Connecting to an External Monitor
108
NOTES
• When q > [Output Terminal] is set to [ HD/SD-SDI & HDMI], the signal output
from the HDMI OUT terminal will be determined by the q > [HD/SD-SDI Output] setting.
• The HDMI OUT terminal on the camcorder is for output only. Do not connect it to an HDMI output
terminal on an external device, as this may damage the camcorder.
• There will be no video output from the AV OUT terminal while an external monitor is connected to
the HDMI OUT terminal.
• Correct operation cannot be guaranteed when connecting the camcorder to DVI monitors.
• Video may not be output correctly depending on the monitor. In such case, use another terminal.
• If you selected an option other than [k Automatic] and the connected monitor is not compatible
with the signal output from the camcorder, then HDMI output will stop.
• By default, onscreen displays will be embedded in the output video signal. You can change this
using the q > [Output Onscreen Displays] setting.
Using the AV OUT Terminal
The AV OUT terminal outputs a down-converted analog video signal and audio signal for connection
to monitors with a composite audio/video input.
NOTES
• When you play back a scene on a monitor with a 4:3 aspect ratio, the monitor will switch
automatically to widescreen mode if it is compatible with the WSS system.
• If you are connecting the camcorder to a standard definition monitor without widescreen mode,
make sure to change the s > [TV Type] setting.
