Note
The unit (camcorder) that controls this unit must also
support HDSDI remote output.
Settings
Set setup menu item 214 REMOTE INTERFACE to
“SDI”, and set the remote control switch on the front panel
to “REMOTE”.
This unit enters HDSDI remote control mode, in which it
is controlled by command packets received via the SD/
HDSDI INPUT connector.
Note
The following limitations apply in HDSDI remote control
mode.
• Commands received via the REMOTE(9P) connector
are ignored.
• Recording and playback operations on the front panel
are disabled, except for the EJECT button.
Monitor display in HDSDI remote control mode
“RM-SDI” appears in the remote interface display area
(see page 21) of the monitor. This display lights if
command packets are embedded into HDSDI signals, and
flashes if they are not. However, the “RM-SDI” continues
to flash until the time the controlling camcorder is powered
on and the time that the REC button is pressed on the
camcorder.
Recording operation
When a recordable disc is inserted, recording (or stop) is
executed according to the REC (or STOP) command
embedded into the HDSDI signals.
Recording stops automatically when the end of the disc is
reached.
When HDSDI signals are interrupted during
recording
Recording stops if HDSDI signals are interrupted during
recording, for example because the HDSDI cable is
disconnected or the controlling camcorder is powered off.
When HDSDI signal input is restored, the unit resumes
operation according to the embedded REC or STOP
command.
Exchanging discs
Even during recording, it is possible to eject discs by
pressing the EJECT button on the front panel. After a disc
is exchanged, the unit resumes operation according to the
embedded REC or STOP command.
Note
This unit begins recording operation about one second
after the camcorder.
