eCOMPONENT OUT jacks

Use these jacks to output component signals.

To connect a device equipped component video input connectors, use the COMPONENT OUT jacks on the unit. If you use the COMPONENT OUT jacks, you can output high-quality video with less signal quality deterioration than if you use the S VIDEO jacks.

You can set the output video format by using [HDMI/ CMPNT] of [VIDEO OUT] in the [IN/OUT REC] menu.

When the DISPLAY OUTPUT switch is set to ALL, text data such as time code, menu, and alarm messages are superimposed on a monitor connected using the COMPONENT OUT jacks (page 23).

Notes

•When images are output in 720p format, some of the text image data (outer frame: underscan portion) on the monitor may appear cut out. In this case, check the text image data on the LCD monitor of the unit or on a monitor using the S VIDEO OUT jack or the VIDEO OUT jack. Also, when your monitor has an underscan function, you can check all the text data on the monitor while in underscan mode.

•The setting of [HDMI/CMPNT] of [VIDEO OUT] in the [IN/OUT REC] menu is effective for both the

COMPONENT OUT jack and the HDMI OUT jack

(page 71).

•When you change the video format setting of [HDMI/ CMPNT] of [VIDEO OUT] in the [IN/OUT REC] menu, the video signal output from the S VIDEO OUT jack, VIDEO OUT jack, or HDV/DV jack may be distorted for a moment.

•When you play back a tape in DVCAM/DV format and while an EE picture in NTSC/PAL is displayed, either the 480i resolution or the 576i resolution is output, regardless of the setting of [HDMI/CMPNT] of [VIDEO OUT] in the [IN/OUT REC] menu.

•When [HDMI/CMPNT] of [VIDEO OUT] in the [IN/ OUT REC] menu is set to either [1080i/480i] or [1080i/576i], 1080/24p and 1080/30p video signals are converted to 1080/60i, 1080/25p video signals are to 1080/50i, and then output.

•When you play back an HDV-formatted tape with copyright protected signals or input HDV signals with copyright protection to the HDV/DV jack, pictures may be output in either 480i (NTSC) or 576i (PAL) format, regardless of the setting of [HDMI/CMPNT] of [VIDEO OUT] in the [IN/OUT REC] menu.

• The output level of the COMPONENT OUT jacks is as follows:

Output at 480i (NTSC)

f HDMI OUT jack

 

Use this jack to output HDMI signals. HDMI OUT jack

 

outputs both pictures and audio. To connect a device

 

equipped with HDMI input connector, use the HDMI

 

OUT jack on the unit.

 

The HDMI OUT jack outputs high-quality video with

 

even less signal deterioration in quality than the

 

COMPONENT OUT jacks.

 

You can set the output video format by using [HDMI/

 

CMPNT] of [VIDEO OUT] in the [IN/OUT REC]

 

menu.

 

Text data is superimposed on a monitor in the same way

 

as with a COMPONENT OUT jacks connection (page

 

23).
