Backup Recording
Backup Recording of the GY-HD250/GY-
HD251’s Camera Image and Sound
Through the IEEE1394 Connector
The GY-HD250/GY-HD251’s camera image and sound can
be recorded for backup on another component that is
equipped with IEEE1394 connector.
Connections
Use the GY-HD250/GY-HD251 as the master unit.
Connect the master unit and the backup unit with a
IEEE1394 cable.
Settings
Master unit (GY-HD250/GY-HD251)
1.
Set the IEEE1394 switch on left side of the GY-HD250/
GY-HD251.
2.
Place in Camera mode.
3.
Set the 1394 REC TRIG. item on the OTHERS[2/2] menu
screen.

See page 97.
For HDV mode, set the BACK SPACE [HDV] item.

See page 97.
Backup unit
• Place in HDV/DV signal input mode.
* Depending on the used component, it may be neces-
sary to set “REMOTE SELECT”.
• When BR-HD50 is used, set the Backup Recording
function to OFF.
Also, set REM SEL HDV/DV in the REMOTE[1/2] menu
of the BR-HD50 to ON or LOC+REM.
• Insert the tape and set to STOP or REC PAUSE status.
CAUTION
• Set the IEEE1394 switch on both devices to either HDV
or DV.
• Start recording after making sure that both devices are
properly connected.
• If the RET button is pressed during backup recording,
output from the IEEE1394 terminal is stopped, the image
is switched to the image recorded on this device, inter-
rupting the backup recording image.
Operation
Start and stop of recording on the backup unit takes place in
accordance with the operation of the REC/VTR trigger button
on the master unit.
(Depending on the GY-HD250/GY-HD251 or the backup unit,
the image, audio, and/or time code may deviate from what
they should be at the points where the recording is started or
stopped.)
MEMO
• When the backup recording is started, the “TRIGGER
TO DV” or “TRIGGER TO HDV” indication is shown on
the LCD or in the viewfinder for approx. 3 seconds.
• When the Series Recording function of BR-HD50 is
used, the GY-HD250/GY-HD251’s 1394 REC TRIG. item
should be set to OFF.
• If the backup device is equipped with a feature to record
time codes input from the IEEE1394 connector (TC
DUPLICATE feature), time code data the same as on the
master side can be recorded.
If the master unit tape is paused or stopped when the
master unit time code running mode is in REC RUN
mode, the time code for the slave unit stops.
• When using BR-HD50 as a backup device and switching
GY-HD250/GY-HD251 from the playback mode to the
record mode, noise will be noticed on the monitor output
screen of BR-HD50 (backup will be correctly recorded).

Set camera switch functions with the remote control unit
(RM-LP55/RM-LP57).
Connection
Connect the remote control unit cable to the REMOTE termi-
nal.
CAUTION
Turn the power OFF when connecting.
Operation
1.
Turn the device ON.
2.
Turn ON the OPERATE switch on remote control unit to
activate the remote control unit.
See page 72 for details on functions that can be operated
with the remote control unit.
Notes on Using the Remote Control Unit
• When the switch function of this device and the remote
control unit are the same, the remote control switch func-
tion is prioritized.
• FOCUS and ZOOM cannot be adjusted with the remote
control unit.
• Shutter speed slightly differs from the value displayed on
this device.
• Shutter Speed in 24p Mode
When this device is in 24p mode, shutter speed cannot be
set to 1/60 (U model) or 1/50 (E model) with the remote
control unit.
Even if shutter speed is set to 1/60 or 1/50 with the remote
control unit when in 24p mode, the shutter speed for the
device is 1/48.
• When H PHASE adjustment is performed with the remote
control unit, only H PHASE of SD signal operates.
• When adjusting H PHASE of SD signal with the remote
control unit, it cannot be set outside the range of SD H
PHASE in the GENLOCK menu screen.

See page 99.
• AUTO WHITE Function
When the device is in VTR mode or during playback or
HEADER REC, the AUTO WHITE function does not work
even if the auto white operation is performed with the RM-
LP55 and RM-LP57.
In the case of the RM-LP55, “LOW LIGHT ERROR” is dis-
played on the LCD screen of the RM-LP55.
