Outputting the Color
Bars and Reference
Tone
The camcorder can output a color-bar signal in
place of the camera picture.
A 1-kHz reference tone is output with the color
bar signal if "1kHz Tone" of "Audio Input" (page
118) is set to "On" with the AUDIO SET menu.
The color-bar signal is also fed out from the SDI
OUT, COMPONENT OUT, MONITOR OUT
and S VIDEO connectors, and the reference-tone
signal is fed from the AUDIO OUT connectors.
