Digitally Dubbing Signals 
in DVCAM Format
In addition to straightforward tape dubbing, you can also 
use this unit to dub automatically from the beginning of the 
tape to the end through the i.LINK interface.
When you dub data recorded by a DVCAM camcorder that 
supports the ClipLink function, you can also include the 
data stored in the cassette memory.
Notes
• Use a tape recorded in the DVCAM format. A tape 
recorded in DV format cannot be used as a source tape 
for dubbing through the i.LINK interface.
• 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.
