Connection With External Device; Connection Through The Dvcpro/Dv Connector - Panasonic AJ-HPX2100E Operating Instructions Manual

Connection with external device

Connection through the DVCPRO/DV connector

Records of signals input to the DVCPRO/DV connector
1
Refer to [32.DVCPRO/DV connector] (page 20) 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
In case of input from the IEEE 1394 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 no device is connected to the DVCPRO/DV
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 IEEE 1394
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 136).
The audio signal input will consist of an input signal from
the IEEE1394 interface.
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 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
Proxy recording function

Time code and user bits
When input from the IEEE 1394 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 IEEE 1394 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 IEEE 1394 interface is being
received, the timecode in the SBC area, which is input
from the DVCPRO/DV 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
the 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/
DV 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 IEEE 1394 interface is being
received, regardless of the menu setting and/or the
switch position on the camera-recorder, the timecode
and the user bits in the VAUX area input from the
DVCPRO/DV connector are always recorded on the P2
card.
Recording of UMID (Unique Material
Identifier) information
When the input from the IEEE 1394 interface is being
received, the UMID information input from the DVCPRO/
DV connector will be recorded on the P2 card. If there is
no UMID information, it will be generated in the unit and
recorded.
When the camera-recorder is operating in the DV mode,
the UMID information is not recorded.
