30.DVCPRO connector

This is an output connector for video, audio, and data that comply with the IEEE1394 standard.

Notes

Power is not supplied from the unit.

Be absolutely sure to bear the following points in mind when connecting the IEEE1394 cable (DV cable).

–Ensure that the connections with other devices are made on a 1:1 basis.

–When a 1394 cable (DV cable) has been connected to the DVCPRO connector, do not apply any strong external force as this may damage the connector.

–When error code 1394 E-92 (1394 INITIAL ERROR) appears, disconnect the connecting cables and re-connect them or turn off the unit’s power and turn it back on.

–Ensure that the unit and all of the connected devices are each grounded (or connected to a common ground) before use.

If it is not possible to ground the unit and devices, turn off the power of the unit and of all the connected devices before connecting or disconnecting the IEEE1394 cable.

–When the unit is to be connected to a device equipped with a 4-pin type of connector, connect the unit’s connector (6-pin type) first.

–When connecting the unit with a PC equipped with a 6-pin type of connector, connect the 1394 cable as dictated by the shapes of the 1394 connectors. Bear in mind that inserting a plug the wrong way round may damage the unit.

<Cautions in using SD memory cards>

Use the unit by inserting an SD memory card that is compliant with the SD standard or the SDHC standard. MultiMediaCards cannot be used. (Bear in mind that recording may no longer be possible if you do use them.)

If you intend to use miniSD cards in unit, always install the adapter specially designed for miniSD cards. (The unit will not work properly if only the miniSD card adapter is installed. Make sure that the card has been installed in the adapter before using it.)

Use of Panasonic’s SD memory cards and miniSD cards is recommended. Be sure to format cards using unit.

Any SD memory card and SDHC memory card with the following capacities can be used with the unit.

8 MB, 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB,

SD memory card 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB

SDHC memory card 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB

To record proxy (optional), use an SD memory card with a capacity of 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, or 2 GB labeled “High Speed” or use an SDHC memory card.
