Recording
This section describes the necessary settings and 
operations to perform recording on this unit.
For details of connections and settings when using this 
unit as part of an editing system, see Chapter 5, 
“Connections and Settings for Editing” (page 55).
For details of use for dubbing through the i.LINK 
interface, see Chapter 6, “Using the i.LINK Connector for 
Dubbing and TC Insert” (page 64).
For this unit, recording in HDV or DVCAM format is 
recommended, but recording in DV (SP mode only) format 
is also possible.
• When carrying out multiscene continuous recording on a 
DV (SP) tape using this unit with an optional remote 
control unit such as the DSRM-10, on rare occasions, the 
video may be disrupted at the IN point of the first scene 
or the audio may be suppressed due to a REC MODE 
(audio recording mode) difference between the tape and 
this unit.
There may also be cases in which the unit is subjected to 
some functional restrictions attributable to the use of the 
DV format.
• Multiscene continuous recording is not possible for 
recording in HDV format.
• To record an analog input signal, the option board 
HVBK-1505 (option) (page 10) is necessary.
For details of the relation between input signals and 
recording format, see “Input Signals and Recording 
Formats” (page 36)
.
