Transferring Video Recordings to and from a Computer

You can transfer recordings to and from a computer equipped with a IEEE1394 (DV) terminal or IEEE1394 capture board. Use the editing software supplied with your computer/capture board to transfer video recording from tape to computer. Refer to the instruction manual of the software. A driver is preinstalled on Windows operating systems later than Windows 98 Second Edition and Mac operating systems later than Mac OS 9, and will be installed automatically.

XL H1 and XL H1S uses may also be able to transfer video to a computer via the HD-SDI jack on systems that support HD-SDI capture.

The XL1, XL1S, XL2, and XL H1 use industry standard 4 pin DV terminals.

The XL H1A and XL H1S use industry standard 6 pin DV terminals.

Operation may not work correctly depending on the software and the specifications/settings of your computer. If the computer freezes while you have connected the camcorder, disconnect and reconnect the DV cable. If the problem persists, disconnect the interface cable, turn off camcorder and computer, turn camcorder and computer back on and reconnect them.

We recommend powering the camcorder from a household power source while it is connected to the computer. Refer also to the instruction manual of the computer.
