3 Digital signal input/output section

a SD/HD SDI IN (Serial Digital Interface input)
connector (BNC type)
This connector inputs digital video and audio signals in
HD-SDI or SD-SDI format. Select HD or SD with the
INPUT SELECT HD VIDEO or SD VIDEO button.
The following signal formats are supported when HD-SDI
signals are input.
• 1080/59.94i (when the system frequency is 60i)
• 1080/50i (when the system frequency is 50i)
The current input signal selections are indicated in the
input signal display (see page 16).
Note
The 1035/59.94i signal and 1080/29.97PsF signal are
treated as the 1080/59.94i signal, and the 1080/25PsF
signal is treated as the 1080/50i signal.
b SDI OUT1, OUT2 (SDI signal output 1, output 2)
connectors (BNC type)
These connectors output video and audio signals in SDI
format (SD).
c HD SDI OUT1, OUT2 (HD Serial Digital Interface
output 1, output 2) connectors (BNC type)
These connectors output digital video and audio signals in
HD-SDI format.
When the optional HVBK-1520 board is installed,
upconverted signals are output during playback of DV/
DVCAM/DVCPRO tapes and during input of SD video
signals.
d AUDIO I/O (AES/EBU) IN (digital audio input) 1/
2, 3/4 connectors (BNC type)
These connectors input digital audio signals in AES/EBU
format.
The left connector (1/2) is for audio channels 1 and 2, and
the right connector (3/4) is for audio channels 3 and 4.
e AUDIO I/O (AES/EBU) OUT (digital audio
output) 1/2, 3/4 connectors (BNC type)
These connectors output digital audio signals in AES/EBU
format.

D Timecode input/output section
a TC IN (timecode input) connector (BNC type)
This connector inputs externally generated SMPTE
timecode.
b TC OUT (timecode output) connector (BNC type)
This connector outputs a timecode according to the
operating state of the unit, as follows.
During playback: the playback timecode
During recording: the timecode generated by the internal
timecode generator or the timecode input to the TC IN
connector.
When the EE OUT PHASE menu item (see page 80) is set
to NO OUTPUT, no timecode is output.
