• Make sure that the signal format of the camera
and the connected device is the same.

• To use HD (1080i, 720P) set the menu option
REC FORMAT in the SYSTEM SETUP screen to
DVCPRO HD/60i or DVCPRO HD/60P.
The AVC-Intra format and DVCPRO HD native
recording do not allow input via the IEEE 1394
interface.
 NOTE
• Signals that have the same format as that set in the menu
options SYSTEM MODE and REC FORMAT in the SYSTEM
SETUP screen should be input to the IEEE 1394 interface. A
signal in a different format will not be correctly recorded on
a P2 card. Video and audio recording and EE type video and
audio of signal inputs other than 1x speed playback signals
may not work.
For details, see [Warning and Error Display for Thumbnail
Operation and USB HOST MODE] (page 153).
• Audio signal inputs are input signals from the DVCPRO/DV
connector.
• 32 kHz/4CH (12 bit) audio signals input via the IEEE1394
interface are recorded as 48 kHz/4CH (16 bit) on a P2 card.
• It is not possible to use the GENLOCK IN connector to
synchronize to an external reference signal.
• Signals output from the VIDEO OUT or AUDIO OUT
connectors differ from actual input signals. Use such signals
for monitoring.
• The following functions do not operate.
• Pre-recording function
• Loop recording function
• Interval recording and one-shot recording function
Time Code and User Bits
• When input from the IEEE1394 interface is selected,
the time code or user bits input to the TC IN connector
cannot be recorded on a P2 card.
• When input from the IEEE1394 interface is selected,
time code output from the TC OUT connector is not
synchronized to the video signal output from the VIDEO
OUT connector.
Subcode area time codes and user bits
• When input from the IEEE 1394 interface is selected and
the TCG switch is set to F-RUN, the time code of the
subcode area input from the DVCPRO/DV connector can
be recorded on the P2 card.
• To record user bits input from the DVCPRO/DV connector
on a P2 card, set the menu option UB MODE in
RECORDING SETUP to EXT.
VAUX area time codes and user bits
When input from the IEEE1394 interface is selected,
time code and user bits of the VAUX area input from
the DVCPRO/DV connector is recorded on a P2 card
regardless of camera menu settings and switch positions.
Recording UMID (Unique Material
Identifier) data
When input from the IEEE1394 interface is selected, UMID
data input via the DVCPRO/DV connector is recorded on
a P2 card. When no UMID data is available, the camera
generates and records such data.
UMID data is not recorded when the camera is operating in
the DV mode.
