DVCAM Command
Response time
When you control a DVCAM from the PC
consecutively, it takes some time for the
DVCAM to get ready for a next command
from the PC. This time depends on the
DVCAM. If you have trouble in controlling
the DVCAM from the PC consecutively,
change this value to a longer time than 4 sec-
onds. Default time is 4 seconds. For example,
5 seconds.
DV Export prefix time
When you export anAVI file to a DVCAM,
there is data prefix time from starting to ex-
port the AVI file to recording it onto a DV
tape. The data prefix time results in failing to
record the beginning of theAVI file onto the
DV tape. To avoid this problem, you can set
atimehere. Duringthetimeyousethere, blank
data will be exported to the DVCAM and it
avoids failing to record the beginning of the
AVI file onto the DVtape.

10-5.What kind of Video Editing Software works?
<Video Editing Software>

file which consists with original DV data stream. This DV data stream requires 3.6MB/Sec
and includes 720x480 resolution video data(NTSC). Also, the file size is restricted up to
4GB (about 19 minutes).As this captured DVfile has a different file format fromAVI file
ofWindows3.1/95, you need special Video Editing Software to open and edit it.
If you want to edit video, you have two choices.
1.)You have to use Video Editing Software which can handle MS DV-AVI2 format.
2.)You have to use CompressAVI application and convert MS DV-AVI2 format to other formats
which yourVideo Editing Software can handle.
You can use bundledVideoStudio without file format conversion. But current existent Video
editing software can not treat MS DV-AVI2 format file. So, you need file format conversion
both before and after editing.
Adobe Premiere5.1
MediaStudio Pro 6.0,MGI VideoWaveIII can handle MS DV-AVI2 format.
