Connection With External Device - Panasonic AG-HPX300 Operating Instructions Manual

Connection with external device

Connection through the DVCPRO connector
Records of signals input to the DVCPRO connector
1
Refer to [32.DVCPRO connector] (page 22) to
connect the 1394 cable (DV cable).
Ensure that the signal format of the target device
agrees with that of the camera-recorder.
2
Open the <1394 SETTING> on the SYSTEM
SETTING page and confirm that the settings in the
1394 IN CH item and the 1394 OUT CH item are set
to "AUTO".
3
Open <SYSTEM MODE> on the SYSTEM SETTING
page to set REC MODE to "DVCPRO HD."
4
In case of input from the IEEE1394 interface, set REC
SIGNAL to "1394".
The REC SIGNAL option must be selected from the
<SYSTEM MODE> menu on the SYSTEM SETTING
page.
Notes
When the AVC-Intra format is selected and data are
recorded, it is impossible to input/output data from the
DVCPRO connector.
When INTERVAL REC is operated, it is impossible to
input/output data from the DVCPRO connector.
When no device is connected to the DVCPRO connector
or no signal is being input to the connector, the display
window indicates "1394E-90" in the counter section.
Input the same signals to the IEEE1394 interface as the
format set in SYSTEM MODE and REC MODE in the
setting menu. If a different format is used, signals are not
properly recorded on P2 cards. When playback signals
other than regular a 1 (normal speed) playback signals
have been input, no guarantees are made for the video
and sound recorded or for the video and sound of the EE
system. For information about the error codes, see [1394
Error Codes] (page 152).
The audio signal input will consist of an input signal from
DVCPRO connector.
When the audio signal input from the IEEE1394 interface
is 32 kHz/4CH (12 bits), it is recorded as 48 kHz/4CH
(16 bits) on the P2 card.
It is not possible to use the GENLOCK IN connector to
achieve synchronization with the external reference
signal.
In SD mode, the thumbnail button is prerssed, thumbnail
screen are output to the viewfinder and the MON OUT
and VIDEO OUT connectors.
The signals which are output from the VIDEO OUT
connector, MON OUT connector or AUDIO OUT
connector differ from the actual input signals. Use them
for monitoring purposes.
The condition indicator character is not shown in the
viewfinder screen and the output images.
The following functions are not available.
PRE-RECORDING function
Loop recording
Interval recording function
Proxy recording function
Time code and user bits
When input from the IEEE1394 interface is being
received, the time code and/or the user bits input from
the TC IN connector cannot be recorded on the P2 card.
When input from the IEEE1394 interface is being received,
the time code output from TC OUT will not be synchronized
with the images output from the MON OUT connector.
Timecode and user bits in the subcode (SBC)
area
When input from the IEEE1394 interface is being
received, the timecode in the SBC area, which is input
from the DVCPRO connector, is recorded on the P2 card
by turning the TCG switch to the "F-RUN" position and it
will also be output from the TC OUT connector of
camera-recorder.
By turning the TCG switch into the "R-RUN" position, the
timecode in the SBC area will be recorded on the P2
card in accordance with the timecode of the clip
recorded on the P2 card.
When recording the user bits input from the DVCPRO
connector on the P2 card, open the <TC/UB> screen on
the MAIN OPEATION page from the menu and select
the "EXT" at UB MODE.
Timecode and user bits in the VAUX area
When the input from the IEEE1394 interface is being
received, regardless of the menu setting and/or the
switch position on camera-recorder, the timecode and
the user bits in the VAUX area input from the DVCPRO
connector are always recorded on the P2 card.
Recording of UMID (Unique Material Identifier)
information
When the input from the IEEE1394 interface is being
received, the UMID information input from the DVCPRO
connector will be recorded on the P2 card. If there is no
UMID information, it will be generated in the unit and
recorded.
