Introduction: Recording From a Variable Frame-Rate Camera

To record active frames from the output of a variable frame-
rate camera, set setup menu No. 040 (VFR REC) to ON. This
enables instant viewing of slow-motion and fast-motion speed
effects during shooting.
◆
NOTE:
• Audio and external time codes cannot be recorded in this mode.
• The P2 card that is being recorded cannot be changed during
recording.
• In this mode, the remaining P2 card capacity at 60p (50p), the
slowest slow-speed effect, is indicated.
• When 59-23 or 60-24 is set in setup menu No. 25 (SYSTEM FREQ),
movement in HD SDI video output may look unnatural when the
input frame rate is something other than 24p.
• Changing the frame rate while recording a video signal from a variable
frame rate camera may result in frame loss in the changeover phase.
The unit is capable of AVC-Intra 1080/23.98p native recording
of HD SDI (1080/23.98p over 59.94i) output from an HD camera.
1
Connect the HD SDI (1080/23.98p over 59.94i) output
from an HD camera recorder to the SDI IN connector
and press the INPUT SELECT button to select HD SDI.
2
Make the following setup menu settings.
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:
• Setup menu No. 155 (AUTO REC) to TYPE2 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. IEEE1394 is 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. A TC/UB of an SDI input that cannot
be properly read cannot be normally recorded.
