• When the device to be connected to the unit has a
LANC-M function to switch between SHUTTLE A/B,
select SHUTTLE A for an HDV-formatted tape, and
SHUTTLE B for a DVCAM/DV (SP)-formatted tape.
• A LANC connection transmits command signals for
playback, stop, pause playback, as well as the time
code, tape counter, and data status of the unit.
• Jacks labeled CONTROL L have the same function as
LANC jacks.
• There are some limitations when you edit an HDV-
formatted tape.
Refer to the “Notes” in “Editing (Connecting a Computer)”
on page 45.

RESET button
If you press this button with the tip of a ballpoint pen or
similar tool, the following settings are initialized.
– [CLOCK SET]
and [60i/50i SEL]
in the [OTHERS] menu.
– The settings on the unit other than the menu settings.

COMPONENT OUT jacks
Use these jacks to output component signals.
To connect a device equipped component video input
connectors, use the COMPONENT OUT jacks on the
unit. If you use the COMPONENT OUT jacks, you can
output high-quality video with less signal quality
deterioration than if you use the S VIDEO jacks.
You can set the output video format by using
[COMPONENT] of [VIDEO OUT] in the [IN/OUT
REC] menu.
When the DISPLAY OUTPUT switch is set to ALL,
text data such as time code, menu, and alarm messages
are superimposed on a monitor connected using the
COMPONENT OUT jacks
.
• When you change the video format setting of
[COMPONENT] of [VIDEO OUT] in the [IN/OUT
REC] menu, the video signal output from the
S VIDEO OUT jack, VIDEO OUT jack, or HDV/
DV jack may be distorted for a moment.
• When you play back a tape in DVCAM/DV format and
while an EE picture in NTSC/PAL is displayed, either
the 480i resolution or the 576i resolution is output,
regardless of the setting of [COMPONENT] of
[VIDEO OUT] in the [IN/OUT REC] menu.
• When [COMPONENT] 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 are
converted to 1080/60i and 1080/25p video signals are
to 1080/50i, and output.
• When you play back an HDV-formatted tape with
copyright protected signals or input HDV signals with
copyright protection to the HDV/DV jack, pictures
may be output in either 480i (NTSC) or 576i (PAL)
format, regardless of the setting of [COMPONENT] of
[VIDEO OUT] in the [IN/OUT REC] menu.
• The output level of the COMPONENT OUT jacks is as
follows:
Output at 480i (NTSC)
With [BETACAM] selected in [480i LEVEL] of the
[IN/OUT REC] menu
Y: 1.0 Vp-p
(with 0.286 Vp-p sync negative,

Ω
(ohms), unbalanced)
Pb/Cb/B-Y, Pr/Cr/R-Y: 0.7 Vp-p
(output impedance 75
Ω
(ohms), unbalanced)
(75% color bars with 7.5 IRE setup)
With [SMPTE] selected in [480i LEVEL] of the [IN/
OUT REC] menu
Y: 1.0 Vp-p
(with 0.3 Vp-p sync negative,
output impedance 75

(100% color bars with no setup)
Output with other settings
Y: 1.0 Vp-p
