  No “deck-to-deck” systems conversion is possible (unless the deck SPECIFICALLY has this as a FEATURE (not just “switchable” between NTSC or PAL)

  You would need to route the signal through a real-time hardware “box” Systems Convertor,

  or

  copy the footage into a non-linear edit system (like Final Cut Pro) and use software to do the conversion, then dub the footage back out to a deck set to the proper format.
