Selecting recording signals

The camera can record HD (1080P, 1080i) signals in the combined format of AVC‑Intra, AVC‑LongG, DVCPRO HD codecs, and can record SD (480i/576i) signals in the combined format of DVCPRO50, DVCPRO, DV codecs respectively.

Recording and shooting signals can be selected in the main menu → [SYSTEM] → [SYSTEM MODE].

Setting menu screen	Setting menu item	Description of settings
	[LINE&FREQ]	Select the 1080P/1080i/480i/576i signal format.
		If this setting has been changed, select [YES] on a confirmation message and restart the camera.
	[REC FORMAT]	Select the codec of AVC‑Intra, AVC‑LongG, or DVCPRO HD in the HD mode, and select the codec
		of DVCPRO50, DVCPRO and DV in the SD mode.
[SYSTEM MODE]		Select the number of audio bits ([24BIT] or [16BIT]) when [REC FORMAT] is [AVC‑I100] or
	[AUDIO SMPL RES]	[AVC‑I50].
		At [REC FORMAT] other than these, recording is performed at the number of audio bits fixed to 24
		bits or 16 bits. For details, refer to “System modes and recording functions” (page 47).
	[REC SIGNAL]	Switch [CAM], recording of camera shooting with the camera, and [SDI], input recording from the
		<SDI IN> terminal.
	[ASPECT]	In the SD mode, select the video aspect ratio for recording and output.

@@NOTE

tt When [LINE&FREQ], [REC SIGNAL], or [REC FORMAT] is changed, video or audio may be interrupted. This is not a malfunction.
