Operation Modes

The CA-702/702P has two operation modes: an output mode and an input mode. Use the POWER/MODE switch to select the operation mode.

Output mode (ON/OUT)

•The CA-702/702P outputs the video and audio signal from the camcorder through the VTR connector or VIDEO/SDI OUT connector.

•The CA-702/702P outputs the analog component signal, analog audio signal (CH1), VBS signal, or SDI signal that is input from the VTR connector. The output of a VBS signal or SDI signal is automatically set according to the portable VTR attached to the CA- 702/702P, regardless of the SDI/COMPOSITE switch setting.

•The SDI output signal can contain up to four channels of audio.

•Recording operation on the VTR section of the camcorder and the portable VTR can be synchronized to the REC START switch on the camcorder. Synchronization/asynchronization can be specified through menu operations on the camcorder.

•Set the SDI/COMPOSITE switch to SDI to output an SDI signal from the VIDEO/SDI OUT connector.

•Pressing the RET button allows you to use the viewfinder on the camcorder as a monitor for portable VTR. This function, however, is not available when using a DNV-5 Recorder Unit.

Notes

•When a portable VTR is connected, the CA-702/702P outputs signal to the VTR connector. When a portable VTR is not connected, the CA-702/702P outputs no signal to the VTR connector.

•A composite signal is not output from the VIDEO/ SDI OUT connector of the CA-702/702P even when the SDI/COMPOSITE switch is set to COMPOSITE. To output a composite signal, use the VIDEO OUT or TEST OUT connector on the camcorder.

•The EARPHONE jack is only for monitoring the audio from the portable VTR. No signal is output when the portable VTR is not connected to the CA- 702/702P.

•A VBS signal output to the VTR connector is for monitoring purposes only, and does not meet the quality standards for broadcasting.

Input mode (ON/IN)

•In this mode, you can input an external video signal (composite or SDI) from the VIDEO/SDI IN connector for recording by the VTR section of the camcorder. An active-through video signal is output from the VIDEO/SDI OUT connector at this time.

•Set the SDI/COMPOSITE switch according to the external video signal type to be input.

•In this mode, you can monitor an externally input video on the viewfinder of the camcorder, or on a monitor connected to the VIDEO/SDI OUT or TEST OUT connector on the camcorder. EXT appears in the viewfinder during this time.

•When the SDI setting is selected, an audio signal (CH1, 2, 3, and 4) embedded in the SDI signal is recorded by the camcorder.

Notes

•The picture may become temporarily unstable to allow the camcorder to lock to the input signal in the following cases:

—When an external video signal is input. —When the operation mode is switched to input

mode.

•During input of an external signal, the composite signal output from the TEST OUT and VIDEO OUT connectors of the camcorder is for monitoring purposes only and does not meet the quality standards for broadcasting.

•The acceptable frequencies of the input video signals are limited to the range that the camcorder is able to lock to. However, if the pulse amplitude modulation of an input signal falls within broadcasting standards (NTSC: ±2.8 ppm/PAL: ±1.1 ppm), such a signal is acceptable.

•An SDI input signal cannot be used to copy an edited tape.•The input modes are not available on the DNV-5/ DVW-700/700P/700WS/700WSP.
