Connections to the DVCPRO/DV connector

Recording signals input to the DVCPRO/DV connector

1 Connect a 1394 cable (DV cable).

•“Precautions in 1394 connections” (Page 107)

•Make sure that the signal format of the camera-recorder and the connected device is the same.

2 To route inputs via the IEEE1394 interface, set the menu option REC SIGNAL in the SYSTEM SETUP screen to 1394.

•To use HD (1080i, 720P) set the menu option REC FORMAT in the SYSTEM SETUP screen to DVCPRO HD/60i (DVCPRO HD/50i) or DVCPRO HD/60P (DVCPRO HD/50P).

The AVC-Intra format and DVCPRO HD native recording do not allow input via the IEEE1394 interface.

3 Check that video from the IEEE 1394 interface is displayed in the viewfinder or LCD monitor, and press the START/STOP button to begin recording.

4 Press the START/STOP button again to stop recording.

•Signals that have the same format as that set in the menu options SYSTEM MODE and REC FORMAT in the SYSTEM SETUP screen should be input to the IEEE1394 interface. A signal in a different format will not be correctly recorded on a P2 card. Video and audio recording and EE type video and audio of signal inputs other than 1x speed playback signals may not work.

··“Errors and warnings” (Page 126)

•Audio signal inputs are input signals from the DVCPRO/DV connector.

•32 kHz/4CH (12 bit) audio signals input via the IEEE1394 interface are recorded as 48 kHz/4CH (16 bit) on a P2 card.

•It is not possible to use the GENLOCK IN connector to synchronize to an external reference signal.

•Signals output from the VIDEO OUT or AUDIO OUT connectors differ from actual input signals. Use such signals for monitoring.

•The following functions do not operate.

··Pre-recording function

··Loop recording function

··Interval recording and one-shot recording function

··One-clip recording function

•As well as those displayed in blue, there are other items on the setting menu for which the setting value cannot be changed. However, this is not a fault and these items are not related to this function.

Time Code and User Bits

•When input from the IEEE1394 interface is selected, the time code and user’s bit input from TC IN/OUT cannot be recorded on P2 card.

•When input from the IEEE1394 interface is selected, the time code output from TC IN/OUT is not synchronized with the video signal output from the VIDEO OUT terminal.
