The SDI 1-4 Main Outputs are always free of superimposed on-screen information. These
outputs may be routed to monitors, projectors, external recorders, routers, converters,
etc. The SDI 1-4 Main Outputs support all of the formats and frame rates that CION is
capable of:
• 4K progressive (4096x2160)
– 23.98/24/25/29.97/30/50/59.94/60
• Ultra HD progressive (3840x2160)
– 23.98/24/25/29.97/30/50/59.94/60
• 1080 progressive HD (1920x1080)
– 23.98/24/25/29.97/30/50/59.94/60
• 1080 interlaced HD (1920x1080)
– 25/29.97
NOTE: For formats that do not require the use of all four of the SDI 1-4 Main Outputs, the remaining
outputs are duplicated. For example, if the recording format, frame rate and video output
settings are configured for 1080p 23.98 YCbCr, then each of the four SDI 1-4 outputs will
produce a 1080p 23.98 YCbCr output.
NOTE: Not all connected devices will support all of the formats and frame rates that CION is capable
of outputting. Be sure to consult the specifications of your devices to see if a given format and
frame rate is supported.
Connecting the LANC Cable to the CION Top Handle LANC Collar
Tools needed: None
Parts needed: AJA-supplied LANC cable.
Included with CION is a LANC Collar. The LANC Collar is a remote control start/stop unit
that sits between the Top Handle and the Handle Base. The supplied LANC cable may be
connected to either the LANC connector on the top of CION or the LANC connector on
the side of CION. Typically, you will want to connect the LANC cable to the LANC
connector on the top of CION so that the other LANC connector on the side of CION may
be used for a handgrip LANC connection.
NOTE: The LANC ports on CION only support start/stop recording commands; no other LANC
functionality is supported.
