Introduction Variable Frame Rate-Recording To record active frames from the output of a variable framerate camera, set setup menu No. 040 (VFR REC) to ON. This enables instant viewing of slow-motion and fast-motion speed effects during shooting. ◆ NOTE: • Audio and external time codes cannot be recorded in this mode. • The P2 card that is being recorded cannot be changed during recording. • In this mode, the remaining P2 card capacity at 60p (50p), the slowest slow-speed effect, is indicated. • When 59-23 or 60-24 is set in setup menu No. 25 (SYSTEM FREQ), movement in HD SDI video output may look unnatural when the input frame rate is something other than 24p. • Changing the frame rate while recording a video signal from a variable frame rate camera may result in frame loss in the changeover phase. Recording HD SDI Signals Output by an HD Camera as 1080/23.98p The unit is capable of AVC-Intra 1080/23.98p native recording of HD SDI (1080/23.98p over 59.94i) output from an HD camera. 2 Make the following setup menu settings. Item Setting Recording HD SDI signals from camera output 1 Connect the HD SDI (1080/23.98p over 59.94i) output from an HD camera recorder to the SDI IN connector and press the INPUT SELECT button to select HD SDI. No.25 No.020 SYSTEM FREQ SYS FORMAT 59-23 1080p 3 Hold down the REC button and the STILL/PAUSE button simultaneously to set the unit to REC PAUSE mode. 4 To start recording, press the STILL/PAUSE button while viewing the video output from the camera HD SDI output.

The unit will then automatically start and stop recording as the REC and STOP buttons are pressed on the camera. • SDI is output in the 1080/23.98 PsF video format. IEEE1394 is not output. • No time code can be input to the TIME CODE IN connector. • The SDI output is delayed relative to LCD monitor and monitor video output. Analog audio, speaker and headphone output is synchronized to the LCD monitor and monitor video output. To synchronize these outputs to SDI output, set setup menu No. 778 (AUD OUT DLY) to ON. • Set camera TCG to FREE RUN. A TC/UB of an SDI input that cannot be properly read cannot be normally recorded. 43 Introduction: Recording From a Variable Frame-Rate Camera
