5.1.1 Digital connectors
SDI signals
The SDI (SD) output signal is according to SMPTE 259M with a maximum of 4 audio channels
(24-bit) embedded in the DSC signal according to SMPTE 272 M-A, and Error Detection and
Handling (EDH) signals according to SMPTE RP 165.
The HD-SDI (HD) output signal is according to SMPTE 292M: Bit-Serial Digital Interface for
High Definition Television Systems with a maximum of 4 audio channels (24-bit) embedded in
the DSC signal according to SMPTE 299M, and Error Detection and Handling (EDH) signals
according to SMPTE RP 165.
Embedded time code standard
The (HD-)SDI inputs and outputs are capable of extracting or inserting embedded time code
from or to the (HD-)SDI signal according to:
– HD-SDI: RP188-1999: Transmission of Time Code and Control Code in the Ancillary
Data Space of a Digital Television Data Stream,
– SDI: SMPTE-266M-2002: 4:2:2 Digital Component Systems Digital Vertical Interval
Time Code.
Viewfinder output signal
The viewfinder signal can be selected in the SYSTEM > HARDWARE > PORTS menu for output
as a HD-SDI signal on the digital video connector. When selected, the message VF is shown in
the viewfinder. The viewfinder signal is only output when the video format of the camcorder is
set to a HD standard.
Connector name Function
Digital video output • normal HD-SDI or SDI output, or
• viewfinder signal HD-SDI output.
(Video standard depends on video format of camcorder.)
Digital video input HD-SDI or SDI input for:
• viewing,
• recording,
• extracting and locking to VITC, or
• embedded SDI audio.
Analog video output
(or digital audio output)
Analog video output
• CVBS for viewing/monitoring purposes *), or
• LTC - linear time code output.
*) When an SD video standard is selected, On Screen Display (viewfinder
information) is not available even when OSD is enabled.
This connector can also be configured to provide an AES digital audio
output signal.
Analog video input
(or digital audio input)
Analog video input
• CVBS for recording and for genlocking, or
• LTC - linear time code input to lock to an external time code source and
also for genlocking.
This connector can also be configured to accept an AES digital audio
input signal.
