b GENLOCK IN connector (BNC type)
Use for the following two purposes.
• For DSR-400/400P/450WS/450WSP: Inputs a
reference signal when the camcorder is to be genlocked
or when time code is to be synchronized with external
equipment. Use the GENLOCK page of the
MAINTENANCE menu to adjust the genlock H-phase
(phase of horizontal sync signal) and the sub-carrier
phase.
• For DSR-450WS/450WSP only: Inputs an external
video signal. Installing a CBK-SC01 Composite Input
Board allows you to record external analog composite
video signals input via this connector. Non-standard
video signals, such as VHS, cannot be recorded.
For details, see "Recording Analog Composite Signals
(with a CBK-SC01 Installed- DSR-450WS/450WSP only)"
on page 65.
c MONITOR OUT connector
Outputs a composite video signal for a video monitor.
Depending on menu settings, menus, time code, and shot
data can be superimposed on the image on the monitor.
h MIC IN (microphone input) (+48V) connector
(XLR type, 3-pin, female)
Connect the supplied microphone to this connector. A
microphone other than the one supplied may also be
connected as long as it can operate with power source
supplied by external equipment. The power (+48 V) is
supplied via this connector.
i Fitting for optional microphone holder
