Connecting to an External Monitor

If you selected [HD-Y] (HD component video, luminance signal), no more settings are necessary. If you selected [Composite] (SD analog composite signal), you can select the SD resizing method with the following procedure.

If necessary, adjust the scan mode with the [ 4K/2K/MXF Setup] (in mode) or [¢Video Setup] (in

148 mode) >[SYNC OUT] >[Scan Mode] setting. You can adjust the scan mode only when [¤ TC/UB Setup] >[Time Code] >[24P TC/Sync] is set to [Normal] and the recording mode is set to RAW, 12-bit or 10-bit.

NOTES

When you play back a clip on a monitor with a 4:3 aspect ratio, the monitor will switch automatically to widescreen mode if it is compatible with the Video ID-1 or WSS system.

If necessary, you can superimpose the onscreen displays on the video displayed on the external monitor (A149).

Selecting the Resizing Method for SD Video

When HD video with a 16:9 aspect ratio is converted and output from the HD/SD SDI terminal, HDMI OUT terminal and SYNC OUT terminal as SD video with a 4:3 aspect ratio, you can choose how it appears on the external monitor.

Operating modes:

1 Open the [Resize SD Output] submenu.

[ 4K/2K/MXF Setup] (in mode) or [¢Video Setup] (in mode) >[HD/SD Output] >[Resize SD utput]

2 Select the desired option and then press SET.
