Panasonic AG-DVX102B - Manual (Page 8)

System Flexibility
Industry's first DV camera-recorder
to support multi-camera recording.
Recording function and specifications designed
to meet high-level professional needs.
First DV camera-recorder with time-code synchro function –
Supports multi-angle recording with multiple cameras
Connecting two AG-DVX102B units together with a DV cable
(IEEE1394) allows synchronous time-code setting, which then enables
time-code-locked editing of clips recorded with multiple camera-
recorders for "TC synchro editing." The AG-DVX102B is the industry's
first DV camera-recorder with this function, which was previously
available only on bigger, bulkier camera-recorders. The built-in
SMPTE time-code generator/reader lets you select, and preset Free
Run/Rec Run modes. User Bits are also provided, letting you record
your choice of date, time, frame rate or user data.
File Transfer Function
New user file transfer function makes it easy to get uniform image
quality from multiple camera-recorders. When two AG-DVX102B
units are connected together with a DV cable(IEEE1394) you can
transfer user files containing camera parameters to help match
cameras on a multiple camera shoot. Additionally the Time Code
value can be transferred as well making a common starting point for
recording.
