aVIDEO IN (analog video input) connectors (BNC type)

These input composite video signals.

The two connectors form a loop-through connection; when a signal is input to the left connector, the same signal is output from the right connector () forming a bridge connection to the connected device.

When no connection is made to the right connector, the left connector is automatically terminated with an impedance of 75 ohms.

bVIDEO OUT 1, 2 (SUPER) (analog video output 1,

2 (superimpose)) connectors (BNC type) These output composite video signals.

The output from the VIDEO OUT2 (SUPER) connector can have time code, menu settings, alarm messages, and other text information superimposed.

4 Time code inputs/outputs

INOUT

aTIME CODE IN connector (BNC type)

This inputs an SMPTE time code generated by an external device.

bTIME CODE OUT connector (BNC type)

This outputs the following time code, depending on the operating state of the PDW-1500.

During playback: playback time code

During recording: the time code from the internal time code generator or the time code input to the TIME CODE IN connector.

When extended menu item 611 “TC OUTPUT PHASE IN EE MODE” is set to “muting,” no time code is output.

POWER

a-AC IN (AC power input) connector

Connect to an AC power supply, using an optional power cord (see page 147).

bPOWER (main power) switch

Press the ^ side to power on. Press the a side to power off. When using the PDW-1500, normally leave the POWER switch in the ^ (on) position, and use the on/standby switch to switch the PDW-1500 between the operating state and standby state.

Note

When you set the on/standby switch on the front panel to the 1 position, data is saved before powering off. Before turning off the main power switch, be sure to check that the on/standby switch indicator on the front panel is lit red (the PDW-1500 is in the standby state), then press this switch on the a side.

OUT 1

2 (SUPER)

aSDI IN (SDI signal input) connector (BNC type) This inputs an SDI format video/audio signal.

When you select the signal input to this connector with the VIDEO INPUT SEL button, in the status display section, the INPUT display SDI indicator lights.

bSDI OUT1/2 (SUPER) (SDI signal outputs 1, 2

(superimpose)) connectors (BNC type) These output SDI format video/audio signals.

When the unit is shipped from the factory, audio signal output is 8 channels with no switching, and RP188 time code output is set to on. You can change these settings with extended menu item 828 “SDI/DV AUDIO OUTPUT SELECT” and extended menu item 920 “SD-SDI H-ANC CONTROL.”

The output from the SDI OUT2 (SUPER) connector can have time code, menu settings, alarm messages, and other text information superimposed. To turn superimposition off, set the maintenance menu item “OTHERS”-“SDI2 SUPER” to “OFF.”

To treat the input and output signals of these connectors as non-audio signals, set the maintenance menu item “AUDIO CONFIG”-“NON-AUDIO INPUT” (recording) and extended menu item 823 “NON-AUDIO FLAG PB” (playback).
