Connection through the DVCPRO/DV connector

Records of signals input to the DVCPRO/DV connector

1 Refer to [32.DVCPRO/DV connector] (page 21) to connect the 1394 cable (DV cable).

Ensure that the signal format of the target device agrees with that of the camera-recorder.

2 Open the <1394 SETTING> on the SYSTEM SETTING page and confirm that the settings in the 1394 IN CH item and the 1394 OUT CH item are set to “AUTO”.

3 In case of input from the IEEE1394 interface, set REC SIGNAL to “1394”.

The REC SIGNAL option must be selected from the <SYSTEM MODE> menu on the SYSTEM SETTING page.

zThe following functions are not available. PRE-RECORDING function

Loop recording function Interval recording function Proxy recording function

Time code and user bits

zWhen input from the IEEE1394 interface is being received, the time code and/or the user bits input from the TC IN connector cannot be recorded on the P2 card.

zWhen input from the IEEE1394 interface is being received, the time code output from TC OUT will not be synchronized with the images output from the MON OUT connector.

‹Notes

zWhen the AVC-Intra (optional) format is selected and data are recorded in DVCPRO HD Native mode, it is impossible to input/output data from the DVCPRO/DV connector.

zWhen INTERVAL REC is operated, it is impossible to input/output data from the DVCPRO/DV connector.

zWhen no device is connected to the DVCPRO/DV connector or no signal is being input to the connector, the display window indicates “1394E-90” in the counter section. Input the same signals to the IEEE1394 interface as the format set in SYSTEM MODE and REC MODE in the setting menu. If a different format is used, signals are not properly recorded on P2 cards. When playback signals other than regulara1 (normal speed) playback signals have been input, no guarantees are made for the video and sound recorded or for the video and sound of the EE system. For information about the error codes, see [1394 Error Codes] (page 148).

zThe audio signal input will consist of an input signal from the IEEE1394 interface.

zWhen the audio signal input from the IEEE1394 interface is 32 kHz/4CH (12 bits), it is recorded as 48 kHz/4CH (16 bits) on the P2 card.

zIt is not possible to use the GENLOCK IN connector to achieve synchronization with the external reference signal.

zIn SD mode, the thumbnail button is prerssed, thumbnail screen are output to the viewfinder and the MON OUT and VIDEO OUT connectors.

zThe signals which are output from the VIDEO OUT connector, MON OUT connector or AUDIO OUT connector differ from the actual input signals. Use them for monitoring purposes.

zThe condition indicator character is not shown in the viewfinder screen and the output images.

Timecode and user bits in the subcode (SBC) area

zWhen input from the IEEE1394 interface is being received, the timecode in the SBC area, which is input from the DVCPRO/DV connector, is recorded on the P2 card by turning the TCG switch to the “F-RUN” position and it will also be output from the TC OUT connector of camera-recorder.

zBy turning the TCG switch into the “R-RUN” position, the timecode in the SBC area will be recorded on the P2 card in accordance with the timecode of the clip recorded on the P2 card.

zWhen recording the user bits input from the DVCPRO/ DV connector on the P2 card, open the <TC/UB> screen on the MAIN OPEATION page from the menu and select the “EXT” at UB MODE.

Timecode and user bits in the VAUX area

zWhen the input from the IEEE1394 interface is being received, regardless of the menu setting and/or the switch position on camera-recorder, the timecode and the user bits in the VAUX area input from the DVCPRO/ DV connector are always recorded on the P2 card.

Recording of UMID (Unique Material Identifier) information

zWhen the input from the IEEE1394 interface is being received, the UMID information input from the DVCPRO/ DV connector will be recorded on the P2 card. If there is no UMID information, it will be generated in the unit and recorded.

UMID information is not added when the unit is operated in DV mode or when playing back DVCPRO HD clips recorded in Native mode.
