Outputs
You can specify video signals directly output from the camera,

Outputting the same image as that on the
viewfinder screen
• With HD-SDI, you can obtain a signal that includes the same
information as that being displayed on the viewfinder screen
according to the settings of the VF MARKER,
CHARACTER, VF DETAIL, ZEBRA, etc. The ON/OFF or
other settings for adding information are common to those
for the viewfinder. The output is synchronized with switching
among Y, R, G, and B or switching to a return signal.
• With SD-SDI or VBS, the output is synchronized only with
switching between a return signal and the camera image. It
does not correspond to switching among Y, R, G, and B.
Information other than CHARACTER (such as VF
Setting
MARKER, VF DETAIL, ZEBRA) cannot be added to the
MAIN
output.
Note
Setting
With the settings for outputting the same image as that on the
SD-SDI
viewfinder screen, the output will be obtained in 1080i, even if
MAIN the format setting is 720P.
