Recordings
You can transfer recordings to a computer
using the HDV/DV terminal.
• A computer equipped with an
IEEE1394 (DV) terminal
or
an IEEE1394
(DV) capture board
• A DV cable (commercially available)
• Video editing software
• The appropriate driver
The standard
of
the video transferred
depends on the standard
of
the original
recording and the compatibility
of
the
video editing software.
When transferring a video originally
recorded in
HDV
standard, if the editing
software supports high-definition video,
video output will be in HD standard. If the
editing software does not support
high-definition video, even if the original
recording
was
made in
HDV
standard,
video output will be in
SO standard.
