Digitally Dubbing Signals
in DVCAM/DV Format
In addition to straightforward tape dubbing, you can also
use this unit to dub signals in DVCAM/DV format
automatically from the beginning of the tape to the end
through the SDTI (QSDI) or i.LINK interface.
To use the SDTI (QSDI) interface, the optional DSBK-
1501 board is required.
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
• It is not possible to dub signals recorded in DV (LP)
format.
Digital dubbing is carried out in the digital format used
on the source tape regardless of the recording format
selected on this unit. If the source tape begins with a
section in which no signals are recorded, the
corresponding no-signal section created at the beginning
of the tape recorded on this unit may have a different
length depending on the digital format of the source tape,
the recording format selected on this unit, etc. During
dubbing, if the digital format of the source tape changes,
no signals are recorded until the initial digital format is
restored. No signals are recorded also when the digital
format used on the player is DV (LP).
• 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.
Connections for dubbing via SDTI (QSDI)
interface
To perform SDTI (QSDI) dubbing, connect the REMOTE
connectors and the SDTI (QSDI) IN/OUT connectors on
this unit and a DVCAM device with SDTI (QSDI)
connectors.
For details of the connections and switch settings, see
“Connections for SDTI (QSDI) Dubbing” on page 90.
Connections for dubbing via i.LINK interface
To carry out dubbing through the i.LINK interface,
