If a color video monitor provided with an SDI input connector is used, select SDI as the output signal of the VIDEO OUT connector and connect the camcorder to the SDI IN connector of the color video monitor.

The camera display image is output to the CBK-SD01 SDI Output Board even when playing a recorded image.

Notes

When connecting the camcorder to an external equipment using the VIDEO OUT connector or the MONITOR OUT connector, terminate the connecting cable. If the cable is not terminated, the picture will not be output from the camcorder to the external equipment.

Playing the tape on the camcorder mutes the audio signal portion of the SDI output.

You can select either VBS or SDI for the output signal of the VIDEO OUT connector, depending on the input connector used on the monitor. See 1) and 2) in the illustration above.
