There are two modes for audio recording, lock mode and unlock mode. In lock mode,
the sampling frequencies of audio and video are synchronized. In unlock mode, which
consumer DV format adopts, the two sampling frequencies are independent.
Therefore, lock mode is more effective than unlock mode in digital processing and
smooth transition during audio editing.

Both mini DVCAM and mini DV cassettes can be used on mini DVCAM or mini DV
video equipment. The recording format of picture is defined according to recorder’s

be used for recording, we recommend you to use mini DVCAM cassettes to get the
most out of high reliability of DVCAM format. The recording time of mini DV cassettes
is 2/3 shorter than that indicated on the mini DV cassettes.
