Connections to the DVCPRO/DV connector
Recording signals input to the
DVCPRO/DV connector
1
Connect a 1394 cable (DV cable).
• “Precautions in 1394 connections” (Page 107)
• Make sure that the signal format of the
camera-recorder and the connected device is
the same.
2
To route inputs via the IEEE1394 interface,
set the menu option REC SIGNAL in the
SYSTEM SETUP screen to 1394.
• To use HD (1080i, 720P) set the menu option
REC FORMAT in the SYSTEM SETUP
screen to DVCPRO HD/60i (DVCPRO
HD/50i) or DVCPRO HD/60P (DVCPRO
HD/50P).
The AVC-Intra format and DVCPRO HD
native recording do not allow input via the
IEEE1394 interface.
3
Check that video from the IEEE 1394
interface is displayed in the viewfinder or
LCD monitor, and press the START/STOP
button to begin recording.
4
Press the START/STOP button again to stop
recording.
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 IEEE1394
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.
·
“Errors and warnings” (Page 126)
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
·
One-clip recording function
As well as those displayed in blue, there
are other items on the setting menu for
which the setting value cannot be changed.
However, this is not a fault and these items
are not related to this function.
Time Code and User Bits
• When input from the IEEE1394 interface is
selected, the time code and user’s bit input from
TC IN/OUT cannot be recorded on P2 card.
• When input from the IEEE1394 interface is
selected, the time code output from TC IN/OUT
is not synchronized with the video signal output
from the VIDEO OUT terminal.
