down-converted signal is not output.

assemble editing. For improved effect efficiency, various
functions such as setting and modifying edit points,
preview, and review, are available.

When using the HDCAM format, 59.94i, 50i , 29.97PsF,
25PsF, 24PsF, and 23.98PsF mode recording and playback
can be selected from a menu. When 59.94i or 29.97PsF is
selected, a Betacam SX cassette recorded in NTSC or
analog Betacam cassette can be played. When 50i or 25PsF
is selected, a Betacam SX cassette recorded in PAL or
