Editing 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 or DVCPRO HD/60P. 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. 105
