Location and Function of Parts
Chapter 1 Overview
f Viewfinder fitting shoe
Attach the DXF-801 Viewfinder.
g LIGHT (video light) connector (2-pin, female)
A video light with a maximum power consumption of 50
W, such as the Anton Bauer Ultralight 2 or equivalent can
be connected
(page 33).
h MIC IN (microphone input) (+48V) connector
(XLR type, 3-pin, female)
Connect the supplied microphone to this connector. A
microphone other than the one supplied may also be
connected as long as it can operate with power source
supplied by external equipment. The power (+48 V) is
supplied via this connector.
i Fitting for optional microphone holder
Fit an optional CAC-12 Microphone Holder (page 34).
Rear section
a Attachment shoe for large viewfinder
Attach an optional electronic viewfinder (page 31).
b GENLOCK IN connector (BNC type)
Use for the following two purposes.
• For DSR-400/400P/450WS/450WSP: Inputs a
reference signal when the camcorder is to be genlocked
or when time code is to be synchronized with external
equipment. Use the GENLOCK page of the
MAINTENANCE menu to adjust the genlock H-phase
(phase of horizontal sync signal) and the sub-carrier
phase.
• For DSR-450WS/450WSP only: Inputs an external
video signal. Installing a CBK-SC01 Composite Input
Board allows you to record external analog composite
video signals input via this connector. Non-standard
video signals, such as VHS, cannot be recorded.
For details, see “Recording Analog Composite Signals
(with a CBK-SC01 Installed- DSR-450WS/450WSP only)”
on page 64.
c MONITOR OUT connector
Outputs a composite video signal for a video monitor.
Depending on menu settings, menus, time code, and shot
data can be superimposed on the image on the monitor.
Like the VIDEO OUT connector
(page 18), this connector
can also be used to synchronize the time code of an
external VTR with the time code of the camcorder.
When connecting the camcorder to an external equipment
using this connector, terminate the connecting cable. If the
cable is not terminated, the picture will not be output from
the camcorder to the external equipment.
d EJECT switch and tape indicator (inside the
cassette lid)
Press to eject a cassette when the power is supplied to the
camcorder. The indicator lights up as below.
Continuous: When the cassette is in the camcorder.
Blinking: While the cassette is loading or ejecting.
Lights-out: When the cassette is not in the camcorder.
e Cassette lid
Slide the OPEN lever on the top of the camcorder to open
the lid. Press the side of the lid to close it.
