Chapter 2 Playback and Recording Playback Notes • To playback an image recorded in HDV format when you connect the monitor using an SDI cable or a component video cable, set [SDI/CMPNT] of [VIDEO OUT] in the [IN/OUT REC] menu according to the requirements of your monitor (page 73). When an image recorded in DVCAM/DV format is played back, only an image with a quality equivalent to that of the DVCAM/DV format of 480i (NTSC) or 576i (PAL) is output via the HD/SD SDI OUT jack and the COMPONENT OUT jacks, regardless of the [SDI/ CMPNT] setting. • For details on the output level from the HD/SD SDI OUT jack and the COMPONENT OUT jacks, see "Specifications" (page 103). • To change the output level from the COMPONENT OUT jacks, see [480i LEVEL] in the [IN/OUT REC] menu (page 77). • There are some restrictions on images output from the HD/SD SDI OUT jack and the COMPONENT OUT jacks of the unit. Refer to HD/SD SDI OUT jack 9 (page 18), COMPONENT OUT jacks 1-3 (page 20) of "Location and Function of Parts." • When HDV signals are down-converted to DVCAM (or DV) format and output during HDV playback, the unit can output 4-channel audio to jacks other than the HDV/DV jack. • If you connect the input connectors of the unit to the output connectors of a monitor, a humming noise may be generated or the image may be distorted. If these phenomena occur, use the INPUT SELECT switch to select a signal that is not being input, or disconnect the cables. • The unit cannot up convert DVCAM/DV recordings to HDV at output. • When [SDI/CMPNT] of [VIDEO OUT] in the [IN/ OUT REC] menu is set to either [1080i/480i] or [1080i/576i], 1080/24p and 1080/30p video signals played back are converted to 1080/60i and 1080/25p video signals are to 1080/50i, and output from the COMPONENT OUT jacks and the HD/SD SDI OUT jack. Connecting the unit to a monitor equipped with an i.LINK jack The video and audio signals are sent with hardly any degradation, enabling high-quality playback to a monitor with an i.LINK connector that supports HDV, DVCAM, and DV formats. HVR-M35 (rear panel) i.LINK cable (not supplied) i.LINK jack ( HDV/DV jack) Monitor with i.LINK jack : Signal flow Notes • Be sure that you set [HDV/DV SEL] in the [IN/OUT REC] menu to [AUTO] (default setting) before connecting the monitor to the unit with the i.LINK cable. If you change the setting after connecting the i.LINK cable, the monitor may not recognize the video signals correctly (page 72). • To connect the unit to a monitor equipped with an i.LINK jack, you may need to set the monitor so that it recognizes the unit. For details, refer to your monitor's instruction manual. • When an i.LINK connection is made, the unit cannot output video or audio only. 38 Chapter 2 Playback and Recording
