Caution:
● Before connecting or disconnecting any equipment,
turn the power of all connected equipment OFF.
● When a field switcher is used, picture quality will be
degraded if [REC QUALITY] is set to "H". In some
cases, the specified camera may not be used or the
playback picture may move up and down.
● As the camera switching signal is recorded, the picture
on the lower section of the monitor screen may be
missing. To record the external switcher's on-screen
display, set the display to the upper section of the screen.
Memo:
● Select the camera with the switcher.
● The monitor picture may not be switched during jog/
shuttle operation and skip search operation. This is
because the playback camera number is different from
the camera number selected with the switcher. To
display the picture from the selected camera on the
monitor, press the [PLAY] button.
