If a color video monitor provided with an SDI input
connector is used, select SDI as the output signal of the
VIDEO OUT connector and connect the camcorder to the
SDI IN connector of the color video monitor.
The camera display image is output to the CBK-SD01 SDI
Output Board even when playing a recorded image.
Notes
• When connecting the camcorder to an external
equipment using the VIDEO OUT connector or the
MONITOR OUT connector, terminate the connecting
cable. If the cable is not terminated, the picture will not
be output from the camcorder to the external equipment.
• Playing the tape on the camcorder mutes the audio signal
portion of the SDI output.
• You can select either VBS or SDI for the output signal
of the VIDEO OUT connector, depending on the input
connector used on the monitor. See 1) and 2) in the
illustration above.
