5VIDEO LEVEL control

If the composite signal input level to the VIDEO IN connector is not a 1 Vp-p signal, use a screwdriver to turn this control and adjust the input level. The range of adjustment is ±3 dB. Normally leave this control at the center detent position.

It is not possible to adjust the input level for component signals or serial digital video and audio signals.

6TC (time code) OUT connector (BNC) Connect to the time code input connector of an external device such as a time code reader or VTR. The time code output depends on the operating state of the unit, as follows:

Playback: playback time code

Recording: time code generated by the built-in time code generator. When the time code on this unit is locked to an external time code, the external time code is output.

7TC (time code) IN connector

Connect to the time code output connector of an external device such as a time code generator or VTR. Use this when locking the built-in time code generator to the external time code.

8SUPERIMPOSE switch

This selects whether or not to superimpose information about the state of the unit (PLAY, FF, etc.) and time code values on the composite video signal output from the VIDEO OUT 2 connector.

ON: Superimpose information.

OFF: Do not superimpose information.

9VIDEO OUT 1 and 2 connectors (BNC) These connectors provide analog composite video outputs. When the SUPERIMPOSE switch is in the ON position, information about the state of the unit and time code values are superimposed on the signal output from the VIDEO OUT 2 connector.

0SDI IN connector

Input serial digital video and audio signals in D1 format. When the video input selector switch is in the SDI IN position, the signals supplied to this connector form the video input to the unit.

!¡ Video input selector switch

The position of this switch determines the video input to the unit.

VIDEO IN: composite video signal input to the VIDEO IN connector

CAMERA: component video signal or serial digital video signal input to the CAMERA connector

SDI IN: serial digital video signal input to the SDI IN connector

The playback signal from this unit is synchronized to the signal selected by this switch.

!™ VIDEO IN connector (BNC)

Input an analog composite video signal. When the video input selector switch is in the VIDEO IN position, the signals supplied to this connector form the video input to the unit.
