1. HD/SD-SDI input connector and
indicator
This connector allows SDI signals to be input .
Connect it to the SDI output connector of your
camera or deck. If an input signal is present,
the indicator will light in one of the following
colors. If there is no input, the indicator will
blink.
• HD-SDI (1080i) : green
• HD-SDI (720p) : orange
• SD-SDI : red
2. HD/SD-SDI output/thru out connector
This connector outputs an SDI signal. Connect
this to the SDI input connector of your deck or
other video recording device. You can also use
this as a thru-out for the SDI signal that is
being input to the VC-50HD, in order to send
("thru-out") this signal to a video mixer or
similar device.
3. IEEE 1394 connector and indicator
This connector inputs and outputs an HDV/
DV or other signal via IEEE 1394. Connect it to
the IEEE 1394 (i.LINK) connector of your
camera, deck, or computer. If input is present,
the indicator will light in one of the following

If the F-1 (version 2 or later) is connected as the
output destination device, you'll be able to edit
the VC-50HD's settings via remote control
from the F-1.
Carefully check the shape of the IEEE 1394
connector before connecting it. Connecting it in
the reversed orientation may damage
components inside the VC-50HD, causing
malfunctions.
4. HDMI output connector
Connect this to a monitor device that has an
HDMI input, such as a television or computer
display.
5. POWER indicator
This indicator will light when the VC-50HD is
powered up.
* This indicator will blink if the AA batteries run
low. If this begins blinking, replace the batteries
as soon as possible.
