ClipLink™ function
The ClipLink function links all stages from shooting to
editing. Once editing points have been set with this
function during shooting, they can be used to boost the
efficiency of editing work.
However, this function does not work when using the
DV OUT connector. (See pages 68, 109 and 136.)
Creation of clips
Using the ClipLink function, the camcorder operator
can create clips to be used during editing.
The images captured at the Mark IN points are
recorded in a compressed format onto the tape as
“Index Pictures.” In addition, editing point-related data
(scene number, time code for Mark IN/OUT points,
etc.) is recorded in the cassette memory.
ClipLink mode
To use the ClipLink function, select the menu setting
to set the DSR-500WSL/500WSPL into ClipLink
mode. There is also a ClipLink continue function that
enables clips to be continued even after a break in
recording.
PCM digital audio
Recording/playback can be set to audio lock mode.
Selectable between two-channel recording (with a
sampling frequency of 48 kHz) mode or four-channel
recording (with a sampling frequency of 32 kHz) mode
(CH-1 and CH-2 only). (See pages 16, 17, 55 and
109.)
Equipped with audio output connectors
During recording or playback, audio output can be
monitored via a built-in speaker, a connected earphone
or via (two-channel) audio output connectors. (See
pages 24 and 25.)
Color playback
