CAM: VIDEO: 1394: The signals from the camera are recorded. The signals from the GENLOCK IN connector are recorded. The images may be disrupted when the signals from the GENLOCK IN connector are non-standard signals. The signals from the DVCPRO connector are recorded. Bear the following points in mind when 1394 is selected as the setting. O Connect the unit to external units on a 1-on-1 basis. O The sound is recorded using the audio signals supplied to the DVCPRO connector but its input level cannot be adjusted. At a time like this, nothing is recorded on the cue track. O The cue signals cannot be input or output. O When the TCG switch is at the F-RUN position, the time code supplied to the DVCPRO connector is recorded. O When the TCG switch is at the R-RUN position, the recording is performed using the time code which has been recorded on the tape. O When EXT is selected as the UB MODE item setting on the screen by performing menu operations, the user bits which are supplied to the DVCPRO connector are recorded. O The user bits which are supplied to the DVCPRO connector are recorded in the vertical blanking period regardless of the VITC UB MODE item setting. O It is not possible to record the time code which is supplied to the TC IN connector. O The time code which is output from the TC OUT connector is not synchronized with the video output signals or the output signals from the DVCPRO connector. O The signals which are output from the VIDEO OUT connector, MON OUT connector or AUDIO OUT connector differ from the actual signals. Use them for monitoring purposes. O It is not possible to use the GENLOCK IN connector to achieve synchronization with the external reference signal. O The signals may be disrupted when the power of the connected units is switched from ON to OFF or vice versa or when the interface cable is connected or disconnected. O It may take several seconds for the system to stabilize immediately after the input signals are switched or immediately after the operation mode is changed, for instance. Wait until the system has stabilized before proceeding with recording. O Supply normal playback speed (1k speed) signals. When playback signals of any other speed are supplied, the images and sound may not be recorded properly. O The pre-recording function SDC905 and Interval REC function do not work. O Characters other than the ones that are used in the menus are not displayed on the viewfinder screen and output images. Similarly, the same are not displayed when VIDEO is selected. 30
