Video Signal Output Standards

The standard of the video signal output from the HD/SD SDI ( only), HD/SD COMPONENT OUT and HDV/DV terminals depends on the standard used for recording (or the standard of the recording on the tape being played back) and on various menu settings. Video output from the VIEWFINDER COMPONENT OUT, A/V1, or VIDEO 2 terminal will always be in 480/60i standard.

Standard of Video Output while Recording

While recording in high definition, video output from the HD/SD SDI terminal will be an uncompressed HD, YPbPr signal. You can down-convert the video output with the respective menu settings.
