Video signals with embedded superimposed text can be output from the VIDEO OUT2 connector. Superimposed text embedding can be selected using setup menu item No.005.

7TC IN connector

This is used for recording the external time code onto the tape.

8TC OUT connector

During playback, the playback time code is output from this connector; during recording, the time code generated by the internal time code generator is output.

9HD/SD REF VIDEO IN connectors and 75 Ω termination switch

These are the input connectors for the HD/SD reference video signals. For termination, set the switch to ON.

<Notes>

O Input a tri-level sync signal with both positive and negative polarities when using these connectors for the HD reference. Input a signal that matches the input signals or tape format.

O Input a composite video signal complying with RS-170A or a black burst signal when using these connectors for the SD reference.

:AUDIO IN connectors (CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4) These are the input connectors for the analog audio signals.

;AUDIO OUT/MONITOR connectors (CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4)

These are the output connectors for the analog audio signals.

The CH3 and CH4 connectors are also used as the audio monitor output connectors (left channel, right channel). (See page 7)

<HD SDI IN, OUT connectors
