The standard of the video signal output from the
HD/SD SDI (

only),
HD/SD COMPONENT OUT and
HDV/DV terminals depends on the standard used for recording (or the standard of the recording on the tape being played back) and on various menu settings. Video output from the
VIEWFINDER/COMPONENT OUT,
A/V1, or
VIDEO 2 terminal will always be in
480/60i standard. Standard of Video Output while Recording
While recording in high definition, video output from the HD/SD SDI terminal will be an uncompressed HD, YPbPr signal. You can down-convert the video output with the respective menu settings.
