aVIDEO IN connectors (BNC type)

There are the following VIDEO IN connectors for inputting analog video signals:

•Y/S-Y/CPST (loop-through connectors)

•R-Y/S-C

•B-Y

The signals input to these connectors depend on the selection made with the VIDEO button in the video/ audio input selection section. The selection is indicated in the video area of the input signal display.

The analog video signals that can be input to these connectors are as follows.

• When COMPOSITE is selected:

Connectors

Input signal

Y/S-Y/CPST

Composite signal

 

 

R-Y/S-C

not usable

 

 

B-Y

not usable

 

 

The two Y/S-Y/CPST connectors are loop-through connectors. When using the signal input to the left Y/S-Y/ CPST connector as a composite video signal, for example, you can bridge-connect the signal to other equipment via

the right Y/S-Y/CPST connector (marked ). When no connection is made to the right Y/S-Y/CPST connector, the left Y/S-Y/CPST connector is terminated with an impedance of 75 Ω automatically.

• When S VIDEO is selected:

R-Y/S-C

C signal (3.58 MHz)

 

 

B-Y

bAUDIO IN 1/3, 2/4 connectors (XLR 3-pin, female) Use these connectors to input analog audio signals from an external video cassette player or other audio equipment.

The signals input to these connectors are recorded on the audio channels determined by the current audio recording mode, as follows.

• When in 2 CH (48 kHz) mode:

Connectors

Audio channels on which input

 

signals are recorded

AUDIO IN 1/3

Audio channel 1

 

 

AUDIO IN 2/4

Audio channel 2

 

 

• When in 4 CH (32 kHz) mode:

Connectors

Audio channels on which input

 

signals are recorded

AUDIO IN 1/3

Audio channels 1 and 3

 

 

AUDIO IN 2/4

Audio channels 2 and 4

 

 

You can switch the audio recording mode with the REC MODE menu item (see page 81).
