Recording Audio
The camera features two-channel linear PCM audio recording and playback with a sampling frequency of
48 kHz. You can record audio using commercially available microphones (XLR terminal, MIC terminal) or line
input (XLR terminal). You can select the audio input independently for channel 1 and channel 2.
An audio signal will be output with the video signal from the 3G-SDI terminals, MON. terminals and HD/SD SDI
terminal. When you use an external recorder, the audio signal will also be recorded.
Connecting an External Microphone or External Audio Input Source to the Camera
In order to use the XLR terminals, the monitor unit must be attached to the camera. The monitor unit features
two XLR terminals (CH1/CH2) that can be used to record audio independently to the two audio channels.
In addition to XLR microphones, you can also connect to the camera’s MIC terminal commercially available
condenser microphones with their own power supply and a ∅ 3.5 mm mini-stereo plug*. If the monitor unit is
attached to the camera, you can use the microphone holder on the monitor unit.
* For 50.00 Hz recordings, use commercially available microphones with a cable no longer than 3 m.
Follow the procedure below to attach a microphone (refer also to the following illustration). To connect an
external device to the camera, plug the device’s cable into the camera’s XLR terminal (ብ).
1 Loosen the microphone lock screw (ቢ), open the microphone holder and insert the microphone (ባ).
2 Tighten the lock screw and put the microphone cable through the microphone cable clamp under
the microphone holder (ቤ).
3 Plug the microphone cable into the desired XLR terminal (ብ) or the MIC terminal (ቦ).
NOTES
• Be careful not to pass the microphone cable in front of the cooling fan’s air vents. Failure to do so may cause
audio noise to be recorded.
