6.3 Set the Signal Type
Select between
DV+DVC 60Hz
,
DV+DVC 50Hz
or
HDV 50/60Hz
. If the
standard chosen is
DV+DVC 60Hz
, then the
NTSC IRE LEVEL
is dictated by the
source equipment or camera.
6.4 Set File Type
The choices for file types are dependent on the Signal Type chosen. Types
available are Microsoft .avi (Type II), Canopus .avi, both commonly used in
PCs. The QuickTime .mov format used in Macs and .mxf (OP1A) files for use
with other systems such as Avid. In HDV mode, the only file type available is
.m2t and this may need conversion before being edited, depending on your
computer’s specifications and its editing software.
Note
: The file System and Type started within one CF card will apply to all
subsequent recordings within that card and can only be changed after the
content is erased or the card is formatted.
6.5 Format the CF card
The DN-60A is primarily a capture device, as opposed to an archiving device,
and it is best to start out with freshly DN-60A formatted CF card(s) on each
project. Formatting your card in another device may cause issues later on. If
you are re-using your CF cards just remember to backup any existing content
already on the card(s) to computer first before formatting the card(s).
Formatting will not only clear the DN-60A CF card but it will also reset the file
system to FAT32.
6.6 Select which time code to display
With DV or HDV, whilst recording or playing, the time code displayed can be
either externally or internally generated. If the input signal is External and no
time code is supplied then the External Time Code generated by the DN-60A
is in the dropped-frame format. The internal time code referred to here is
the absolute frame number of the recording in the selected bin and is in the
non-dropped-frame format. The absolute frame number starts from
00:00:00:00 in each bin. When the content is changed to files, the time code
