Advanced Professional Features

Pro-level connectivity

An industry-standard HD/SD SDI terminal (A129) for uncompressed HD signal output, embedded audio and SMPTE time code (LTC) give the camcorder the functionality of professional broadcast cameras. Genlock synchronization (A77), the TIME CODE terminal (A78, 79) and SYNC OUT terminal allow the camcorder to be part of any multi-camera shooting setup.

Customization

The camcorder features several customization options. You can assign often-used functions to assignable buttons (A99) so that you can call up those functions with the press of a single button. You can also register frequently-used menu settings in an easy-to-access personal menu (My Menu, A30). Custom functions (A110) and custom onscreen displays (A110) give you even more freedom to control many aspects of the camcorder’s operation. Save custom picture and menu settings to an SD card so that you can transfer your setting preferences to other C300 / C300 PL camcorders in order to use them in the same way.
