vVIDEO OUT connector (BNC type)

This connector outputs a composite video signal (standard level, 75-ohm terminated) for a video monitor. With a video monitor connected to this connector, you can monitor the picture being shot by the camera or the picture played back by the VTR. To choose between the composite video signal output and SDI signal output, use the menu. When synchronizing the time code of an external VTR with that of the camcorder, connect this connector to the GENLOCK IN connector of the external VTR.

By installing the CBK-SD01 extension board (not supplied), you can output an SDI signal (supporting embedded audio and the EDH function) from this connector.

For details on how to select the output signal, see “5-3-2 Selecting the Output Signals” on page 85.

wTEST OUT connector (BNC type)

This connector outputs the video signal (standard level, 75- ohm terminated) for a video monitor. The output signal can be selected from composite or RGB. The factory setting is

composite, and the setting returns to composite whenever the unit is powered on.

Depending on menu settings, menus, time code, and shot data can be superimposed on the image on the monitor.

For details on how to select the test output signal, refer to the Maintenance Manual.
