Connecting External Devices
To display recording/playback pictures on an
external monitor, select the output signal and use
an appropriate cable for the monitor to be
connected.
Regardless of whether the signal is HD or SD, the
same status information and menus can be
displayed on the external monitor as those on the
LCD monitor/EVF screen.
According to the signal fed to the monitor, set
“YPbPr/Digital Out Display” or “Video Out
Display” of the VIDEO SET menu (page 124) to
“On.”
When outputting SD signals in HD Mode, select
in advance the output mode (Squeeze, Letterbox,
or Edge Crop) with “Down Converter” 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)
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 “Output Select” (page 124) 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. (The HD/SD
switching becomes valid also on the
COMPONENT OUT connector in
synchronization.)
Use a commercially available 75-ohm coaxial
cable for connection.
To display the menus and status information on
the connected monitor
Set “YPbPr/Digital Out Display” (page 124) of
the VIDEO SET menu to “On.”
