To display recording/playback pictures on an
external monitor, select the output signal and use
an appropriate cable for the monitor to be
connected.
Output signal from the camcorder can be
recorded when a recording device is connected.
Regardless of whether the signal is HD or SD, the
same status information and menus can be
displayed on the external monitor as those on the
LCD monitor/viewfinder screen.
According to the signal fed to the monitor, set
“SDI/HDMI Out Display” or “Video Out
Display” of the VIDEO SET menu (page 115) to
“On.”
When outputting SD signals in HD mode, select
in advance the output mode (Squeeze, Letterbox,
or Edge Crop) with “Down Converter” (page
116)

he VIDEO SET menu.

Note

SD signals down-converted for output have the
following restrictions:
Images of 50P/50i/25P are output as PAL signals,
those of 59.94P/59.94i/29.97P are output as
NTSC signals, and those of 23.98P are output as
2-3 pulled-down NTSC signals.

SDI OUT connector (BNC type)

The connector is set at the factory to output an HD
SDI signal.
When you set the camcorder to SD mode, the
connector outputs an SD SDI signal.

115)
of t
he VIDEO SET menu, you can change
the setting so that it outputs down-converted SD
SDI signal for monitoring even in HD mode.

cable for connection.

synchronized recording is possible by feeding a
REC trigger signal to an external recording
device connected via the SDI OUT connector. To
enable synchronized recording, set “SDI Rec
Control” (page 117) of the VIDEO SET menu to
“HD SDI Remote I/F.”
