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 6-3-2 “Selecting the Output Signals” on page 94.

xREMOTE connector (8-pin)

Connect the RM-B150/B750 Remote Control Unit (not supplied), which makes it possible to remote-control the VDR and camera.

yGENLOCK IN connector (BNC type)

•This connector inputs a reference signal when the camera is to be genlocked or when the 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 image of 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 (not supplied) 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 to be composite or RGB. The factory setting is composite, and the setting returns to composite whenever the power is switched on. Depending on the internal board and menu settings, the menu, the time code and the 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 AV/C protocol or SBP 2 protocol, using a DV cable.
