e RS232C (serial interface) connector (D-sub 9-pin)
Use this for monitoring and diagnosis of the state of this
unit from an external computer, using the ISR (Interactive
Status Reporting) function.
HDV IN (OPTION) connector (6-pin, conforming to
IEEE1394)
Use an i.LINK cable to connect this unit to an HDV unit
(HVR-1500, HVR-M25, HVR-M15, HVR-Z1, HVR-A1,
HDR-FX1, HDR-FX7 or HDR-HC3) recommended by
Sony. This connector can be used only when an optional
HKDW-105 i.LINK (HDV) Input Board is installed.
• If video or audio signals from an external device
connected to the HDV input connector fail to be output,
disconnect the i.LINK cable and connect it again,
pushing it straight in.
• Before connecting or disconnecting an i.LINK cable
between this unit and a device with a 6-pin i.LINK
connector, power off the device and disconnect its power
cord from the electrical outlet. If the i.LINK cable is
connected or disconnected with the device’s power plug
still connected, high voltage (8 to 40 V) from the
device’s i.LINK connector can flow into this unit,
possibly damaging the unit.
• When connecting this unit to a device with a 6-pin
i.LINK connector, connect to the 6-pin i.LINK
connector of the other device first.
7 Timecode input/output section
a TIME CODE IN connector (XLR 3-pin, female)
To record timecode from an external device, input a
timecode signal from the timecode output connector of the
external device.
b TIME CODE OUT connector (XLR 3-pin, male)
This outputs a timecode according to the operating state of
the unit, as follows:
• During playback: the playback timecode
By setting setup menu item 606, you can also output the
timecode from the internal timecode generator locked to
the playback timecode.
• During recording: the timecode generated by the
internal timecode generator or the timecode input to the
TIME CODE IN connector.
8 Audio monitor signal output section
a MONITOR OUTPUT R (right channel) connector
(XLR 3-pin, male)
This outputs the audio signals whose output destination
was set to “R” with the audio monitor signal selection
buttons in the audio control section. If multiple tracks have
been set to “R”, the signals of those tracks are mixed for
output.
b MONITOR OUTPUT L (left channel) connector
(XLR 3-pin, male)
This outputs the audio signals whose output destination
was set to “L” with the audio monitor signal selection
buttons in the audio control section. If multiple tracks have
been set to “L”, the signals of those tracks are mixed for
output.
