 Connecting to a Computer

Transferring Video Recordings

You can transfer recordings to a computer 
using the HDV/DV terminal.

Equipment and System Requirements 

 A computer equipped with an 

IEEE1394 (DV) terminal or an IEEE1394 
(DV) capturing board.

 A DV cable (commercially available).

 Video Editing Software.

 The appropriate driver

The standard of the video transferred 
depends on the standard of the original 
recording and the compatibility of the 
video editing software.
When transferring a video originally 
recorded in HDV standard, if the editing 
software supports high definition video, 
the video transferred will be in HDV 
standard too. If the editing software does 
not support high definition video, even if 
the original recording was made in HDV 
standard, the video transferred will be in 
DV standard.

POINTS TO CHECK

Change the following settings as necessary 
before making the connections. Refer to the 
corresponding explanation of each setting in the 

PLAY/OUT SETUP menu option list 

(

34).

- [PLAYBACK STD] and [DV OUTPUT] to 
select the standard of the output video. Note 
that the video standard of the transferred video 
depends also on the standards supported by 
the editing software.
- [AV

DV] to select whether to transfer 

recordings from the tape in the camcorder (set 
to [

OFF]) or video converted from an 

external analog source (set to [

ON]).

Connecting

PC Connection Diagrams.

When the connection is recognized 
“

HDV/DV” will be displayed. When 

the video output starts the display will 
change to “

HDV-OUT” or “

DV-

OUT” depending on the original 
recording and the settings selected.

Refer to the instruction manual of the 
editing software. 

IMPORTANT

 The video transfer may not work correctly 

depending on the software and the 
specifications/settings of your computer.

 If the computer freezes while the camcorder 

is connected to it, disconnect the DV cable and 
turn off the camcorder and the computer. After a 
short while, turn them on again, set the 
camcorder to 

 mode and restore the 

connection.

 Before connecting the camcorder to the 

computer using a DV cable, make sure that the 
camcorder and computer are not connected 
with a USB cable, and that no other IEEE1394 
device is connected to the computer.

 Depending on the video editing software, you 

may need to set the POWER switch of the 
camcorder to a mode other than PLAY. Refer to 
the instruction manual of the editing software.

NOTES

 We recommend powering the camcorder 

using the compact power adapter.

 Refer also to the instruction manual of the 

computer.

 The programs ZoomBrowser EX and Image 

Browser included with the supplied CD-ROM 
can only be used to transfer still images 
recorded on the memory card. Video recordings 
on the tape cannot be transferred to the 
computer using the software included with the 
supplied CD-ROM.
