According to the signal fed to the monitor, set "SDI/HDMI Out Display" or "Video Out Display" of the VIDEO SET menu (page 108) to "On." When outputting SD signals in HD mode, select in advance the output mode (Squeeze, Letterbox, or Edge Crop) with "Down Converter" (page 109) of the VIDEO SET menu. Note SD signals down-converted for output have the following restrictions: Images of 50P/50i/25P are output as PAL signals, those of 59.94P/59.94i/29.97P are output as NTSC signals, and those of 23.98P are output as 2-3 pulled-down NTSC signals. SDI OUT connector (BNC type) The connector is set at the factory to output an HD SDI signal. When you set the camcorder to SD mode, the connector outputs an SD SDI signal. Using "SDI/HDMI/i.LINK I/O Select" (page 108) of the VIDEO SET menu, you can change the setting so that it outputs down-converted SD SDI signal for monitoring even in HD mode. Use a commercially available 75-ohm coaxial cable for connection. To start recording on an external device in synchronization With HD SDI signal output selected, synchronized recording is possible by feeding a REC trigger signal to an external recording device connected via the SDI OUT connector. To enable synchronized recording, set "SDI Rec Control" (page 109) of the VIDEO SET menu to "HD SDI Remote I/F." To display the menus and status information on the connected monitor Set "SDI/HDMI Out Display" (page 108) of the VIDEO SET menu to "On."Note Note No signal is fed out from the SDI OUT connector when "SDI/HDMI/i.LINK I/O Select" of the VIDEO SET menu is at any setting other than "HD SDI" or "SD SDI," enabling the HDMI OUT connector and the i.LINK (HDV/DV) connector. HDMI OUT connector (Type A connector) Signal output from this connector is enabled by setting "SDI/HDMI/i.LINK I/O Select" (page 108) of the VIDEO SET menu. In HD mode, you can select HD HDMI, SD HDMI interlace, or SD HDMI Progressive output. In SD mode, only an SD HDMI interlace signal can be output.
