1S VIDEO jacks

To connect a device equipped with S video jack, use S VIDEO jacks on the unit.

If you use S VIDEO jacks, you can input/output high- quality video with less signals deterioration in quality than the one connected to the standard VIDEO jack.

When DISPLAY OUTPUT switch is set to S VIDEO/ VIDEO or ALL, text data such as the time code, menus, and alarm messages are superimposed on an external monitor connected to S VIDEO jack (page 25).

For details on the output of S VIDEO jack, see “Notes on all video output jacks” (page 22).
