Editing 99 Converting Analog Signals into Digital Signals (Analog-Digital Converter) E By connecting the camcorder to a VCR or 8mm video camcorder, you can convert analog video/audio signals to digital signals and output the digital signals via the DV terminal. Depending on the signal sent from the connected device, the conversion from analog to digital signals might not work properly (e. g. , signals that include copyright protective signals or anomalous signals such as ghost signals).
