141 Connection with external device: Connection through the DVCPRO connector
Connection with external device
This unit cannot receive input via the DVCPRO connector. The DVCPRO connector is output only.
The DVCPRO connector can be connected to an external
device for backup recording to control the start and stop of
recording.
1
When connecting the 1394 (DV) cable, see
[30. DVCPRO connector] (page 22).
Set the 1394 CONTROL menu option on the <1394
SETTING> screen on the SYSTEM SETTING page to
“BOTH”.
2
Through the 1394 CMD SEL menu option, select the
type of stop recording command to be received by the
external device.
3
Through the REC TALLY menu option on the <OPTION
MODE> screen, select how the recording status of the
unit should be indicated. Note that the recording status
of the external device is indicated with a red tally LED.
Notes
When the Fire Store FS-100, manufactured by Focus, is
used as external storage, the VITC UB MODE menu
option on the <TC/UB> screen on the MAIN OPERATION
page can be set to “FRM RATE” to allow the FS-100 to
indicate the shooting frame rate of the unit on its display. It
is also possible to add the same USER CLIP NAME of the
unit to the record clip of the FS-100.
Note that when recording a backup with an external
device connected to the unit during Rec run mode and
there is insufficient storage space on the P2 card inserted
into the unit, the time code output from the DVCPRO
connector will not advance from that point.
When the AVC-Intra format, DVCPRO HD Native mode or
INTERVAL REC mode is selected, it is impossible to
control any external devices through the 1394 connection.
When connecting the 1394 (DV) cable, see [30. DVCPRO
connector] (page 22).
The AV signals may be disrupted by turning the power of
the connected devices on and off or by disconnecting and
re-connecting the I/F cables.
It may take several seconds for the system to operate
stably when the operation is transferred from one mode to
another.
Perform recording operation after the system operation
has stabilized.
For signals output from the IEEE1394 interface, the
FRONT AUDIO LEVEL control on the side panel is
disabled.
When the unit is controlled through PC application
software, etc., take note of the following.
– Software must be used under the condition where the
unit thumbnail screen is closed. The application
software may not be able to apply control when the
thumbnail screen is open.
During special playback, video and audio signals which
have not been processed as the output signals of the
IEEE1394 interface will be output. When these video and
audio signals are monitored on another device, they may
be at variance from the video and audio signals which are
played back by unit.
When there is a problem with the connection of the
DVCPRO connector, “1394 E-92” will be displayed in the
display window. For more details, refer to [8. 1394 Error]
(page 156).
