Digitally Dubbing Signals 
in DVCAM/DV Format
In addition to straightforward tape dubbing, you can also 
use this unit to dub signals in DVCAM/DV format 
automatically from the beginning of the tape to the end 
through the SDTI (QSDI) or i.LINK interface.
• To use the SDTI (QSDI) interface, the optional DSBK-
1501 board is required.
When a tape recorded on a DSR-1/1P Digital 
Videocassette Recorder or DSR-130/130P Digital 
Camcorder is dubbed, the ClipLink log data held in the 
cassette memory is also copied.
Notes
• It is not possible to dub signals recorded in DV (LP) 
format.
Digital dubbing is carried out in the digital format used 
on the source tape regardless of the recording format 
selected on this unit. If the source tape begins with a 
section in which no signals are recorded, the 
corresponding no-signal section created at the beginning 
of the tape recorded on this unit may have a different 
length depending on the digital format of the source tape, 
the recording format selected on this unit, etc. During 
dubbing, if the digital format of the source tape changes, 
no signals are recorded until the initial digital format is 
restored. No signals are recorded also when the digital 
format used on the player is DV (LP).
• 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.
