Selecting an Input Signal

To record or output a signal, either SDI or i.LINK
must be selected as the input signal source. The
setting is made in [Input Source Select] in the
[VIDEO SET] menu.
If i.LINK is selected, output to i.LINK is not
possible.
In UDF/HD mode and exFAT mode, i.LINK
cannot be selected.

After switching this setting, the recorder will
automatically restart.
Switching between HD Mode/SD Mode
For [HD/SD] switching, use [System] (page 57)
in the [OTHERS] menu.
When you change the menu setting, the recorder

during recording and playback.
Switching between XAVC/MPEG2

[System] (page 57) in the [OTHERS] menu.
This can be selected when [F.Sys.] is set to
