Connecting External Monitors and Recording Devices

To display recording/playback pictures on an
external monitor, select the output signal and use
an appropriate cable for the monitor to be
connected.
An output signal from the camcorder can be
recorded when a recording device is connected.
The same status information and menus can be
displayed on the external monitor as those on the
viewfinder screen.
According to the signal fed to the monitor, set
"Output Display" (page 44) in the Video menu to
"On."
SDI OUT connector (BNC type)
Set the on/off setting of the output, and output
format in the Video menu (page 44).
Use a commercially available 75-ohm coaxial
cable for connection.
To start synchronized recording on an external
device
With SDI signal output selected, synchronized
recording is possible by feeding a REC trigger
signal to an external recording device connected
via the SDI OUT connector. To enable
synchronized recording, set "SDI/HDMI Rec
Control" (page 48) in the Recording menu to
"On."

to a REC trigger signal, the device cannot be operated.
