7.DC IN socket

Connect a 12 V DC power supply here. Use an external 12 V DC, 4.8 A (15 A peak or more) DC power supply. When the voltage goes below approx. 10.6 V, the power supply of this unit shuts down (when menu No.

180BATTERY SEL is not “TYPE-A” or “TYPE-B”). The unit does not automatically recover when the power comes back on. First turn the POWER switch off, wait a few seconds before turning the switch back on.

Pin No.

Be sure to check the rating of any external DC power supply you intend to use to confirm that it is compatible with this unit. Also check the pin arrangement of the DC OUT socket of an external DC power supply with the DC IN socket of this unit to make sure the polarity is right.

Erroneously applying +12 V to the GND terminal could cause a fire or lead to injuries.

Connecting a cord with incorrect polarity to the DC IN connector of another device that is also connected to this unit could lead to fire or injury.

◆NOTE:

•When using an external DC power supply, be sure to first turn on the power to the DC power supply and then turn on the POWER switch on this unit. If the order of the above procedure is reversed, this unit will malfunction since the voltage of an external DC power supply rises slowly.

•Inadvertently connecting an input of 18 V or more triggers an internal protection circuit that shuts down the unit. The unit will operate normally once the power voltage returns to normal levels. Be sure not to connect an AC power supply to this socket.

•When the external DC power supply is connected and set to on, a minute amount of current will still flow even if the POWER switch on this unit is set to OFF.

8.Remote control connector

This unit can be connected to an external controller to enable remote operation of the unit.

9. TIME CODE OUT connector

Outputs the playback time code during playback. Outputs the time code generated by the internal time code generator during recording.

◆NOTE:

The TIMECODE OUT connector does not output a time code when 23.98, 24, 29.97, 59-23, 60-24, 25 or 60-25 is set in setup menu No. 25 SYSTEM FREQ.

10.TIME CODE IN connector

Use to record an external time code onto P2 cards.

◆NOTE:

The time code from the TIMECODE IN connector cannot be input when 23.98, 24, 29.97, 59-23, 60-24, 25 or 60-25 is set in setup menu No. 25 SYSTEM FREQ.

11.REF VIDEO IN connectors

Input connectors for HD and SD reference video signals.

◆NOTE:

•It is recommended that this unit be used with a system that inputs a reference video signal since video and audio output signals may otherwise deteriorate.

•Input tri-level sync signals with both positive and negative polarities as HD reference video signals. Input signals that meet the input signal and data format.

➝For information on the reference signal, refer to

“Example of connections in 23.98/24/29.97/25 Hz

mode” (page 38).

•Input a black burst signal that complies with SMPTE170M and ITU624-4 to use for SD reference video signals.
