Sony Z1 print to tape problems FCP 5 HDV Format
I researched several post on this topic and still can’t get this to work. Here’s my situation. I have imported and edited my HDV footage in the HDV easy set up in FCP 5. I now want to record this HDV sequence (in HDV format) back to a Sony Master tape using my Z1. I am working in a PAL environment and have dbl checked all my settings on the camera and within FCP and I still can’t get the video to output. I just get a blue screen on my camera monitor. Can the Sony Z1 even record back to tape in HDV format? When I have the IN/OUT Rec setting set to HDV, REC MODE is greyed out. Only when I have this set to DV or Auto is the REC MODE open to changes. I have my camera set to VCR and the settings are these on the camera:
IN/OUT Rec: VCR HDV/DV is set to HDV (Thats what I want to record in, yes?)
REC MODE: Greyed out
Component is 1080i (Pal)
iLink is set to off
A/V to D/V Out is offFinal Cut Pro settings: (Audio Video Settings)
Summary Tab: Sequence Preset is: HDV-1080i50
Capture Preset is HDV
Device Control: Sony FirewireAV Device Tab:
Playback Output Video: NONE
Audio: Default
“Different Output for Edit to tape/print to video” Certain settings are greyed out. On this it depends on what my camera is set to in the IN/OUT Rec setting.Please, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Been trying to get this to work for days.

“to import pictures from the computer to your camcorder.
In the HDV format –
set [VCR HDV/DV] to [HDV] (p.71) and
[HDV-DV CONV] to [OFF] in [i.LINK CONV] (p.74)”you need to have the camcorder connected via I.LINK / Firewire.
hope that helps
