Connecting External Monitors and Recording Devices

To display recorded/playback pictures on an
external monitor, select the camcorder output
signal and use an appropriate cable for the
monitor to be connected.
You can also connect recording devices, such
as a VTR, and record the output signal from the
camcorder.
You can display the same information that is
visible in the viewfinder, such as status information
and menus, on an external monitor. Set Output
Display (page 62) in the Video menu to On for
the corresponding type of signal to output to the
monitor.
SDI OUT Connector (BNC type)
Turn the output on/off and set the output format
using the Video menu (page 60).
Use a commercially available 75 Ω coaxial cable for

Check that the connection between the camcorder and the
external device is grounded before turning the devices on.
(It is recommended that the camcorder and
external device be turned on after connecting the
75 Ω coaxial cable.)
If the external device must be connected to the
camcorder while the camcorder is on, connect the
75 Ω coaxial cable to the external device first and
then connect it to the camcorder.

device simultaneously
With SDI signal output enabled, set SDI/HDMI Rec
Control (page 66) >Setting in the Recording
menu to On to enable output of a REC trigger
signal to the external device connected to the SDI

trigger signal, the device cannot be operated.

record START/STOP are set to control different media,
