Outputting The Color Bars And Reference Tone - Sony PMW-F3L PMW-F3K Operating Instructions Manual

Outputting the Color
Bars and Reference
Tone
The camcorder can output a color-bar signal in
place of the camera picture.
A 1-kHz reference tone is output with the color
bar signal if "1kHz Tone" of "Audio Input" (page
106) is set to "On" with the AUDIO SET menu.
The color-bar and reference-tone signals are fed
out from the HD SDI (A/B), SDI OUT, HDMI
OUT, and i.LINK (HDV/DV) connectors. The
VIDEO OUT connector outputs the color-bar
signal only.
