1COLOR FRAME switch

This selects whether or not to enable color framing during editing or playback.

ON: Enable color framing. Playback is always in units of four (NTSC) or eight (PAL) fields.

OFF: Disable color framing. Playback is in units of two fields.

2CONFI (confidence) switch

This selects the mode for monitoring during recording. Note that this switch applies to both video and audio.

ON: Monitor the simultaneously playback of the recorded signals from the confidence heads.

ECC (Error Correcting Codes): Monitor the input signals unchanged (in E-E mode). If a serious error is detected while recording the signals, a warning indication is given.

OFF: Monitor the input signals unchanged (in E-E mode). The RF envelope is monitored during recording, and if a fault occurs a warning indication is given.

The ON setting results in the highest power consumption, and the OFF setting the lowest. When using the unit with a battery pack, set the CONFI switch to the ECC or OFF position.

3SDI (Serial Digital Interface) OUT connector (BNC)

This outputs serial digital video and audio signals in D1 format.

It is possible to switch this output on or off using item “SDI OUT” in the <VIDEO 2> menu (see page 6-3).

4CAMERA connector (26-pin)

Connect this to the multi-pin connector on the camera. This interface carries video, audio and control signals between the camera and the unit, and also supplies power to the camera.

When the video input selector switch is in the CAMERA position, the signals supplied to this connector form the video input to the unit. When item “CAMERA” in the <VIDEO 1> menu is set to “AUTO” (see page 6-3), it is possible to input either analog component video signals or D1 format serial digital video and audio signals, depending on the type of camera connected.

Note

When using other than a Sony camera, do not use the “AUTO” setting: select “ANA” or “DIGI” as required.
