Setting the Camera
Outputs
You can specify video signals directly output from the camera,
with menu operations.
You can display the signal name by attaching a label
(supplied) for the configured output signal name to the
connector label area.
• The MAIN (camera picture), RET (return video), or VF (the
same picture as that displayed on the viewfinder screen)
setting is common to SD-SDI and VBS. Different signals
cannot be output.
• The output is 1080i, even if the format setting is 720P.
Outputting the signal being shot (camera
picture)
The same textual information as that displayed on the
viewfinder screen can be added to the output signal by setting
CHARACTER to “ON” on the <SDI OUT> or <TEST OUT>
page.
To output as HD-SDI
To output as SD-SDI
To output as VBS
Constantly outputting a return video
• When a camera control unit is connected, one of the signals
being supplied to the camera control unit can be output from
the camera.
• The last selected return signal is output.
• The same textual information as that displayed on the
viewfinder screen can be added to the output signal by
setting CHARACTER to “ON” on the <SDI OUT> or <TEST
OUT> page.
To output as HD-SDI

Outputting the same image as a viewfinder
• With HD-SDI, you can obtain a signal that includes the same
information as that being displayed on the viewfinder screen
according to the settings of the VF MARKER,
CHARACTER, VF DETAIL, ZEBRA, etc. The ON/OFF or
other settings for adding information are common to those
for the viewfinder. The output is synchronized with switching
among Y, R, G, and B or switching to a return signal.
• With SD-SDI or VBS, the output is synchronized only with
switching between a return signal and the camera image. It
does not correspond to switching among Y, R, G, and B.
Information other than CHARACTER (such as VF
MARKER, VF DETAIL, ZEBRA) cannot be added to the
output.
With the settings for outputting the same image as a
viewfinder, the output is 1080i, even if the format setting is
720P.
To output as HD-SDI

Outputting 3G/6G/12G SDI
The SDI 1 output and SDI 2 output form 3G/6G/12G SDI
output.
For details, see “SDI-1 and SDI-2 output formats” (page 55).
