Connecting External Devices
To output live or playback video images and audio sound to
an external monitor, select the output signals from the
camera recorder, and connect using an appropriate cable
according to the monitor to be used.
Connecting via Composite/Component
Output
Either component or composite signals can be output from
the BNC terminals on the terminal area of the camera
recorder.
Connect the external monitor to the [Y/VIDEO] output
terminal for composite signals, or to [Y/VIDEO], [PB], and
[PR] video signal output terminals for component signals.
* Select the output signal using [Output Terminal] in the [A/V
Out] menu. (A Page 86)
* To display menu screens or status screens on the external
monitor, set [Analog Out Char.] in the [A/V Out] menu to
AOnB. (A Page 86)
䡵Settings for Composite Output
1 Down convert the signals.
You can select the method to Adown convertB HD video
images to SD images during composite output.
Set using [Down Convert] in the [A/V Out] menu.
The available modes include ASide CutB, ALetter BoxB
(blackened at the top and bottom), and ASqueezeB (full size,
compressed at the left and right). (A Page 86)
2 Add setup signals.
Setup signals can be added to the output video signals
during composite output.
* You can select whether to add setup signals using [Set Up]
in the [A/V Out] menu. (A Page 86)
Connecting via SDI
Either HD-SDI or SD-SDI signals can be output from the
[HD/SD-SDI] terminal (BNC) on the terminal area of the
camera recorder.
● Digital audio signals, together with embedded
(superimposed) audio signals and time code signals, are
output for both the HD-SDI and SD-SDI signals.
● User’s bit output from the [HD/SD-SDI] output terminal is
used as a flag to determine valid video signals. Therefore,
accurate values will not be output.
Memo :
● The sampling frequency for embedded (superimposed)
audio signals is 48 kHz. Time code of the built-in time
generator as well as playback time code are also output.
* Select the output signal using [HD/SD-SDI Out] in the [A/V
Out] menu. (A Page 86)
* To display menu screens or status screens on the external
monitor, set [SDI Out Char.] in the [A/V Out] menu to AOnB.
