Dvcpro Dv Connection Via 1394 Connector; Recording Dvcpro Dv Signals Input To 1394 Connector - Panasonic AG-HPX500P Operating Instructions Manual

DVCPRO DV Connection via 1394 Connector

Recording DVCPRO DV
signals input to 1394
connector
1
Connect a 1394 cable (DV cable).
• For details, see [Precautions in 1394
Connections].
• Make sure that the signal format of the
camera and the connected device is the
same.
2
To input via the IEEE1394 interface,
enter MCR mode and turn off
thumbnails.
<Note>
• Input signals that have the same format as the setting
menu MCR FORMAT and REC MODE to the IEEE1394
interface. A signal in a different format will not be
correctly recorded on a P2 card. Video and audio
recording and EE type video and audio of signal inputs
other than 1x speed playback signals may not work.
For details, see [Errors].
• Audio signal inputs are input signals from the 1394
connector.
• 32 kHz/4CH (12 bit) audio signals input via the
IEEE1394 interface are recorded as 48 kHz/4CH (16 bit)
on a P2 card.
• It is not possible to use the GENLOCK IN connector to
synchronize to an external reference signal.
• Signals output from the VIDEO OUT, MON OUT or
AUDIO OUT connectors differ from actual input signals.
Use such signals for monitoring.
• The following functions do not operate.
• Pre-recording function
• Loop recording function
• Interval recording and one shot recording function
Time Code and User Bits
• When input from the IEEE1394 interface is selected,
the time code or user bits input to the TC IN
connector cannot be recorded on a P2 card.
• When input from the IEEE1394 interface is selected,
time code output from the TC OUT connector is not
synchronized to the video signal output from the
MON OUT connector.
Subcode area time codes and user
bits
• When input from the IEEE1394 interface is selected
and the TCG switch is set to F-RUN and F-RUN TC
SAVE is set to 1394, the time code of the subcode
area input from the 1394 connector can be recorded
on a P2 card.
• To record user bits input from the 1394 connector on
a P2 card, set the setting menu 1394 UB REGEN to
ON.
VAUX area time codes and user bits
When input from the IEEE1394 interface is selected,
time code and user bits of the VAUX area input
from the 1394 connector is recorded on a P2 card
regardless of camera menu settings and switch
positions.
Recording UMID (Unique Material
Identifier) data
When input from the IEEE1394 interface is selected,
UMID data input via the 1394 connector is recorded
on a P2 card. When no UMID data is available, the
camera generates and records such data.
Control of external devices through
1394 connection
Using the 1394 interface to connect an external device
for backup recording allows the operator to control
start and stop operation of backup recording from the
camera.
1
Connect a 1394 cable (DV cable).
• For details, see [Precautions in 1394
Connections].
• Set 1394 CONTROL in the setting menu
OTHER FUNCTION screen to BOTH.
2
Use the setting menu 1394 CMD SEL
to select the command for terminating
recording that external devices receive.
<Note>
When the camera is set to REC RUN to perform backup
recording on a connected external device, the advance
of time code from the 1394 connector will stop when all
P2 cards have been fully recorded regardless of whether
backup recording continues.
