Connecting external devices and recording control function
This camera supports remote function.
The recording operation of the external equipment can be controlled by superimposing the control signals to start the recording and pause the recording
into the image signal output from the <SDI OUT1>/<SDI OUT2>/<HDMI> terminal.
Remote function
The signal to control the external equipment is superimposed in the output signal coupled with the operation of the <REC> button on the camera.

f Recording is performed on both the memory card and the external equipment by inserting a memory card into the camera and pressing the <REC>
button.
f Recording is performed only in the external equipment when the <REC> button is pressed without inserting a memory card into the camera.
