Connecting External Devices
When an HDV-compatible video format (SP
1440/59.94i, SP 1440/50i, or SP 1440/23.98P) or
a DVCAM-compatible video format (format of
SD mode) is selected, setting “SDI/HDMI/
i.LINK I/O Select” (page 115) of the VIDEO
SET menu to a setting that includes “HDV” or
“DVCAM” enables signal inputs/outputs via the
i.LINK(HDV/DV) connector.
You can record the same images as those
recorded on an SxS memory card in this
camcorder on an external device connected to the
i.LINK(HDV/DV) connector, or record playback
pictures (HDV streams) of the external device on
the memory card in the camcorder.
For playback, DVCAM streams of 16-bit 2-
channel lock audio are acceptable.
Nonlinear editing conforming to the HDV format
is also enabled.
Notes
• DVCAM streams cannot be recorded with the
camcorder.
• When “SDI/HDMI/i.LINK I/O Select” of the
VIDEO SET menu is set to a setting that
includes “HDV” or “DVCAM,” no signal is
output from the SDI OUT connector and
Slow&Quick Motion mode cannot be used.
• Use the i.LINK(HDV/DV) connector only for
one-to-one i.LINK connection.
• When you change a setting which affects output
signals from the i.LINK(HDV/DV) connector,
such as “System” of the OTHERS menu, “SDI/
HDMI/i.LINK I/O Select,” or “Down
Converter” of the VIDEO SET menu,
disconnect the i.LINK cable then change the
setting. Changing such a setting with the
i.LINK cable connected may cause improper
operation of the connected i.LINK device.
When you set the camcorder to E-E Display/
Recording mode, the picture being shot with this
camcorder is output as an HDV or DVCAM
stream via the i.LINK(HDV/DV) connector. It
can be recorded on a connected HDV or DVCAM
recorder in synchronization with your recording
start/stop operation on this camcorder.

DVCAM: To output a DVCAM stream in
SD mode
• Set “Trigger Mode” (page 125) of the
