Connecting to Other Devices – PC
✤ You can connect your camcorder to a PC for copying or editing recorded video.
✤ DV and USB connections are supported.
✤ This function works only in the Camera (PLAY) mode.
✤ Using the IEEE1394 cable (DV cable), you can connect your camcorder to a PC which supports the IEEE 1394 connection.
✤ Windows Movie Maker and other Video Capturing Software can take input from your camcorder through this connection.
Refer to the corresponding video editing software product s documentation for further information on capturing and
manipulating the video.
✤ A Standard DV connection is quite simple. If a product has a DV port (or FireWire), you can transfer data by connecting to
the DV port using a proper cable. Be careful since there are two types of DV ports (4pin and 6pin). This camcorder has a
4pin terminal.
✤ With a digital connection established, both the video and audio signals are transmitted in native DV digital format, allowing
high quality, real-time image transfer.
