Playback
• To playback an image recorded in HDV format when
you connect the monitor using an SDI cable or a
component video cable, set [SDI/CMPNT] of [VIDEO
OUT] in the [IN/OUT REC] menu according to the
requirements of your monitor
. When an
image recorded in DVCAM/DV format is played back,
only an image with a quality equivalent to that of the
DVCAM/DV format of 480i (NTSC) or 576i (PAL) is
output via the HD/SD SDI OUT jack and the
COMPONENT OUT jacks, regardless of the [SDI/
CMPNT] setting.
• For details on the output level from the HD/SD SDI
OUT jack and the COMPONENT OUT jacks, see
“Specifications”
.
• To change the output level from the COMPONENT
OUT jacks, see [480i LEVEL] in the [IN/OUT REC]
menu
.
• There are some restrictions on images output from the
HD/SD SDI OUT jack and the COMPONENT OUT
jacks of the unit.

• When HDV signals are down-converted to DVCAM
(or DV) format and output during HDV playback, the
unit can output 4-channel audio to jacks other than the
HDV/DV jack.
• If you connect the input connectors of the unit to the
output connectors of a monitor, a humming noise may
be generated or the image may be distorted. If these
phenomena occur, use the INPUT SELECT switch to
select a signal that is not being input, or disconnect the
cables.
• The unit cannot up convert DVCAM/DV recordings to
HDV at output.
• When [SDI/CMPNT] of [VIDEO OUT] in the [IN/
OUT REC] menu is set to either [1080i/480i] or
[1080i/576i], 1080/24p and 1080/30p video signals
played back are converted to 1080/60i and 1080/25p
video signals are to 1080/50i, and output from the
COMPONENT OUT jacks and the HD/SD SDI OUT
jack.
Connecting the unit to a monitor equipped
with an i.LINK jack
The video and audio signals are sent with hardly any
degradation, enabling high-quality playback to a
monitor with an i.LINK connector that supports HDV,
DVCAM, and DV formats.
• Be sure that you set [HDV/DV SEL] in the [IN/OUT
REC] menu to [AUTO] (default setting) before
connecting the monitor to the unit with the i.LINK
cable. If you change the setting after connecting the
i.LINK cable, the monitor may not recognize the video
signals correctly
.
• To connect the unit to a monitor equipped with an
i.LINK jack, you may need to set the monitor so that it
recognizes the unit.
For details, refer to your monitor’s instruction manual.
• When an i.LINK connection is made, the unit cannot
output video or audio only.
