5.1 Video standards
To obtain the video standards of your choice for recording and output, you must make several
selections in the
SETUP/FORMATS
menu on the side panel display.
There are six different video standards. Each of these standard is used to derive the video
signals for recording and output. The video formats you select affect many other functions
such as output signal formats and recording capacity.
*Interlaced formats are indicated by
i
; progressive formats by
p
. The field/frame rate (50 or 59.94) is shown after
one of these letters.
The camcorder can be used in either HD standards or SD standards. The SDI video outputs are
switched automatically to the appropriate standards.
An analog CVBS output is available. This down-converted SDTV signal is present at the analog
output in either NTSC or PAL.
5.1.1 Aspect ratio
The native aspect ratio of the imager is 16:9. The HD signal is always 16:9 while the SD signal
can be set to 4:3 or 16:9. The 4:3 format can be cropped (side panels removed from 16:9
aspect ratio) or letterboxed (16:9 format in 4:3 aspect ratio with black bars on top and bottom).
