Remote Control of the DN-60
IEEE-1394
The DN-60 accepts the AV command set defined in the IEEE-1394
protocol and as such can be connected to most computers and stand
alone editing equipment using that interface. At this stage, this command
set does not allow the selection of different bins so this function must be
manually made as if a tape were asked to be changed. The AV
command set also does not allow random access to the start of the clips
but most editors will recognize the clip boundaries sequentially through
the time code discontinuity likely to take place at the beginning of each
clip.
Note: The acquisition of video in the DN-60 is instantaneous so requires
to pre-roll. This limits the random access of an early frame in a batch
capture by an editor that is setup to ask for a minimum pre-roll greater
than zero. That limit is equal to the number of frames in the minimum
pre-roll time.
RS232 INTERFACE
This option is enabled through the System Setup Menu. The DN-60 can
be controlled via the RS232 port. This port requires a special adapter
sold separately. The command set is based on the Sony 422 protocol
and includes a substantial set of vendor specific commands which allow
selection of bins and playing from point A to point B across bins, for
example. The protocol can be found in the appendix section of this
manual.
