Using the Digital Video Control
This feature enables the camcorder to control the record and stop functions of an external digital device
connected to the camcorder through the HDV/DV terminal. The device must comply with the IEEE1394
AV/C protocol. Use the optional CV-150F (4 pin-4 pin) or CV-250F (4 pin-6 pin) DV cable to connect the
external device.
Windows XP (SP2) users can use the CONSOLE software (sold separately) to download video and
audio recordings (in HDV or DV standards) from the camcorder to a computer’s hard disk. For details
refer to the software’s help modules.
