Connections to the DVCPRO/DV Connector

Recording signals input to theDVCPRO/DV connector

1 Connect a 1394 cable (DV cable).

For details, see [Precautions in 1394 Connections] (page 156).

• Make sure that the signal format of the camera 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.

NOTE

•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.

For details, see [Warning and Error Display for Thumbnail Operation and USB HOST MODE] (page 163).

•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

Time Code and User Bits

•When input from the IEEE1394 interface is selected, the time code or user bits input to the TC IN connector cannot be recorded on a P2 card.

•When input from the IEEE1394 interface is selected, time code output from the TC OUT connector is not synchronized to the video signal output from the VIDEO OUT connector.

Subcode area time codes and user bits

•When input from the IEEE1394 interface is selected and the TCG switch is set to F-RUN, the time code of the subcode area input from the DVCPRO/DV connector can be recorded on the P2 card.

•To record user bits input from the DVCPRO/DV connector on a P2 card, set the menu option UB MODE in RECORDING SETUP to EXT.

VAUX area time codes and user bits

When input from the IEEE1394 interface is selected, time code and user bits of the VAUX area input from the DVCPRO/DV connector is recorded on a P2 card regardless of camera menu settings and switch positions.

Recording UMID (Unique Material Identifier) data

When input from the IEEE1394 interface is selected, UMID data input via the DVCPRO/DV connector is recorded on a P2 card. When no UMID data is available, the camera generates and records such data.

UMID data is not recorded when the camera is operating in the DV mode.
