ASPECT*

Sets the screen size for the recording video signal. (Can only be displayed and set in camera mode)

 

 

4:3

: Outputs the video with an aspect ratio of 4:3.

 

 

 

16:9

: Outputs the video with an aspect ratio of 16:9.

 

 

 

 

 

The resolution in the vertical direction drops compared to 4:3 video.

 

 

 

 

MEMO

 

 

 

 

 

• When the format setting is HDV, the ASPECT item is fixed at 16:9. (“[16:9]” is displayed.)

 

 

 

 

• The synchronous video signal is momentarily disturbed when the ASPECT item setting is switched.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HDV PB OUTPUT

When playing back an HDV recorded tape, set video format for component output from the Y/PB/PR terminal or SDI

 

 

output from the HD/SD-SDI output terminal.

 

 

 

You can set the following depending on the FRAME RATE of the HDV recorded tape.

MEMO

 

 

 

 

 

• If you convert video recorded in HDV format to DV format and output it, the colors may change.

 

 

 

• This item is also applied to EE images when HDV signals are input to the IEEE1394 terminal.

 

 

 

• Fixed at NATIVE during DV recorded tape playback or DV signal input.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DOWN CON. [HDV]

Set the style to display down-converted images in aspect ratio 4:3.

 

 

 

SQUEEZE

: Image that is squeezed horizontally is displayed.

 

 

 

LETTER

: Wide image with the top and bottom blackened is displayed.

 

 

 

 

MEMO

 

 

 

 

 

This setting is only valid in HDV mode.

 

 

 

 

In DV mode, the style becomes SQUEEZE regardless of the setting of this item.

Function/Setting (bold characters indicate initial settings)

 

PB TAPE

Selects whether to automatically detect the playback tape video format or play back only a particular format.

 

 

Normally, use the “AUTO” setting.

 

 

AUTO

: During tape playback, the format signal is switched automatically and played back.

 

 

DV

: During tape playback, only the part of the tape recorded in DV format is played back.

 

 

HDV

: During tape playback, only the part of the tape recorded in HDV format is played back.

 

 

DVCAM

: During tape playback, only the part of the tape recorded in DVCAM format is played back.

 

 

MEMO

 

 

 

If you play back a tape containing both DV and HDV formats, the video signal is disturbed when the signal is

 

 

switched.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HD/SD-SDI OUT

Sets whether or not to output SDI (Serial Digital Interface) signals from the HD/SD SDI OUT terminal.

 

 

OFF

: No output.

 

 

ON

: Output on. Embedded audio and time code are also output.

 

OUTPUT TERM. [DV]

Sets the output image format for the Y/PB/PR terminal in DV format.

 

 

Y/PB/PR

: Outputs analog component signals.

 

 

RGB

: Outputs analog RGB signals.

 

 

Y/C

: Outputs YC separate signals.

 

 

Signals are output from terminals as shown in the table below depending on the settings.

MEMO

 

 

 

SYNC signals are added to all channels for RGB signals.

In HDV format, signals are output in analog component format regardless of these settings.

SET UP

Selects whether to add a setup signal to the video signal output from the video signal output connector.

 

In DV format, a setup signal can be added to COMPONENT output and Y/C output.

 

(When Y/PB/PR or Y/C is set for OUTPUT TERM [DV])

 

* You can also select a setup signal in the IEEE1394 signal input mode.

 

0.0%

: No setup signal is added.

 

7.5%

: A setup signal is added.

 

Initial settings: U model: 7.5% E model: 0.0%

MEMO

When recording composite video signals from an external device, set this item according to whether the input signals include a setup signal.
