TC OUT connector: Connects to the time code input connector on the external devices such as a time code reader or a VCR.

The unit outputs the following time codes depending on the operating state:

Playing: The time code on the tape is output.

Recording: Either the time code generated by the internal time code generator or the time code signals from the external device are output.

For details, see “DSR-50/50P time codes” on page 62 (GB).

Note

If the JOG TC OUT on the TC/UB SET menu has been set to ON, the time code is output during search mode, but the output time code is not a continuous one.

4DV IN/OUT connector (6-pin)

Used to input/output the digital signal with a locking mechanism that complies with the i.LINK standard (Recommended cable: CCFD-3L, CCF-3L). If you have an external device that has a DV connector, you can connect that device to this connector to record or duplicate a tape or capture pictures. The digital signals for the sound or pictures captured through this connector have almost no degradation. For details, refer to the instruction manual of the external device.

Notes

•The DV/IN OUT connector of this unit is a 6-pin connector but does not provide power to any connected external device. You can also use a 6-pin connector without a locking mechanism.

•If video signals have been input to the DV IN/OUT connector and you output these video signals to the VIDEO OUT1, VIDEO OUT2, or S VIDEO OUT connectors, the sync and burst of the EE pictures are not synchronized.

•i.LINK and the i.LINK logo “ ” are trademarks and indicate that this product is in agreement with IEEE 1394-1995 specifications and their revisions.

5BREAKER button

If excessive current flows inside the unit, the breaker is activated, and the power to the unit is shut down. If this button is activated and pushed out, check the unit and the camera connected to the CAMERA connector to make sure they are not malfunctioning. If they appear to be functioning properly, press this button. If there are no problems, power will be supplied again.

6DC IN 12V connector (XLR 4-pin/Male)Used to supply the unit with DC power.

If you have installed a battery pack in the battery compartment, whichever power source is providing the higher voltage provides the power to the unit.

Notes

•The DC power source must be 12 V to 17 V/2.0 A (peak: 4.0 A) or higher.

•If you have connected an AC adaptor to this connector and the battery voltage is higher than the

AC power, the battery power is used first.

For details on the DC IN 12V connector, see “Power Preparations” on page 31 (GB).

7CAMERA connector (26-pin)

Connects to a camera (not supplied). The unit can supply power to the external camera with this connector.

Note

If you have installed a small capacity battery pack such as a BP-L40(A) and supplied power to an external camera connected from the CAMERA connector, the operation time with the battery pack might be significantly reduced when the camera power consumption is too high. Use a large capacity battery pack or obtain power for the camera from a separate power source.

For details on how to record images using the CAMERA connector, see “Recording” on page 45 (GB).
