:SDI switch

This is used to select the video and audio signals which are to be output from the HD SDI OUT connector and the audio signals which are to be output from the AUDIO OUT connectors.

EE/PB : During playback, the playback video and playback audio signals are output; in all other modes, the EE video and EE audio signals are output.

EE: The EE video and EE audio signals are output at all times.

OFF : Signal output is stopped. (This serves

effectively as a power-conserving mode.)

<Note>

With the settings at shipment, this function does not work at the OFF position when a cable is connected to the HD SDI OUT connector. For further details, refer to the FUNCTION screen (page 97) of the VTR menu.

During recording, the HD SDI OUT output signals cannot be switched from ON to OFF or vice versa. The status set prior to the commencement of recording is maintained.

;CHARACTER switch

This controls whether the characters are to be superimposed onto the pictures which are output

from the HD SDI OUT connector.

ON	:	The	characters	are	superimposed.
OFF	:	The	characters	are	not superimposed.

<VTR START button

When this is pressed, recording starts; when it is pressed again, recording stops.

This button functions in the same way as the lens VTR button.

=VTR SAVE/STBY (tape protection) switch

This is used to select the power supply mode when
the VTR has temporarily stopped recording (REC
PAUSE mode).
SAVE	: This is the tape protection mode.	The
	cylinder is stopped in the half-loading status.
	Less power is consumed than at the STBY
	position, and the operating time provided by
	the battery is prolonged. Compared with the
	STBY position, it takes longer for recording to
	commence after the VTR START button	<
	has been pressed.
	When the switch is set to this position, the
	VTR SAVE lamp inside the viewfinder lights.
STBY	: At this position, recording is commenced as
	soon as the VTR START button is pressed.

<Note>

When the prescribed amount of time has elapsed in the STBY mode, the unit is automatically set to the SAVE mode. To return the unit to the STBY mode, set the VTR SAVE/STBY switch to SAVE, and then again to the STBY position.
