Connecting External Devices

Connecting an External Monitor

To output live or playback video images and audio sound to an external monitor, select the output signals from the camera recorder, and connect using an appropriate cable according to the monitor to be used.

Connecting via SDI

Either HD-SDI or SD-SDI signals can be output from the [HD/SD-SDI] terminal (BNC) on the terminal area of the camera recorder.

●Digital video signals, together with embedded (superimposed) audio signals and time code signals, are output for both the HD-SDI and SD-SDI signals.

●User’s bit output from the [HD/SD-SDI] output terminal is used as a flag to determine valid video signals. Therefore, accurate values will not be output.

Connecting via Composite/Component Output

Either component or composite signals can be output from the BNC terminals on the terminal area of the camera recorder. Connect the external monitor to the [Y/VIDEO] output terminal for composite signals, or to [Y/VIDEO], [PB], and [PR] video signal output terminals for component signals.

*Select the output signal using [Output Terminal] in the [A/V Out] menu. (A Page 92)

*To display menu screens or status screens on the external monitor, set [Analog Out Char.] in the [A/V Out] menu to AOnB. (A Page 92)

Settings for Composite Output

1 Down convert the signals.

You can select the method to Adown convertB HD video images to SD images during composite output.

Set using [Down Convert] in the [A/V Out] menu.

The available modes include ASide CutB, ALetter BoxB (blackened at the top and bottom), and ASqueezeB (full size, compressed at the left and right). (A Page 92)

Memo :

●When [System Definition] in the [Record Format] menu is set to ASD (DV)B, selection cannot be made. (A Page 75)

2 Add setup signals.

Setup signals can be added to the output video signals during composite output.

*You can select whether to add setup signals using [Set Up] in the [A/V Out] menu. (A Page 92)

Memo :

●The sampling frequency for embedded (superimposed) audio signals is 48 kHz. Time code of the built-in time generator as well as playback time code are also output.

*Select the output signal using [HD/SD-SDI Out] in the [A/V Out] menu. (A Page 92)

*When [System Definition] in the [Record Format] menu is set to ASD (DV)B, only SD-SDI signals are output.

(A Page 75)

*To display menu screens or status screens on the external monitor, set [SDI Out Char.] in the [A/V Out] menu to AOnB. (A Page 92)
