TEST OUT (test output) connector (BNC type)

This connector outputs the video signal (standard level, 75-ohm terminated) for the video monitor. The output signal can be selected to be a composite, R, G, or B. The factory setting is composite, and the setting returns to composite whenever the power is switched on. Depending on the internal board and setup menu settings, the setup menu, the time code and the shot data can be displayed over the image on the monitor. As for the VIDEO OUT connector, you can use this connector for synchronizing the time code of an external VTR to the time code of the camcorder.

For information about the setting for test output, see Section 4-9-3 “Selecting the

Test Output” (page 4-80).
