When using this unit as the recorder for editing in 
DVCAM format:
• It is not possible to carry edit audio channels separately. 

However, if all audio channels are selected, insert 
editing is possible.

• For the audio edit points, you can select a cut or fade-in/

fade-out by menu selection.

• For linear editing using an i.LINK input, if controlled 

through the RS-422A interface, the edit points are offset. 
Use i.LINK for the control too.

When using this unit as the player for playback in HDV 
format:
When using this unit as an HD linear editing player, this 
unit does not support synchronization. Either turn the 
controller’s player synchronization function off, or set it to 
“Preroll & Play.”

A tape recorded in HDV format cannot be edited with this 
unit when using this unit as the recorder in an editing 
system.

The following figure shows an example of the connections 
for a DVCAM format linear editing system connected to 
an RM-280 editing controller, with a DSR-1500A/1500AP 
as the player, and this unit as the recorder.
