Overview 1 Chapter

Note

Do not remove a “Memory Stick” while the “Memory Stick” access indicator is lit. Doing so may cause a loss of data.

bDC IN (DC power input) connector (XLR type, 4- pin, male)

To operate the camcorder using an AC power supply, connect an AC-550 AC Adaptor with the DC output cable supplied with the adaptor.

cAUDIO IN CH-1/CH-2 (audio input channel 1/2) connectors (XLR type, 3-pin, female) and input

selection switches

Connect other audio equipment or external microphone. Set the input selection switches as shown below according to the microphone or equipment.

LINE (left position): For connecting an external audio signal source such as a stereo amplifier

MIC (center position): For connecting any microphone other than 48 V microphone

MIC +48V ON (right position): For connecting a 48 V microphone

Signals input to the AUDIO IN CH-1 connector can be recorded on audio channels 1 and 3. Similarly, signals input to the AUDIO IN CH-2 connector can be recorded on audio channels 2 and 4. 1)

1)When the AUDIO IN (CH-1/CH-2/CH-3/CH-4) switches on the side control panel are set to “REAR” or “R”.

Note

If MIC +48V ON is selected for a microphone other than 48 V microphone, the microphone may be damaged.

d (i.LINK) DV OUT S400 connector (6-pin, IEEE 1394 compliant)

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

Notes

•If video and audio signals are not output from the

external device connected to the (i.LINK) DV OUT S400 connector, disconnect the i.LINK cable (DV cable) and then reconnect it, making sure that it is firmly seated.

•When you connect the camcorder and other equipment, such as a hard disk drive, with an i.LINK interface to a computer with i.LINK connectors, turn off the power of the computer, the other equipment, and the camcorder before connecting them using the i.LINK cable (DV cable). If a bus-powered type 1) hard disk drive or similar equipment is connected while the computer is powered on, electric current flows into the camcorder because of the high voltage caused by the load shift of the computer power, and this may cause a malfunction.

1) Equipment that can be powered through i.LINK cable (DV cable)

eREMOTE connector (8-pin)

Connect an RM-B150/B750 Remote Control Unit, which makes it possible to control the camcorder remotely.

Note

Before connecting/disconnecting the Remote Control Unit to/from the camcorder, be sure to turn off the camcorder POWER switch.

fDC OUT 12V (DC power output) connector (4-pin, female)

Supplies power for a WRR-861/862 UHF Synthesized Tuner (optional) (maximum 0.2 A).

Do not connect any equipment other than the UHF synthesized tuner.

gAUDIO OUT connector (XLR type, 5-pin, male) Output the audio signals recorded on audio channels 1 and 2 or audio channels 3 and 4. The audio signals are selected by the MONITOR switch.

hSDI OUT connector (BNC type)

Outputs an HDSDI or SDI signal (with embedded audio). To switch between HDSDI and SDI output, use the SDI OUTPUT SEL item on the OUTPUT page of the OPERATION menu.

Note that when the selected signal format is HDSDI, this connector outputs no signal if you try to play back video recorded in the DVCAM format.

During recording and playback of HD 23.98P signals

You can select 59.94i signals after 2-3 pulldown, or 23.98PsF signals. To switch between these signals, use the 23.9P OUTPUT item on the FORMAT page of the OPERATION menu.
