1)The ASPECT MASK item is for processing the signal to be output to the viewfinder. When R, G, or B is selected for the TEST OUT SELECT item from the menu, the same video signal is output to the viewfinder and the TEST OUT connector. Thus, when the ASPECT MASK (4:3) item is set to “ON” with R/G/B selected, the masked video signal is output to the TEST OUT connector.
