Location and Function of Parts

3TC IN (time code input) connector (BNC) Input an external signal for synchronizing the built-in time code generator. Use an SMPTE (DSR-390/ 570WS) or EBU (DSR-390P/570WSP) time code signal.

Note

Use a jitterless LTC signal. Using an LTC signal reproduced by other equipment may cause the camcorder to malfunction.

4TC OUT (time code output) connector (BNC) This outputs time code signals from the built-in time code generator. When a time code signal is input to the TC IN connector, this output signal is synchronized to it.

For details about time code, see “Setting the Time code Value” on page 73.

5S VIDEO OUT (S-video output) connector (DIN 4-pin)

This outputs the image being shot or played back as S- video signals. Connect to the S-video input connector on an external VCR or video monitor.

6MONITOR OUT (output) connector Outputs the image being shot or played back as composite video signals. Connect to the video input connector on an external VCR or video monitor.

Note

The output signal from this connector may discontinue when switching the operation between recording and playback. Do not use as a reference signal for external equipment.

7AUDIO OUT CH-1/CH-2 (audio output channel 1 and 2) connectors (phono jacks)

These output the sound being recorded or played back. Connect to a stereo amplifier or video monitor’s audio input connectors.
