Introduction: Recording From a Variable Frame-Rate Camera
Recording From a Variable Frame-Rate Camera
Combined with a variable frame-rate camera (VariCam: AJ-
HDC27 series), the unit makes it possible to record HD SDI (720/
23.98p over 59.94p) output from the camera as DVCPRO HD or
AVC-Intra 720/23.98p native recording.
1
Connect the camera HD SDI (720/23.98p over
59.94p) output to the SDI IN connector and press the
INPUT SELECT button to select HD SDI.
2
Make the following setup menu settings.
◆
NOTE:
• To record 720/24p over 60p output from a variable frame-rate
camera, set menu No. 25 (SYSTEM FREQ) to 60-24. No output
is made to a monitor video in this mode.
3
Hold down the REC button and the STILL/PAUSE
button simultaneously to set the unit to REC PAUSE
mode.
4
To start recording, press the STILL/PAUSE button
while viewing the video output from the camera HD
SDI output.
◆
NOTE:
• Set setup menu No. 155 (AUTO REC) to TYPE1 and set the
CONTROL switch to REMOTE. The unit will then automatically start
and stop recording as the REC and STOP buttons are pressed on
the camera.
• SDI is output in the 1080/23.98 PsF video format. Analog video and
IEEE1394 are not output.
• No time code can be input to the TIME CODE IN connector.
• The SDI output is delayed relative to LCD monitor and monitor video
output. Analog audio, speaker and headphone output is
synchronized to the LCD monitor and monitor video output. To
synchronize these outputs to SDI output, set setup menu No. 778
(AUD OUT DLY) to ON.
• Set camera TCG to FREE RUN/NDF (non drop frame) mode. A TC/
UB of an SDI input that cannot be properly read cannot be normally
recorded.
