When using a Sony liquid crystal display monitor, make
the connections as follows.
a To check an SDI signal

input connector of the LMD-9050 liquid crystal display
monitor with a 75Ω coaxial cable (not supplied).
You can use SDI OUTPUT SEL on the OUTPUT page of
the OPERATION menu to switch between HDSDI and
SDSDI output from the SDI OUT connector. For details,
see page 112.
Note the following points when HDSDI signals are
selected as the output from the SDI OUT connector.
• No signal is output from the SDI OUT connector when
signals recorded in DVCAM format are being played
back.
• Text information and markers cannot be superimposed
on the HDSDI output.
b To check an SD (NTSC/PAL) signal
Connect the VIDEO OUT connector of this unit and the
LINE A or LINE B input connector of the LMD-9050
liquid crystal display monitor with a 75Ω coaxial cable
(not supplied).
The items displayed on a monitor are same as the ones on
the viewfinder screen. For details, see “Status Display on
the Viewfinder Screen” on page 26.
Using an i.LINK Connection
Using the (i.LINK) DV OUT S400 connector, you can
connect external equipment to the camcorder.
Video recorded in the MPEG HD format is down-
converted to the DVCAM format and output from the
(i.LINK) DV OUT S400 connector.
For connections using FAM (file access mode), see “File
Operation” (page 156).
Settings required for an i.LINK connection

of the following. (The factory default setting is “2CH”.)
2CH: Output channels 1 and 2 (16 bits, 48 ksps)
4CH: Output channels 1 to 4 (12 bits, 32 ksps)
When the scan mode is 23.98P, video, audio, or timecode
