Main video path

When the camera is used in the triax mode, the R, G and B video signals from the sensors are first subjected to video processing and then pass to the multiplexer/ transmitter section which sends Y, R-Y and B-Y to the CPU via the triax cable. The R, G and B video signals are available for the studio as outputs on the rear of the CPU.

Viewfinder video

The normal signal displayed in the viewfinder is the Y signal. This is derived from the R, G and B video signals from the video processing circuits. Additional information is added to the viewfinder signal to provide superimposed text and graphics. The video signal for display in the viewfinder can be selected from the above mentioned Y signal or an external 1 or external 2 video signal. The external 1 and 2 video signal are input from the studio system to the rear of the CPU and are transmitted via the triax cable to the camera. The Y, external 1 and external 2 video signals can be viewed separately, or Y mixed with external 1 or 2.

Output signals

The camera has four video output connectors: two on its right side and two on the backpanel. The external output connector carries the external signal from the CPU. The monitoring out connector carries the signal which is displayed in the viewfinder.
