Adjustments and Settings for Recording

Video system and Recording format

The unit uses an interlace/progressive scan (reading all pixels) switchable type CCD.
With combinations of the SYSTEM MODE and CAMERA MODE menu options on the SYSTEM MODE screen on the
SYSTEM SETTING menu, you can select an image system from among 12 types including HD (1080i) and SD formats.
In addition, through the REC SIGNAL menu option, you can record external input signals such as 1394 and SDI (optional).
Selecting a recording signal and method
SYSTEM MODE menu option
Allows you to select a combination of system
frequency (59.94 Hz or 50 Hz) and signaling system
(1080i, 480i, or 576i). When a change has been made
to the SYSTEM MODE option, the viewfinder indicates
"TURN POWER OFF." Then, turn the POWER switch
of the camera-recorder off and wait five seconds or
longer before turning the camera-recorder on again.
REC SIGNAL menu option
CAM Signals from the camera are recorded. The
CAMERA MODE option allows you to select
a camera operation mode (frame mode).
1394 Signals from the DVCPRO connector are
recorded. For information about the 1394
connection, see [Connection through the
DVCPRO connector] (page 135).
VIDEO Signals from the GENLOCK IN connector
are recorded when the camera-recorder is in
SD mode (480-59.94i or 576-50i).
SDI Signals from the SDI IN connector are
recorded (when the AJ-YA350AG, an SDI IN
option, is installed).
Notes
When VIDEO is selected, video may produce noise
if the signals from GENLOCK IN are non-standard
signals.
When SDI is selected, the time code or UMID
superimposed on SDI input signals are not
recorded.
CAMERA MODE menu option
Used to select a camera operation mode when the
option REC SIGNAL is set to CAM. For information
about the behavior for each setting, see [ Recording
formats and output connector signal formats ] (page 46).
Note
When the camera has been switched from 60i or 30P
to 24P or 24PA, video may produce noise for a
moment because the pull-down five-frame cycle is
adjusted. This is not an abnormal condition.
