
