2. Set menu items below on the AG-DVX200.
- SYSTEM MODE > OUTPUT BITS: 4:2:2(10bit)
- OUTPUT SETUP > OUTPUT SEL: HDMI
- OUTPUT SETUP > SDI REMOTE: ON
- OUTPUT SETUP > REMOTE REC LINK: OFF

Two control methods when using external recorders
REC/PAUSE operation of external recorders can be performed with the REC button on the
AG-DVX200 when output sampling (OUTPUT BITS item) is set "4:2:2(8bit)", but it does not
work when setting is "4:2:2(10bit)" because internal recording of this sampling mode is not
supported.
However, external recorder remote control can be performed by using an assignable USER
button for the REC function even in 4:2:2 (10bit) mode. See following table for menu settings
example by sampling type (8bit/10bit).
