• Use VIDEO/SDI/1394 output for monitoring purpose in other modes than playback mode. It is not
suitable for recording purpose because Pictures/Sound/Time cord (TC/UB) may become incorrect.
• If the content on the P2 card has been recorded in DVCPRO HD, DVCPRO50, DVCPRO25 or DV
format, signals are also output from DVCPRO/DV input/output connector (IEEE1394).
(AVC-Intra100 and AVC-Intra50 do not support 1394 output)
