Compression schemes

The recording compression defines the type of compression that is used to record the video
signal. The available compression schemes and bit rates depend on the recording video
standard that has been selected.
* only available when the optional DMC1120 MPEG2 board is installed.

7. 1. 1 Recording from external inputs

To record from an external video signal make sure the video standard and type (SDI or CVBS)
match the provided signal. The external video signal is displayed both in the viewfinder and on
the side panel display.
Note
When the camcorder settings do not match the external signal a message is shown
(“Incompatible video standard”).
Note
When CVBS is selected as a video source make sure that the analog input is set to CVBS in the
SYSTEM/HARDWARE/PORTS/ANALOG INPUT
menu.
