Connecting External Devices

IEEE1394 Connection (continued)

Backup Recording

When the camera recorder is set to Camera mode, images shot using it can be stream output from the IEEE1394 terminal.

According to the recording operation on the camera recorder, recording to the camera recorder and external device may be performed synchronously or separately.

1 Connect the camera recorder to the backup device.

Connect the camera recorder to the backup device using an IEEE1394 cable, using the camera recorder as the master device.

2 Set the camera recorder to Camera mode.

3 Set the recording video format.

Note :

Make sure that the SP mode is selected for the [Frame & Bit Rate] setting.

4 Perform the following settings on the camera recorder (master device).

ASet the [HD/DV] IEEE1394 terminal mode switch.

During backup in the DV format

[HD]

:

During backup in the HD format

BSet the [INT/EXT] IEEE1394 interface terminal switch to

CSwitch to Camera mode.

DSpecify how recording to the camera recorder and external device is to be performed with the recording operation on the camera recorder using [1394 Rec Trigger] in the [Others] menu. (A Page 88)

5 Set the external device to a mode that enables

recording.

For setting and operation of external devices, refer to the instruction manual of the respective devices.

Note :

Adjust the camera recorder and external device to the same IEEE1394 settings.

Start recording only after ensuring that the devices are properly connected.

6 Perform recording using the camera recorder.

If the settings in 3 are appropriate, video images will be recorded to the camera recorder and external device.

Note :

Images, audio and time code at the points where recording starts and ends may be out of sync depending on the camera recorder and backup device in use.

Memo :

When backup recording starts, a ATRIGGER TO DVB or

ATRIGGER TO HDB message appears on the LCD monitor and viewfinder for about 3 seconds.

Checking Videos Recorded on theExternal Device

(IEEE1394 Input mode of Media mode)

When images are displayed in thumbnails in Media mode (SD Card mode) and power of the device connected to the [IEEE1394] terminal is turned on, pressing the [CAM/MEDIA] selection button displays the playback images of the connected device on the LCD monitor and viewfinder. Pressing the same button has no effect if the [IEEE1394] connection is not recognized, such as when the power of the device connected to the [IEEE1394] terminal is turned off. The status display of this mode is as shown below. Refer to [Status Screen in 1394 Mode] (A Page 98 ) for the status display of this mode.

1 Press the [CAM/MEDIA] button to set to the IEEE1394 Input mode.

2 Set the external device to the playback mode.

Video images recorded on the external device are displayed on the LCD monitor and viewfinder.

Note :

This mode is used for viewing images input to the [IEEE1394] terminal from an external device, and not intended for recording input images on the camera recorder.
