The digital signal output from the 3G/HD-SDI terminal includes the video signal, audio signal (2 or 4 channels) and time code signal. If necessary, perform the following procedure to activate the terminal and select the type of signal output. Turning the output off will conserve the camcorders power.
1. Press the <MENU> button.
2. Activate the 3G/HD-SDI terminal.
2-1. Select [  Video Setup] -> [3G/HD-SDI].
2-2. Select the desired option and then press <SET>.
[Direct](*1): The video recording signal is output unchanged.
[Compatible](*1): The video signal output is compatible with most external monitors.
[On](*2): There is video output from the terminal.
[Off]: No video output from the terminal.
*1: [CAMERA] mode only.
*2: [MEDIA] mode only.
 : Joystick  : In the following procedures, 'Press <SET>' refers to the action of pressing the joystick straight down to select the desired setting.
3. To select the mapping mode for 1080/59.94P output, open the [3G-SDI Mapping] submenu.
3-1. Select [ Video Setup] -> [3G-SDI Mapping].
3-2. Select the desired option ([Level A] or [Level B]) and then press <SET>.
- You can select a video output signal compliant with Level A or Level B of the SMPTE ST 425-1 standard.
4. When you have finished making the settings, press the <MENU> button to close the menu.
Embedded Audio
You can use the 3G/HD-SDI terminal to output the uncompressed HD video signal along with embedded audio. If you set the [ Video Setup ] -> [SDI Output] setting to [Direct] or [Compatible], the embedded audio will automatically be set to ON.
Time Code
You can use the 3G/HD-SDI terminal to output the uncompressed HD video signal along with the SMPTE time code. If you set the [ Video Setup ] -> [SDI Output] setting to [Direct] or [Compatible], the embedded time code will automatically be output.
There are three running modes, as shown below, in which the time code can be output from the 3G/HD-SDI terminal. When using a frame rate other than 23.98P, you can also select between a drop frame and non-drop frame time code.
| Rec Run |
The time code runs only while recording so MXF clips recorded consecutively on the same CF card will have continuous time codes. |
| Free Run |
The time code starts running the moment you press SET to select this option and keeps running regardless of the camcorders operation. |
| Regen. |
The camcorder will read the selected CF card and the time code will continue from the last recorded time code on the CF card. The time code runs only while recording so MXF clips recorded consecutively on the same CF card will have continuous time codes. |
NOTE
- If you set an assignable button to [Time Code Hold] , you can press the button to freeze the display of the time code. However, the time code signal output from the 3G/HD-SDI terminal or TIME CODE terminal will not be put on hold. The time code superimposed on the video signal output from MON. terminal, HDMI OUT terminal and AV OUT terminal will be put on hold.
- During special recording modes such as Interval recording, the time code signal will not be output from the TIME CODE terminal, 3G/HD-SDI terminal or MON. terminal.
