Chapter 2 Parts and their Functions (continued)

VIDEO OUT OUTPUT SEL switch

Used to switch the signals output from the VIDEO OUT connector.

MEM: In EE (recording) mode, video from the camera is output. In VV (playback) mode, playback signal from a P2 card is output.

CAM: Video from the camera is output constantly.

OFF: Video is not output. The camera-recorder operates in power-saving mode.

Note that the audio output is synchronised with the video.

For types of video outputs, see [4-9-2 Selecting Video Output Signals].

<Notes>

zDuring recording, this switch does not switch output signals before stopping the recording operation.

zEven if this switch is set to “CAM”, if “VIDEO” or “1394” is selected for REC SIGNAL the AJ-SPC700P performs the operation when “MEM” is selected. The menu option REC SIGNAL is found in the SYSTEM MODE screen on the SYSTEM SETTING page.

FF (fast forward) button and lamp

During pause, this button is used to perform fast playback with the lamp blinking.

During playback, it performs an approximately 4C fast playback with the PLAY and FF lamps blinking.

If this button is pressed when playback is paused, the start of the next clip is located in pause mode.
