9[AUDIO OUTPUT CH-1/CH-2] Audio output connector
(RCA)
Output connector for audio signals.
• Outputs the input audio signal in the Camera mode.
• Outputs the playback audio signal in the VTR mode.
• When a HDV/DV signal (IEEE1394) is input, the EE
sound of the input audio signal is output in the VTR
mode.
MEMO
Alarm sound is not output.
0[IEEE1394] IEEE1394 connector (6-pin)
Using an IEEE1394 cable (optional), a digital video com-
ponent with IEEE1394 connector can be connected here.
XSee“Connecting the IEEE1394 Cable” on page 64.
XSee“HDV/DV Dubbing” on page 68.
CAUTION
When connecting the IEEE1394 cable, confirm that the
connector is facing the right direction before inserting.
XSeepage 64.
MEMO
Put the covers on the connectors when you are not using
them.
INPUT1 :Inputs the audio from the INPUT1 connector
4 into CH-2.
INPUT2 :Inputs the audio from the INPUT2 connector
4 into CH-2.
LINE :Set to this position when connected to audio
equipment, etc. The reference input level is
+4 dBs.
MIC : Set to this position when the dynamic micro-
phone is connected.
MIC+48V : Set to this position when a microphone
requiring +48 V power supply (phantom
microphone, etc.) is connected.

a[STUDIO] Studio terminal (Round 10-pin)
Connect the studio cable from the KA-HD250 Studio Kit
(sold separately). Connect the KA-HD250 to use this
device as a studio camera.
For details, refer to the KA-HD250 INSTRUCTION MAN-
UAL.
b[DC INPUT] DC input terminal (XLR 4-pin)
This is the 12V DC power input terminal. Connect to the
AC adapter.
When a battery is installed and a cable is connected to this
terminal, power supply from the battery stops and power is
supplied by this terminal.
c[GENLOCK/AUX IN] GENLOCK/AUX IN switch
Set according to the signal input in the [GENLOCK/AUX
IN] terminal.
GENLOCK :Set to this when inputting external synch roni-
zation signals.
AUX IN : Set to this when inputting composite video
signals from an external device.
MEMO
If no signals are input to the [AUX IN] terminal and this
switch is set to AUX IN, the monitor turns black and video is
not output from any terminal.
d[PBPR/TC] PBPR/Time code switch
Set according to the [PB/TC IN] and [PR/TC OUT] terminal
signals.
PBPR:Set to this when outputting component PB signals
from the [PB/TC IN] terminal and outputting com-
ponent PR signals from the [PR/TC OUT] terminal.
TC : Set to this when inputting LTC time code from the
[PB/TC IN] terminal and outputting the built-in time
code generator from the [PR/TC OUT] terminal.
MEMO
When this switch is set to TC, video is not output from the
Y/PB/PR terminal (ijk).
e[IEEE1394] IEEE1394 switch
Set according to the image format of the input/output sig-
nal and playback signal of the IEEE1394 terminal.
HDV : Set to this for HDV format.
DV :Set to this for DV format.
f[REMOTE] REMOTE terminal (Round 6-pin)
Some functions of this camera can be controlled exter-
nally.
Connect to a remote control unit (RM-LP55/RM-LP57).

d is set to PBPR.
j[PB/TC IN] Component PB signal output/time code
input terminal (BNC)
• Outputs PB signal of component when the [PBPR/TC]
switch d is set to PBPR.
• Inputs time code when the [PBPR/TC] switch d is set to
TC. Enter the LTC time code to slave lock this device’s
time code generator with an external time code genera-
tor.
MEMO
Set TCG SOURCE on the TC/UB/CLOCK Menu screen to
EXTERNAL to input external time codes.
