Location and Function of Parts

e

RS232C (serial interface) connector (D-sub 9-pin)

Use this for monitoring and diagnosis of the state of this

unit from an external computer, using the ISR (Interactive

Status Reporting) function.

HDV IN (OPTION) connector (6-pin, conforming to

IEEE1394)

Use an i.LINK cable to connect this unit to an HDV unit

(HVR-1500, HVR-M25, HVR-M15, HVR-Z1, HVR-A1,

HDR-FX1, HDR-FX7 or HDR-HC3) recommended by

Sony. This connector can be used only when an optional

HKDW-105 i.LINK (HDV) Input Board is installed.

•

If video or audio signals from an external device

connected to the HDV input connector fail to be output,

disconnect the i.LINK cable and connect it again,

pushing it straight in.

•

Before connecting or disconnecting an i.LINK cable

between this unit and a device with a 6-pin i.LINK

connector, power off the device and disconnect its power

cord from the electrical outlet. If the i.LINK cable is

connected or disconnected with the device’s power plug

still connected, high voltage (8 to 40 V) from the

device’s i.LINK connector can flow into this unit,

possibly damaging the unit.

•

When connecting this unit to a device with a 6-pin

i.LINK connector, connect to the 6-pin i.LINK

connector of the other device first.

7

Timecode input/output section

a

TIME CODE IN connector (XLR 3-pin, female)

To record timecode from an external device, input a

timecode signal from the timecode output connector of the

external device.

b

TIME CODE OUT connector (XLR 3-pin, male)

This outputs a timecode according to the operating state of

the unit, as follows:

•

During playback:

the playback timecode

By setting setup menu item 606, you can also output the

timecode from the internal timecode generator locked to

the playback timecode.

•

During recording:

the timecode generated by the

internal timecode generator or the timecode input to the

TIME CODE IN connector.

8

Audio monitor signal output section

a

MONITOR OUTPUT R (right channel) connector

(XLR 3-pin, male)

This outputs the audio signals whose output destination

was set to “R” with the audio monitor signal selection

buttons in the audio control section. If multiple tracks have

been set to “R”, the signals of those tracks are mixed for

output.

b

MONITOR OUTPUT L (left channel) connector

(XLR 3-pin, male)

This outputs the audio signals whose output destination

was set to “L” with the audio monitor signal selection

buttons in the audio control section. If multiple tracks have

been set to “L”, the signals of those tracks are mixed for

output.
