wVIDEO OUT connector (BNC type)

This connector outputs a composite video signal 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 VDR. To choose between the composite video signal output and SDI signal output, use the menu. When synchronizing the time code of an external VDR with that of the camcorder, connect this connector to the GENLOCK IN connector of the external VDR.

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 7-3-2 “Selecting the Output Signals” on page 131.

xREMOTE connector (8-pin)

Connect the RM-B150/B750 Remote Control Unit, which makes it possible to control the VDR and camera remotely.

yGENLOCK IN connector (BNC type)

•This connector inputs a reference signal when the camera is to be genlocked or when time code is to be synchronized with external equipment. Use the MAINTENANCE menu to adjust the genlock H-phase (phase of horizontal sync signal) and the sub-carrier phase.

For details, refer to the Maintenance Manual.

•This connector also inputs a return video signal. You can display the return video signal in the viewfinder screen while holding the RET button down with “RETURN VIDEO” set to “ON” on the GENLOCK page of the OPERATION menu.

•This connector also inputs an external analog composite video signal.

When the CBK-SC01 extension board is installed, you can record the external analog composite video signal input to this connector.

zTEST OUT connector (BNC type)

This connector outputs the video signal 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 internal board and menu settings, menus, time code, and shot data can be superimposed on the image on the monitor. Like the VIDEO OUT connector, this connector can also be used to synchronize the time code of an external VTR with the time code of the camcorder.

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

wj (i.LINK) DV IN/OUT S400 connector (6-pin,

IEEE1394 compliant)

Connect to a device supporting the DV format or a computer, using a i.LINK cable.

Notes

•If video and audio signals are not output to an external device connected to the i.LINK DV IN/OUT S400 connector, try disconnecting the i.LINK cable and then reconnecting it, making sure that it is firmly seated.

•When you connect this unit to an external device with a 6-pin i.LINK connector, always power this unit off and disconnect the DC cable from the DC IN connector, or remove the battery pack, before connecting or disconnecting the i.LINK cable.

If you connect or disconnect the i.LINK cable while power is being supplied to this unit, high voltage (8 to 40 V) can flow into this unit from the i.LINK connector of the connected equipment, possibly damaging this unit.

•When you connect this unit to an external device with a 6-pin i.LINK connector, always connect the 6-pin i.LINK connector on the external device first.
