:SDI switch

This is used to select the video and audio signals which are to be output from the HD SDI OUT connector and the audio signals which are to be output from the AUDIO OUT connectors.

EE/PB : During playback, the playback video and playback audio signals are output; in all other modes, the EE video and EE audio signals are output.

EE : The EE video and EE audio signals are output at all times.

OFF : Signal output is stopped. (This serves effectively as a power-conserving mode.)

<Notes>

O With the settings at shipment, this function does not work at the OFF position when a cable is connected to the HD SDI OUT connector. For further details, refer to the FUNCTION screen (page 112) of the VTR menu.

During recording, the HD SDI OUT output signals cannot be switched from ON to OFF or vice versa. The status set prior to the commencement of recording is maintained.

O When the frame frequency has been set to 60.00 Hz, the audio signals which are output from the HD SDI OUT connector can be controlled on the MIC AUDIO screen of VTR MENU.

However, it should be borne in mind that some products may not be able to process properly the audio signals which are output from the HD SDI OUT connector at this 60.00 Hz frequency setting.

For details, consult your dealer.

;CHARACTER switch

This controls whether the characters are to be superimposed onto the pictures which are output from the HD SDI OUT connector.

ON : The characters are superimposed.

OFF: The characters are not superimposed.

<VTR START button

When this is pressed, recording starts; when it is pressed again, recording stops.

This button functions in the same way as the lens VTR button.

=VTR SAVE/STBY (tape protection) switch

This is used to select the power supply mode when the VTR has temporarily stopped recording (REC PAUSE mode).

SAVE: This is the tape protection mode. The cylinder is stopped in the half-loading status. Less power is consumed than at the STBY position, and the operating time provided by the battery is prolonged. Compared with the STBY position, it takes longer for recording to commence after the VTR START button < has been pressed.

When the switch is set to this position, the VTR SAVE lamp inside the viewfinder lights.

STBY : At this position, recording is commenced as soon as the VTR START button is pressed.

<Note>

When the prescribed amount of time has elapsed in the STBY mode, the unit is automatically set to the SAVE mode. To return the unit to the STBY mode, set the VTR SAVE/STBY switch to SAVE, and then again to the STBY position.
