HD/SD SDI OUT connector (BNC)
The HD/SD SDI OUT connector can be used to
connect a device that supports SDI. The device
type can be a monitor, switcher, or VTR or other
recording device.
The output from this connector can be turned on
and off with OPERATION >Input/Output >SDI
Output in the setup menu (see page 113).
For connection, use a BNC cable (not supplied).
VIDEO OUT connector
The VIDEO OUT connector can be used to
connect a device that supports analog composite
signal. The device type can be a monitor or VTR
or other recording device.
The output signal varies as shown in the
following table depending on the setting of
OPERATION >Output&i.LINK in the setup
menu.
Setting Output signal
HD&HDV (in FAT HD-Y analog signal which
mode) has the same video format
HD (in UDF mode) with the signal output from
the HD/SD SDI OUT
connector.
SD&HDV or Composite signal which has
SD&DV (in FAT the same video format with
mode) the signal output from the
SD (in UDF mode) HD/SD SDI OUT connector.
When OPERATION
>Format >HD/SD in the
setup menu is [SD], the
output composite signal is
the same as the NTSC or
PAL encoded signal that is
output from the HD/SD SDI
OUT connector
a) Use OPERATION >Format >Country (see page 112)
in the setup menu to switch between NTSC and PAL.
To input the VIDEO OUT connector output
signal to an external analog composite device, it
may be necessary to change the input signal
setting of that external device to be matched with
the analog composite signal setting for the
VIDEO OUT connector.
To input camcorder output audio to an external
device such as a monitor or VTR or other
recording device, connect the audio output of the
AUDIO OUT connector to the audio input of that
external device.
For connection, use a BNC cable (not supplied).
i.LINK (HDV/DV) connector
In FAT mode, i.LINK (HDV/DV) connector
supports HDV and DV input/output. However,
DV streams cannot be recorded on this
camcorder.
This connector can be used to connect a device
that supports i.LINK (HDV). The device type can
be a monitor, read/write device such as VTR or
HDD, or computer.
To input/output HDV signals
HDV input/output is supported when the video
format is an HDV compatible format (SP 1440/
59.94i, SP 1440/50i, or SP 1440/23.98P), Input/
Output >Output&i.LINK in the OPERATION
menu is set to [HD&HDV] or [SD&HDV], and
Input/Output >i.LINK I/O is set to [Enable].
When the video format is SP 1440/23.98P, a
59.94i HDV signal subjected to 2-3 pulldown
processing is output.
To input/output DV signals
DV input/output is supported under either of the
following conditions.
• Input/Output >i.LINK I/O in the OPERATION
menu is set to [Enable] on SD mode.
• On HD mode, the video format is other than DV
incompatible formats (HQ 1920/23.98P, HQ
1440/23.98P, and HQ 1280/23.98P), Input/
Output >Output&i.LINK is set to [SD&DV],
and Input/Output >i.LINK I/O is set to
[Enable].
