Constantly outputting a return video
• When a camera control unit is connected, one of the signals
being supplied to the camera control unit can be output from
the camera.
• The last selected return signal is output.
• The same textual information as that displayed on the
viewfinder screen can be added to the output signal by
setting CHARACTER to "ON" on the <SDI OUT> or <TEST
OUT> page.

Outputting the same image as that on the
viewfinder screen
• With HD-SDI, you can obtain a signal that includes the same
information as that being displayed on the viewfinder screen
according to the settings of the VF MARKER,
CHARACTER, VF DETAIL, ZEBRA, etc. The ON/OFF or
other settings for adding information are common to those
for the viewfinder. The output is synchronized with switching
among Y, R, G, and B or switching to a return signal.
• With SD-SDI or VBS, the output is synchronized only with
switching between a return signal and the camera image. It
does not correspond to switching among Y, R, G, and B.
Information other than CHARACTER (such as VF
MARKER, VF DETAIL, ZEBRA) cannot be added to the
output.
Note
With the settings for outputting the same image as that on the
viewfinder screen, the output will be obtained in 1080i, even if
the format setting is 720P.
